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 22 and I've been dealing with some blood pressure issues. I was on propranolol, but it didn't seem to help much, so my doctor switched me to telmisartan and metoprolol. I'm a bit concerned about switching meds so quicklycan stopping one and starting another suddenly cause problems? Also, since I'm pretty young, are these medications going to have any negative effects on me? I think my BP might be more of a "white coat" issue than a constant problem. What do you think?

Yes you can take it ,follow your doctors advice

I'm trying to figure out the difference between Telma and Covamlo. Is Covamlo just Telma with something else added, or is it a completely different medication? I'm a bit confused about whether they contain the same things. Can you help clarify this for me?

Telma and Covamlo are both medications used to treat hypertension, but they contain different active ingredients. Telma contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, while Covamlo contains a combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan. So, Covamlo does have Telma salt (Telmisartan) along with Amlodipine. The combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan in Covamlo helps in better control of blood pressure compared to Telma alone.

I'm curious if it's normal for my heart to race and beat really hard, almost like it's going to jump out of my chest, whenever I'm anxious or getting up from sleeping. It feels pretty intense and I'm also quite thin. I've done an ECG, an echo, and had blood tests, and everything came back normal. Is this something I should be worried about?

Experiencing a racing heart and strong heartbeats when anxious or when standing up quickly can be related to anxiety and a condition called orthostatic hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing. Given that your ECG, echo, and blood tests are normal, it's less likely to be a severe cardiac issue. Managing anxiety through techniques like deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or therapy can help. Additionally, when standing up, try to do it slowly to give your body time to adjust. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss additional strategies for managing your symptoms.
