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 really worried because my father recently had a heart attack on June 4th, and the doctor said he needs a CT angiography. The report came back saying his right arteries are blocked by 100%, 90%, and 70%. I'm not sure what we should do next. Could you tell me what steps we should be taking and maybe give me an idea of how much a bypass surgery might cost?

Based on the CT angiography report showing significant blockages in the right arteries, the next step would be to consult with a cardiac surgeon for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The surgery involves using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. As for the approximate cost of bypass surgery, it can vary depending on the hospital, location, and specific circumstances of the surgery. On average, the cost of CABG surgery can range from $20,000 to $50,000 or more. It is recommended to consult with the hospital or healthcare provider for a more accurate estimate based on your father's condition and the chosen medical facility.

I'm 29 and just measured my blood pressure at 13863. Is this normal, or should I think about seeing a cardiologist for more checks?

A blood pressure reading of 13863 falls within the prehypertension range. It is slightly elevated, especially the systolic reading. For individuals aged 29, it is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to help lower it. If you continue to have elevated readings, you can consider taking antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Remember to also focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to improve your overall cardiovascular health.
