I'm really worried about a heartbeat of 240 beats per minute. Is this life-threatening? Can it lead to heart failure? Is there a way to treat it, or what should I do next?

Is a heart rate of 108 bpm something I should be worried about? I'm seeing something called sinus tachycardia in my report, and I'm not sure if it's dangerous or just something common. Could you clarify this for me?

A heart rate of 108 beats per minute (bpm) falls within the range of sinus tachycardia, which means that the heart is beating faster than normal. Sinus tachycardia can be a common response to various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine, or physical activity. However, if it persists or is associated with symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, it may require further evaluation. In cases of persistent or symptomatic sinus tachycardia, treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate and reduce symptoms. The typical dosage of Metoprolol for sinus tachycardia is 25-100mg twice daily, but the exact dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on individual factors.

I'm a bit worried because I've been taking Rosukem A1075 after getting diagnosed with T2DM in September 2018. The cardiac doctor I visited then suggested this medication for a normal ECG and echo. But I've just got my annual health checkup reports, and both the ECG and TMT turned out fine. Now I'm unsure if I should keep taking this tablet. My diabetologist says I should continue with Rosuvas 5. Could you help me figure out what to do?

Since you were advised Rosukem A1075 by the cardiologist, it is important to follow their recommendation for your heart health. Rosukem A1075 contains Rosuvastatin 10mg and Aspirin 75mg, which helps in managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. As for your diabetologist's advice to continue Rosuvas 5, it contains Rosuvastatin 5mg which also helps in lowering cholesterol. It is important to follow both specialists' advice for optimal management of your conditions. So, you can continue taking Rosukem A1075 as advised by the cardiologist and Rosuvas 5 as advised by the diabetologist for your overall health."
