I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

View allI've been having some weird issues with my heart rate. Like, even when I'm just resting, it's going over 100, and if I take a few steps, it jumps to about 150 and stays like that for 2-3 hours. My blood pressure's kind of off too, hovering around 13080, but sometimes the bottom number goes up to 85 or so. I get tired for no reason, and theres some pain in my left arm and leg if I walk a bit. I also get headaches and find myself out of breath after exercising, though not all the time. I got an ECG done, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Could you help me figure out whats going on or suggest what I should do next?
Based on your symptoms and ECG report, it appears that you may be experiencing tachycardia (fast heart rate) and possible signs of heart disease. The elevated heart rate, fluctuating blood pressure, fatigue, left arm pain, leg pain, headache, and shortness of breath after exercise are concerning symptoms that warrant further evaluation. I recommend that you consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, you can start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, you should make lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and managing stress to improve your overall cardiovascular health. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further testing and treatment recommendations based on your specific condition.

Sometimes my heart rate goes above 115 bpm, which is making me concerned since I know the normal range is between 60 to 100 bpm. I've been using an oximeter to check my heart rate. My baby recently passed away due to a cardiac problem and was born with a heart defect. Could this be related to my heart rate issues? Should I consider getting any tests done to check for potential issues?
A heart rate of 115bpm or higher is considered elevated. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or physical activity. It is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult a doctor if you have persistent high heart rates. Given your family history of a baby with a heart defect, it may be a good idea to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. Tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test may be recommended to assess your heart health and rule out any underlying conditions. It's important to address any concerns about your heart health, especially given your family history.

I'm just curious about some things regarding my health. I had a CT angio three years ago and it came back normal. Im wondering, how long are these results usually considered valid or acceptable? Also, Ive been on Lodoz 2.5 for about three months now. Before I started the medication, my blood pressure was around 120 to 130, and it's still in that range after taking the medicine. However, I've noticed my heart rate is now between 55 and 65. Is that normal, or should I be thinking about stopping the meds? By the way, I'm 5'7" and weigh 82 kg. Any advice on this would really help!
A normal CT angiography from three years ago is generally considered reliable, but its crucial to continue regular check-ups, especially if you have ongoing symptoms or risk factors for heart disease. Lodoz (which contains bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide) is prescribed to manage blood pressure and heart rate. Your current blood pressure of 120-130 mmHg and heart rate of 55-65 bpm are within reasonable ranges, especially if you are asymptomatic. Do not stop your medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as they can assess your overall health, review your medication needs, and decide on the best course of action. They might also suggest lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management, to further support your heart health.
