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'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and shoulder when I walk. My TMT was negative, and everything else like the Echo and ECG came back normal. I don't have a history of illness, nor do I smoke or drink. Is there something I should be worried about?
Left side chest pain and left shoulder pain on walking without any history of illness, smoking, or drinking could be due to musculoskeletal issues or even anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent any potential cardiac events. Additionally, you can take acetaminophen (500mg) for pain relief as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended.

I'm a bit concerned about my latest ECG results, specifically the increased rs ratio in V1. I read that it might suggest an early transition or even a posterior infarct. Could this be related to my hypothyroidism and hypertension? Should I consider getting an echo done to figure this out? I'm really worried and would love some advice.
Yes get a 2D echo done and visit Cardiologist for appropriate management

I'm a 40-year-old guy and I've been taking tablets since 2015. Originally, I was on Stamlo 5, but recently my blood pressure was consistently high around 140110 to 140100, even with the Stamlo 5. The doctor switched my medication to Envas 10 and Hydrazide 12.5, and now my blood pressure is under control. I'm just a bit worried about any side effects these might have. Could you give me some advice?
Envas 10 is a brand name for Enalapril, which is an ACE inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Hydrazide 12.5 is a combination medication containing Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that helps your body get rid of extra salt and water to lower blood pressure. Some common side effects of Enalapril include dizziness, cough, and high potassium levels. Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. It's important to monitor for any side effects and report them to your doctor. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your medication as needed.
