I'm a bit concerned because my recent ECG report mentioned LVH. I'm not sure if this is something I need to be really worried about. I don't smoke, but sometimes I get pain in my left thigh, and I've been having some stress-related chest discomfort due to work. Should I start treatment right away for LVH, and are there any specific precautions I should be taking?
LVH, or left ventricular hypertrophy, is a condition where the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart becomes thickened. It can be a serious issue if left untreated, as it can increase the risk of heart problems such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart attacks. In your case, it is important to address the underlying causes of LVH. Since you have mentioned occasional pain in your left thigh and stress-related chest discomfort, it is crucial to manage these symptoms and reduce stress levels to prevent further complications. Treatment for LVH may include medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, or calcium channel blockers to help reduce the workload on the heart. Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking are also important in managing LVH. It is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss the appropriate treatment plan based on your individual health status and risk factors.

I've been having a bit of a worry for a while now. I'm 21 and recently went through getting an ECG done a few times, around 5 to 6 times at different hospitals, but none of them could get a proper reading. It's strange because I've never had any heart issues before. The doctors keep mentioning that my pulse rate seems to always be on the higher side. I'm stressing out because this issue made me fail medical exams for some government jobs. What could be causing this? Any suggestions on what steps I should take next? It's really starting to get to me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called sinus tachycardia, which is when your heart rate is consistently elevated. To help manage this, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.
