I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and my pulse rate is around 90. I recently did an ECG, 2D ECO, and blood tests including the complete blood count, but everything came back normal. I'm just trying to figure out what could be causing these palpitations. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

The normal test results indicate that there may not be a serious underlying issue causing your heart palpitations. However, there are several potential reasons for experiencing heart palpitations despite normal test results. Some common causes include anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, anemia, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. In your case, since the tests have already been done and are normal, I would recommend trying to manage stress levels, reducing caffeine intake, staying hydrated, and ensuring a balanced diet. If palpitations persist or worsen, a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

View allI'm really worried because my homocysteine level is 93. Is that really dangerous? I also have MVP with moderate MR. I'm relieved that my white and red blood cells are at normal levels. Should I be concerned about the high homocysteine given my condition?
Hi, based on your homocysteine level of 93, it is considered high. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking a combination of medications such as Foltx (folic acid 1 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 1 mg) once daily. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and management.

My mom has an artery blockage of 60-70% in just one artery. The doctor mentioned using a stent. Are there other treatments for her heart besides a stent?
For a 60-70% artery blockage, the placement of a stent is a common and effective treatment option. However, depending on the specific circumstances and location of the blockage, your mother's doctor may consider other alternatives such as medication therapy or coronary artery bypass surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendation for the most appropriate treatment plan.

I'm experiencing some chest and arm pain, and I've been having heart palpitations lately. It's kind of weird because I can feel my heart pounding even when I'm just resting. I'm not super active, and my BMI is around 27.5. My HDL is only 34 but my blood pressure seems normal. I got an ECG done, and it showed a heart rate of 109 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but there weren't any ST T changes. The PR interval came out at 197 ms with a high QR of 86 and QTQTc between 298 and 402. Do you think I should get more tests done? What could all this mean?
Chest pain, arm pain, heart palpitations, and a high heart rate at rest with sinus tachycardia on ECG can be concerning symptoms. With a low HDL level and a BMI of 27.5, there may be underlying cardiovascular issues that need to be addressed. The PR interval of 197ms is slightly prolonged, which could indicate an atrioventricular conduction delay. Further evaluation is warranted to assess the overall cardiac function and rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include an echocardiogram, stress test, and possibly a Holter monitor to assess heart rhythm over a longer period. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and possibly medication like Atorvastatin to improve HDL levels may be beneficial in managing your cardiovascular health.
