I'm really concerned about my husband's heart; his heartbeat is always too fast. He says it's been like this since he was a child. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hi, if your husband's heart rate is consistently fast, it is important to have him evaluated by a doctor to determine the underlying cause. One common condition that can cause a fast heart rate is supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) can be prescribed to help control the heart rate. However, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

View allI've had two stents placed and been on heart and BP meds for about a year now. After surgery, my dietitian said to avoid juices and dry fruits and limit myself to one fruit a day. Now that it's been a while, I'm wondering what kind of diet I should be following can I relax these restrictions or should I stick to them? What's safe for someone like me?
Limit the amount of saturated fat you eat. It is not just about the total fat content of the diet, but also the type of fat in the diet. Try to avoid eating foods that are high in saturated fat. Foods that are high in saturated fat include meat pies, sausages, butter, cream, hard cheese, cakes, biscuits and foods that contain coconut or palm oil. Eating foods that are high in unsaturated fat can help to reduce your cholesterol level. Foods high in unsaturated fat include oily fish (such as herring, mackerel, sardine, salmon), avocados, nuts and seeds, sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil. Reduce you salt intake. Many foods contain hidden salt. Lowering your salt intake can reduce your risk of another MI and also other cardiovascular diseases

I'm feeling a heaviness in my chest that seems to come from where the heart is, but it's only happening in the winter. During the summer, I don't experience this at all. Is it something normal or could it be a heart-related issue?
This could be due to a condition known as stable angina, where chest discomfort or pain occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood flow, often triggered by cold weather. To alleviate symptoms, you can take a medication like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
