Question 1

I've been noticing that when I exercise at the gym, my heart starts beating really fast, almost like it's racing. It seems to take a bit longer than I'd like for everything to calm down afterward. I had some blood work done, and everything came back normal, including my cholesterol levels. My cardiologist has mentioned that everything seems okay, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. What should I do about this?

Accepted Answer

Palpitations during exercise can be concerning, even if your cardiologist has given you the all-clear. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before exercising to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine before working out. If the palpitations persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

Question 2

I've been noticing that my heart is beating really fast and sometimes skips a beat, and it started about three weeks ago. I just turned 18 and have been masturbating a lot lately; I'm wondering if that's connected. I had an ECG done, and the doctor said my heart is fine, but it doesnt feel normal to me. My heart's never done this before. What steps can I take to get my heart rate back to normal?

Question 3

I'm really worried about my father. He's had high blood pressure for about 20 days now. He's already a BP patient, but lately, his pressure is shooting up to around 16090. He was on promolate xl 25 before and now he's been switched to telvas 40 by the doctor. It doesn't seem to be helping control his blood pressure, though. Can you suggest anything that might help us manage this better?

Accepted Answer

It seems like your father's blood pressure is not well controlled with Telvas 40. In this case, the doctor may consider adding or adjusting the dosage of another medication. One common combination for high blood pressure is Telvas 40 (Telmisartan 40mg) along with Amlodipine (usually 5mg to 10mg). Amlodipine helps to further lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. However, the final decision on the medication and dosage should be made by your father's treating physician after a thorough evaluation. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and follow up with his doctor for further management.

I'm trying to understand what the results from my ECG mean. It shows an incomplete right bundle branch block, but my echocardiogram came back normal. Do I need to be worried about anything, or is there something specific I should be doing next?
