I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent blood pressure readings and echo results. Usually, my BP is around 9070, but recently it's been up to 11090 or 11085, and then the cardiologist recorded it as 13090. My echocardiography showed a trace of AR and grade I LV diastolic dysfunction, yet the doctor said everything looked normal. Is it possible that this grade I LV diastolic dysfunction happened just because of my elevated BP at the time, and could it potentially go back to normal by my next echo? I've never really had high BP before, and now it's sometimes at 10070 or even back to 9070 mostly. Just trying to make sense of all this.

Hypertension medications to be continued, cardiologist opinion for echo.

I'm a bit concerned after my recent tests. My Echo and TMT came back normal when it comes to signs of a heart attack, but my cardiologist mentioned that my heart rate recovery was really slow after stopping the treadmill. This has me worried because I had some chest discomfort the day before the TMT. They prescribed me Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5 for two weeks and want me to come back after that. Should I be worried about these results? What could this slow heart rate recovery mean for me?

The slow heart rate recovery after exercise can be a concern and may indicate a potential issue with your cardiovascular health. The medications prescribed to you, Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5, are commonly used to manage heart conditions. You should take Ecospirin AV 7520 once daily and Corbis 5 as prescribed by your doctor. These medications can help improve blood flow and regulate your heart rate. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and attend your follow-up appointment as scheduled.

I'm a 30-year-old male and last night, I suddenly experienced a spike in my blood pressure and heart rate. I was feeling restless for about 2-3 hours, and my blood pressure even hit 16090 with my heart rate jumping between 95-120 BPM. Even now, my heart rate feels a bit on the higher side, around 90-100 BPM. I'm using a mobile app to monitor these, so I'm not entirely sure how accurate they are. Also, I've got a mild issue with kidney stones, specifically oxylate stones, and they give me some abdominal pain even though nothing showed up on the ultrasound. Should I be worried about these symptoms, or do you think they're related to my kidney stones?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or a panic attack, which can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate. However, given your history of kidney stones and abdominal pain, it's important to monitor your symptoms closely. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in reducing anxiety levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan, especially considering your history of kidney stones. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential in your case.
