I've been having sweating and breathlessness when going up the stairs, and there's some numbness in my palm along with a light pain in my chest. I talked to a cardiologist who's pretty experienced, and after checking out my echo report, they've suggested I get an angiography. I'm really unsure about whether I should go through with it. Could you give me some advice on this? I would really appreciate a quick response.

Based on your symptoms and the recommendation of your cardiologist, undergoing angiography would be important to assess the condition of your heart vessels. This procedure can provide detailed information about any blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying your heart. It will help in determining the best course of treatment for your condition. Please follow your cardiologist's advice and proceed with the angiography as recommended.

View allCan I still have a heart rate of 125 and it be normal? I just recovered from being ill for two months and I'm feeling really weak. Should I be concerned about this or is it just part of my recovery?
A heart rate of 125 beats per minute can be considered high, especially at rest. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if it persists at this level, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-100mg to help lower your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and gradually increase your activity level as you continue to recover from your illness.

I'm having these heart palpitations in my chest, left arm, and left leg for months now. They get worse at night and right after I wake up. Plus, I often feel really tired and out of breath. It's so frustrating and starting to affect my mood. Do you think this is something to do with my heart, or could it be linked to anxiety and depression?
It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. However, based on your symptoms of heart palpitations, tiredness, breathlessness, and irritability, it is possible that you may be experiencing a cardiac issue. It is recommended to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram) done to evaluate your heart's electrical activity. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help with the heart palpitations. Additionally, if anxiety and depression are contributing to your symptoms, you can consider taking Sertraline (brand name: Zoloft) 50mg once daily to help manage these conditions.
