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.

I'm really worried about whether cardiophobia could actually lead to a heart attack. I've been dealing with this fear since last year. I did a TMT test back then, and everything came back normal, but I'm still having chest pain and feeling really fatigued. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?
"Cardiophobia, which is the fear of heart disease, can cause symptoms such as chest pain and fatigue due to anxiety and stress. It is important to manage your anxiety to alleviate these symptoms. In your case, since you have already done a TMT test last year which was normal, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart attack. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and management plan. In the meantime, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam at a low dose of 0.5mg to help with your anxiety symptoms."

I'm a bit confused about something in my recent medical results. My ECHO came back showing normal pulmonary arteries, but I've been told I might have mild PHT. How is it possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension if the echo indicates the arteries are fine? What should I make of this?
Yes, it is possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) even when the ECHO shows that the pulmonary arteries are normal. In such cases, treatment may involve medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. The dosage and duration of treatment would depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.
