More Cardiology Health Queries
View allI've been having some health issues that are making me anxious. My ECG today showed a low T wave in V4 and a slight ST depression in V6. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm a bit worried about it. I also tend to get high blood pressure sometimes, and my lipid and cortisol levels are up. What can I do about all this? Should I be getting any more tests done?
Based on your ECG findings of low T wave in V4 and slight ST depression in V6, along with your history of anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels, it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health. I recommend you to consult a cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and management plan. Further tests that may be recommended include: 1. Stress test (Treadmill test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity. 2. Echocardiogram to evaluate the structure and function of your heart. 3. Holter monitor or event monitor to monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 4. Blood tests to assess your cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and other cardiac markers. In the meantime, it is important to manage your anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels. You can consider medications such as Atorvastatin for high cholesterol, Amlodipine for high blood pressure, and Alprazolam for anxiety. However, the specific dosage and duration of these medications should be determined by your healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation.

I've been experiencing this breathlessness, and every time I check my pulse, it feels like there's a mild heartbeat with a skipped beat. Should I be worried about this?
Sometimes feeling breathless and experiencing palpitations can be concerning. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try using a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the palpitations and reduce the sensation of skipped beats. However, it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a healthcare professional.
