I'm looking at my ECG results and noticed a short PR interval of 104ms and a heart rate of 77 BPM. Is this something I should be worried about? What kind of care or steps should I take to address this?

View allI'm 33 and have been dealing with high blood pressure for about a decade. I've been taking medication for it, initially just Nebicard 5 mg, but after 12 years, my doctor switched me to Covamlo. However, recently due to some family stress, my blood pressure has spiked, and my doctor prescribed me two tablets. I'm really worried about this change. Is this normal, and should I be concerned about having to take more medication?
The medication prescribed to you for high blood pressure is a combination of drugs called Covamlo. The brand name for this combination is Co-Diovan. You have been prescribed 2 tablets, so please take them as directed by your doctor. This combination medication contains Valsartan 160mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. Taking your medication regularly and managing stress through relaxation techniques can help control your blood pressure.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this pain in the middle of my chest, and when I got an ECG, it showed an abnormal Q wave in lead 3. It's the same result as a year ago when I had an ECG and then went through a TMT and an echo which both came back normal. Should I be getting another echo and TMT done now, or is it okay to hold off? Any guidance would be really helpful.
Based on your history of chest pain and abnormal q wave in lead 3 on ECG, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health. Since your previous TMT and echo were normal, it is reassuring. However, given the persistent abnormal q wave on ECG, it would be advisable to repeat the TMT and echo to ensure there have been no changes in your heart function. I recommend you to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss the need for repeating the tests.

I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat and palpitations with no specific timing. Sometimes it feels like my heart is sinking. I've had an ECG and TMT, and both came back normal. I also have hypothyroidism, and my doctor thinks it might be due to anxiety. I'm wondering if I should get any other tests to rule out heart disease. What do you think?
Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and TMT results, it is likely that your palpitations and fast heart rate are indeed related to anxiety, especially given your history of hypothyroidism. However, if you still have concerns about ruling out any underlying heart disease, you may consider getting a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for a period of time. This can help detect any irregular heartbeats that may not show up on a standard ECG. Additionally, an echocardiogram may be considered to assess the structure and function of your heart. In the meantime, managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and stress-reducing activities can also help alleviate your symptoms.
