I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

View allI'm really confused and a bit worried. I never had any blood pressure issues before, but two days ago, out of nowhere, my nose started bleeding at night. When I got my blood pressure checked at the hospital, it was 19080, which seems pretty high. The doctor prescribed me Amlodipine and Losartan, and now it's down to 12783. Just wondering, could these meds have any side effects? Any idea why my blood pressure suddenly spiked like that?
Amlodipine and losartan are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels to improve blood flow, while losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels. The common side effects of amlodipine include swelling in the ankles or feet, dizziness, and flushing. Losartan may cause dizziness, tiredness, or low blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to suddenly spike, and there can be various reasons for it. It's good that you sought medical attention promptly. If you have any concerns about the medications or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about how risky it is to take a small amount of MDMA if I have right bundle branch block. I've used MDMA a lot before but just learned about my RBBB. Can you give me some advice on that?
Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) typically indicates a delay in the electrical conduction system of the heart but may not cause symptoms or require treatment in many cases. However, using substances like MDMA can pose significant cardiovascular risks, including increased heart rate, blood pressure, and potential arrhythmias, which can be particularly concerning for individuals with underlying heart conditions like RBBB. Combining MDMA with RBBB could exacerbate the risk of serious heart-related complications. It is crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider to understand the specific risks based on your individual health status.
