I've been dealing with a super fast heartbeat whenever I lie down in bed for the last 56 days. It's weird because I don't feel any pain or like my chest is congested, but I do feel a lot of anxiety. I'm 24, my height is 5'9", and I weigh about 80kgs. Whenever I'm walking or sitting, my heartbeat seems normal; it's just when I'm laying down that it speeds up. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it something serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called orthostatic intolerance, where your heart rate increases when you change positions, such as lying down. This can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, anemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. However, it's important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming electrolytes. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice promptly.

View allI'm really concerned about my wife. She saw an eye surgeon for her cataract surgery, and he suggested she get an ECG done first. After looking at the ECG results, he recommended an ECHO test. The results came back mostly normal, with no regional wall motion abnormality and normal systolic function at 65%. But it did show mild pulmonary arterial hypertension with an RVSP of 35 mmHg. I'm not sure what this means or if we should be worried. Does she need treatment for this? Could you help us understand the situation a bit better?

I'm really curious about something regarding a heart failure patient who has COPD, severe LV dysfunction, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and hyponatremia. Why would Montair LC be prescribed in this case? I've heard it being used for respiratory conditions, but I'm not sure how it fits into the treatment for someone with such a complex medical history. Could you help me understand?
Montair LC is given to heart failure patients with COPD, severe LV dysfunction, hypothyroidism, HTN, and hyponatremia to help manage their asthma symptoms. Montair LC is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast helps in reducing inflammation in the airways, which can be beneficial for patients with COPD and asthma. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that can help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching caused by allergies. The dosage of Montair LC can vary depending on the patient's condition, so it is important to follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider.

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?
Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...
