Question 1

I've been noticing that my blood pressure machine consistently indicates an irregular heartbeat. Is this something I should be worried about? I've heard that having an irregular heartbeat can be common, but I'm not sure if that's always the case. Can you help clarify what this might mean?

Question 3

I recently recovered from COVID and it's been about 20 days since my first symptoms with all my reports coming back negative. I'm only dealing with some post-COVID weakness now. I've noticed that when I'm resting, my heartbeat is typically between 60...

Accepted Answer

Your increased heart rate while climbing stairs (145-150) and walking (125-130) after recovering from COVID-19 can be attributed to post-COVID-19 fatigue, dehydration, and reduced cardiovascular endurance, but given your recent normal ECG and TMT results, it's likely a temporary condition; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting your doctor or a cardiologist for a follow-up evaluation, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, gradually increase physical activity, and monitor your heart rate and overall health.

Question 4

I've been dealing with anxiety and it's causing my heart to have these nonstop palpitations. I've heard about Betacap TR 20 for cases like this. Do you think it's a good idea for me to take this medication? Just not sure if it's the right move for me...

Question 5

I'm really worried after reading something about the COVID vaccine increasing the risk of blood clots and heart attacks, especially for people with high hscrp levels. My husband, who's 32, recently had an hsCRP test, and it came out to 1.7mgL. His ch...

Accepted Answer

Elevated hs-CRP levels can indeed be a risk factor for blood clots and heart attacks. However, the decision to start taking ecosprin (aspirin) as a preventive measure should be made after consulting with a healthcare professional. In your husband's case, with an hs-CRP level of 1.7mgL, it is not considered very high. The current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin therapy for primary prevention in individuals with low to moderate cardiovascular risk. It is important to consider the overall cardiovascular risk profile of your husband, including factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action regarding aspirin therapy before and after covid vaccination.

Question 6

I've been having chest pains and I got a CT angio which showed myocardial bridging of my proximal LAD at 1.8 cm. My cardiologist said everythings fine and not to worry, but I still get regular chest pains, especially when walking or climbing stairs. ...

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and the presence of myocardial bridging in your proximal LAD, it is important to address the ongoing chest pain you are experiencing. Since your cardiologist has already reviewed your case and deemed it not concerning, you may benefit from medication to help alleviate your symptoms. I recommend starting a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, and gradually increasing as needed under the guidance of your doctor. Additionally, you can also consider taking a nitrate medication like Isosorbide Mononitrate (Imdur) to help with chest pain relief during physical activity. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
