I'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my ECG and chest X-ray both came back normal, but my blood pressure is slightly high. I've been having trouble breathing at night when I'm lying down. Could this be related to stress or anxiety?

I've been monitoring my heart rate for the past year, and it's consistently around 110 beats per minute every day. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I consider visiting a doctor to get it checked out?
A heart rate of 110 beats per minute may be considered high, especially if it is consistently elevated. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your heart rate by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises. If the high heart rate persists, a doctor may prescribe medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.

I'm getting these weird feelings where it seems like my heart is struggling to beat at times. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I get these intense palpitations that eventually settle down, but it's really unsettling. Another thing I've noticed is that just when I'm about to burp, the palpitations get much stronger and faster, which honestly freaks me out a bit. Any idea what might be happening?
These symptoms could be related to acid reflux causing irritation of the esophagus, which in turn can trigger palpitations. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums (500mg) or Maalox (5ml) to help with the acid reflux. Additionally, you can try avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and alcohol. If the symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
