Visit your Physician for appropriate management

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about my recent TMT report. It came back as mildly positive for provocable ischemia. I'm currently taking atenolol 50mg and atorvastatin 10mg. What does this mean for my heart health, and should I be concerned or is there more I need to do?

Accepted Answer

A TMT report indicating mildly positive provokable ischemia suggests potential reduced blood flow to the heart during exertion, indicating coronary artery disease. Given that you are taking Atenolol 50 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg, it is crucial to review these findings with your cardiologist. They may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as a coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your condition. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed, and adhere to lifestyle modifications like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise within advised limits, and stress management. If you experience any worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've been having heart palpitations for at least 3 hours. Can anxiety really cause them to go on for so long? And is it possible that someone could die from continuous heart palpitations like this?

Accepted Answer

Continuous heart palpitations due to anxiety can be distressing, but it is unlikely to directly cause death. However, prolonged episodes of palpitations can lead to complications such as fainting or worsening anxiety symptoms. It is important to address the underlying anxiety to help reduce the frequency and intensity of palpitations. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control the heart rate and reduce palpitations. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
