I'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?

View allI've noticed that my heart rate is usually somewhere between 68 to 83 bpm during the day. But for the past week, it's been up between 90 and 118 bpm, and it doesn't drop below 85 even when I'm sitting for a while. When I'm asleep, it goes from 50 to 75 bpm. I started going to the gym for cardio and strength training about a month ago, hitting it 5 days a week. Nothing's really changed with my diet or work hours. Had my ECG, ECO, and BP checked and everything seemed normal. What could be causing this increase in my heart rate? Should I be worried about it?
Based on the information provided, the increase in your heart rate could be due to the increased physical activity from your gym routine. It is common for heart rate to be elevated during and after exercise, especially if you have recently started a new workout regimen that includes both cardio and strength training. To help regulate your heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. I recommend starting with a low dose of Metoprolol 25mg once daily, and you can adjust the dosage as needed based on your heart rate response. It is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance on medication management. In addition to medication, make sure to stay hydrated, get an adequate amount of rest, and listen to your body during workouts. If you experience any concerning symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention immediately.

When is it okay to stop taking Inderal LA 20 mg? I've been on it for about a month now for anxiety and because my blood pressure was a bit high, around 14085. I've managed to get those under control, so I'm wondering if it's safe to stop the medication. What do you suggest?
Inderal LA 20 mg is a beta-blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure and anxiety. Since you have been taking it for a month and have overcome your anxiety and your blood pressure is now under control, you can consider stopping the medication. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. Your doctor may recommend tapering off the medication gradually to avoid any potential withdrawal symptoms.

Can I take Ecosprin AV75 tablets even if I don't have heart pain? I'm 33 years old and wondering how long it's safe to use this medication, like maybe taking one tablet a day for a month. Is it okay to just stop after that? Curious to hear your thoughts.
Ecosprin AV75 is a combination medication containing Aspirin and Atorvastatin. It is commonly used for heart health to prevent heart attacks and strokes. At your age of 33, if you do not have any specific heart condition or risk factors, it is not recommended to take Ecosprin AV75 as a preventive measure without consulting a doctor. If a doctor has prescribed Ecosprin AV75 for you, the duration of the treatment will depend on your individual health condition. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding how long to continue taking the medication. Typically, if it is prescribed for prevention, it may need to be taken for a longer duration than just one month. It is not advisable to stop taking Ecosprin AV75 abruptly without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation of Aspirin can have adverse effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment and any changes to your medication regimen.
