Question 1

I've been dealing with some serious chest pain for the last five months, and along with that, I've been feeling really weak and fatigued. My stamina has dropped a lot, and I get tired super quickly. On top of that, my heart races really fast. My resting heart rate is usually around 80 to 90, but if I start walking, it shoots up to 120, and just climbing two floors slowly takes it to around 160. Is this something to worry about? I had an ECG done, and it came back normal, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any insights on this would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and heart rate response to physical activity, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may be experiencing symptoms of angina or heart failure. I recommend you start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and reduce chest pain. Additionally, you should also take a blood thinner like Aspirin (75mg) to prevent blood clots. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm really concerned about the long-term effects of beta blockers for managing hypertension. I've heard they might raise blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Can you suggest which beta blocker is the safest and has the least side effects?

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit worried and could use some advice. My cardiologist recently told me to take Ecosprin AV 7520 every evening. Meanwhile, my diabetologist has put me on Ator 10 at night along with Metsmall 500 SR and Semi Reclimet. Is it safe to be on...

Accepted Answer

There is no harm in taking both Ator 10 (Atorvastatin) and Ecosprin AV 7520 (Aspirin + Atorvastatin) together as prescribed by your cardiologist and diabetologist. Ator 10 is a brand name for Atorvastatin, which is a statin used to lower cholesterol levels, while Ecosprin AV 7520 contains Aspirin and Atorvastatin, which helps in preventing blood clots and reducing cholesterol. Just make sure to follow the prescribed dosages: Ecosprin AV 7520 daily in the evening and Ator 10 at night along with Metsmall 500 SR and Semi Reclimet.

Question 4

I've been experiencing an increased heart rate after starting Torvate 200. How long does it usually take to get back to normal? Should I be concerned or do anything specific in the meantime?

Accepted Answer

Increase in heart rate due to Torvate 200 is a known side effect of the medication. To help normalize your heart rate, you can try the following: - Reduce caffeine intake - Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation - Stay hydrated - Get regular exercise - Ensure you are getting enough sleep If your heart rate remains elevated or if you experience any concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider. The duration for your heart rate to return to normal can vary depending on individual factors, so it is important to monitor your symptoms closely.

Accepted Answer

For a healthy person without any symptoms, it is generally recommended to do a 2D Echo and ECG once every 1-2 years for routine screening. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate testing frequency.
