I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI've had this chest pain for about three days now. I did an ECG and the doctor wrote 'TWNL' on it. Does that mean everything's normal? Also, I've attached my troponin T test report and need to know if it looks okay. Should I be worried about a heart problem? Can you take a look at my report, please?
The term "TWNL" in your ECG report stands for "T wave normal limit", indicating that the T wave on your ECG is within normal limits. Elevated levels of troponin T in the blood can indicate damage to the heart muscle, such as in the case of a heart attack. It is important to know the specific value of your troponin T levels to determine if they are within normal range. For chest pain lasting 3 days and concerning ECG findings, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

My doctor recommended bypass surgery but I'm unsure if it's really necessary - what are the alternatives or things I should consider before going ahead with this procedure
Before undergoing bypass surgery, consider alternatives like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (angioplasty with stenting) and Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). Discuss your concerns and explore all options with your doctor and heart care team to determine the most appropriate course of action.

I'm really anxious about my recent ECG results. They showed irregular heartbeats and sometimes sinus tachycardia. My doctor mentioned taking Nebi 2.5, but I'm unsure if it's right for me because I don't have blood pressure issues or any other major health problems. Also, I tend to overthink and have anxiety. Is this medication really going to help with my situation? I'm feeling quite torn about starting it. What do you suggest?
Nebivolol (Nebi) 2.5 mg is a beta-blocker often prescribed to manage irregular heartbeats and conditions like sinus tachycardia, and it can also help with anxiety symptoms by slowing the heart rate and reducing palpitations. Since you have anxiety and overthinking issues, Nebivolol might help alleviate these symptoms by controlling your heart rate. However, it's important to follow your doctor's advice and give the medication a try while monitoring your response to it. If you have concerns or experience side effects, discuss them with your healthcare provider. Additionally, consider incorporating anxiety management techniques such as mindfulness, therapy, or relaxation exercises.
