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.

View allMy father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?
Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals.

I'm really worried because her entire body is getting swollen and the doctor mentioned something about heart enlargement with fluid buildup. She seems to only stay healthy and not get swollen if she consistently takes her medication and injections to remove the fluid. What's this condition called, how serious is it, and what can be done to help her live a healthier, longer life? I'd really appreciate any advice.
It sounds like your loved one is experiencing symptoms of congestive heart failure, which is a serious condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup in the body. To manage this condition and improve her health and longevity, she will need to take medications such as Furosemide (Lasix) to help remove excess fluid from the body. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) or Carvedilol (Coreg) may be prescribed to help the heart function better and reduce symptoms. It is important for her to follow a low-sodium diet, monitor her fluid intake, and regularly follow up with her healthcare provider for proper management of her condition.

Why do heart attacks happen at night?
Researchers found that at around 6:30 a.m. the circadian system sends out an increased amount of PAI-1 cells which blocks blood clots from breaking down. The more PAI-1 cells in the blood, the higher the risk for a blood clot that leads to a heart attack
