View allI've noticed that my heart rate tends to go up to 130 when I'm feeling anxious, and I recently had an echo done. Thankfully, the report was normal, but it did show Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 54. I'm curious, can anxiety-induced high heart rate affect the echo results? Also, could these findings indicate any valvular disease?
High heart rate can affect certain echo parameters, but in your case, with a heart rate of 130 due to anxiety, the echo report came back normal. Valvular diseases can still be detected even with a high heart rate. In your case, the echo report showed Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and an ejection fraction of 54%. To further evaluate any valvular disease, you may need additional tests such as a Doppler echocardiogram. No specific medication is needed for Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but it's important to manage any underlying conditions contributing to it.

I'm curious and a bit concerned about the medication bryta mur that I've been prescribed for my isolated systolic hypertension. Is it something that can really tackle the problem at its core, or will its effects wear off once I stop taking it?

I had this sudden pain on the left side of my chest last night, and it kind of felt like there was pressure in my throat too. It went away after about 15-30 minutes, but theres still a bit of chest pain lingering. Any idea what might be going on? Im really worried.
Based on your description, it is possible that you may have experienced a muscle strain or inflammation in your chest wall, known as costochondritis. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain in the chest that may worsen with movement or deep breathing. It is usually not serious and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) taken at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out more serious conditions such as a heart problem.
