I've been having chest pain and got a 2D echo, ECG, blood work, and an X-ray done. The doctor said everything looks normal, but I noticed some black marks on the left side of the diaphragm in the X-ray. Could you tell me what these might be? I'm a bit concerned.

View allI'm concerned because my blood pressure is 140, and I've been experiencing strange sensations in my heart. Sometimes it's like palpitations, and other times it feels as if my heart might stop beating. I've already done an ECG, and it came back normal, so my doctor prescribed me Met XL 25 for my BP. Does a normal ECG mean my heart is okay? Should I be worried about these symptoms, or are they serious? What should I do next?
Your BP is 140 and you are experiencing a weird feeling in your heart, sometimes palpitations, and sometimes feeling like your heart will stop beating. You have done an ECG which came out normal. Your doctor has prescribed Met XL 25 for your BP. ECG being normal indicates that your heart is functioning normally. However, your symptoms of palpitations and strange feelings in the heart should not be ignored. Considering your symptoms and BP level, it is important to follow up with your doctor. In addition to Met XL 25 for BP, you can also take a beta-blocker like Atenolol 25mg to help with palpitations and irregular heartbeats. It is important to monitor your BP regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress to improve your heart health.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's in the paramilitary and has been dealing with blood pressure issues for a while. He's been taking LOSAR H tablets every day, like for years. But now, his blood pressure seems to be dropping and has recently dipped below 110. He's stationed in a very high-risk area and has to do intense physical work. I'm really concerned. What should we do about this situation?
It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly, especially since it has dropped below 110. In this situation, it is advisable to consult with a doctor to adjust the dosage of LOSAR H or consider switching to a different medication. Since he is in a high-stress environment and engaged in intensive physical work, it is crucial to ensure that his blood pressure remains within a safe range to prevent any complications. I recommend seeking medical advice promptly to address this issue and make necessary adjustments to his medication.

Lately, Ive been noticing that every time I stand up or go for a walk, my heart starts racing to around 130bpm, and it doesnt calm down until I sit or lie down. My chest hurts, and my legs feel weak and shaky during these times too. I did have an iron deficiency last year, but it never made me feel like this, and even though it's still slightly low, my recent results show it's getting better. Ive had an ECG done, and that seemed fine, so I'm wondering if I should be seeing a cardiologist. Could this be something serious?
Yes, given your symptoms of a racing heart rate when standing or walking, chest pain, and weakness in your legs, it would be prudent to visit a cardiologist. These symptoms may indicate a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) or other cardiovascular issues that require further evaluation. Even though your ECG is fine and your iron levels are improving, it is essential to rule out any underlying heart conditions or dysautonomia. A cardiologist can perform additional tests, such as a Holter monitor, echocardiogram, or tilt table test, to better understand the cause of your symptoms and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
