I've been feeling really anxious and out of breath for the past month. This breathlessness sticks with me all day and seems to come and go unpredictably. My ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Could this be causing my anxiety and breathing issues? I'm really worried about what this means and could use some guidance.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your symptoms are persistent or worsening, or if you experience severe breathlessness, chest pain, or dizziness, please seek immediate medical attention, as these could be signs of a more serious underlying condition that needs to be addressed.
In conclusion, while your sinus tachycardia may be related to anxiety and stress, its crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes and to manage your symptoms effectively.

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last month, consistently around 170110, even after taking my medication. I'm really concerned about why it's not coming down and what I should do next. Could there be something else going on that I need to check?
It seems like your current medication may not be effectively controlling your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication. In addition to your current treatment, adding a medication like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) can help lower your blood pressure. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure levels.

I've been noticing something strangewhen I'm lying in bed, I can actually feel my heartbeat, and while my heart rate seems normal, my body feels like it's shaking a bit with each beat. I got my echocardiogram results, and it shows a myxomatous mitral valve with mild MR, with measurements of LV ID at 5.7 cm and 3.8 cm, IVSd at 0.8 cm, LVPWd at 0.8 cm, and an EF of 60%. The doctor mentioned my left ventricle is slightly enlarged but not dangerous. But here's the thingwhen I stand up quickly from lying down, I get really dizzy. Could you explain what might be going on and what I should do about it?
When you suddenly stand from a lying position and feel dizzy, it could be due to a drop in blood pressure known as orthostatic hypotension. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly transitioning from lying to standing positions. Additionally, you may benefit from medications such as Fludrocortisone to help increase blood volume and improve blood pressure regulation. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action based on your individual health needs.

I'm 34 years old and during my routine check-up, the TMT report came back positive. But according to the echo, there's no blockage. My blood pressure before the TMT was 10060. The report also mentioned hypochromic anemia. Can you help me understand what all this means and what I should do next?
"Based on your TMT report showing a positive result and the presence of hypochromic anemia, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can start taking a daily low dose of aspirin to help prevent blood clots. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications such as atorvastatin to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is also important to address the hypochromic anemia by taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg daily to help increase your red blood cell count. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive treatment plan."
