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.

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.

I'm wondering if I should consider getting an angiography. This morning I had a TMT, and back in 2012, I had a stent surgery because of a blockage. I have all the screenshots of my TMT report. What do you think?

Based on your history of stent surgery in 2012 and the recent TMT conducted in the morning, it is important to assess the current status of your coronary arteries to determine if there is any blockage or narrowing that may require intervention. Angiography is a common procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries and identify any blockages. Considering your history and the recent TMT results, it would be advisable to proceed with angiography to get a clearer picture of the condition of your coronary arteries. This will help in determining the appropriate course of action, whether it involves medical management, further interventions, or monitoring. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and to schedule the angiography procedure. It is important to follow up on any recommendations based on the results of the angiography to ensure optimal management of your cardiac health.

I'm 24 and I've been noticing my heart rate is usually under 60 beats a minute. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? I weigh 120kg, and I'm 5'10". Also, I was diagnosed with GERD a few weeks back and have been on medication for it. Is it okay for my resting heart rate to be in the 50s?

A resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is known as bradycardia. In your case, with a history of GERD and being on medication, it is important to consider the overall clinical picture. However, in general, a heart rate in the 50s can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Given your weight and height, it would be advisable to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. It is important to ensure that your GERD medication is not causing any adverse effects on your heart rate.
