Q: I'm a bit concerned because I wasn't able to go through with the TMT test since my pulse rate was high at 120. However, my echocardiogram came back normal. Should I be worried about this? Could my anxiety be causing my pulse to be so high?

A high pulse rate of 120 beats per minute can be due to various reasons, including anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Since your echo is normal, it is reassuring regarding your heart function. To address the high pulse rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also help in reducing anxiety-related high pulse rates.

Question 1

I've been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years and I've also got high cholesterol. I used to take Tonact TG, which really helped me a lot, but my doctor recently switched me to Ecosprin AV 75. My TMT came back positive, but all my other heart tests, including the CT coronary, were normal. I'm wondering if I can take Tonact TG and Ecosprin 75 separately instead of just using Ecosprin AV 75? I noticed that with Tonact TG, my LDL stays around 70 mgdL and it also boosts my HDL levels more than just taking atorvastatin. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

Hello, as your diastolic blood pressure has been consistently between 90 to 100 mmHg for several months, it is recommended to start medication to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. You can start taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your diastolic blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Question 4

I'm really worried about my mom. She had a CABG x 2 about three months ago and now she's started feeling numb all over her chest and body for about an hour. We rushed her to the hospital and they did a High Sensitive Troponin I test. The report showe...

Accepted Answer

"Based on the information provided, with a Troponin I level of 2.9ngL and the normal range being <19 ngL, it is unlikely that she had another heart attack. However, considering her history of CABG x 2 and the symptoms of numbness in her chest and whole body, it is important to monitor her closely. To address the numbness and assess her risk, she may benefit from medications like Aspirin 81mg daily and Clopidogrel 75mg daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of further cardiac events. Additionally, she should follow up with her cardiologist for further evaluation and management."
