I've been noticing that when I exercise at the gym, my heart starts beating really fast, almost like it's racing. It seems to take a bit longer than I'd like for everything to calm down afterward. I had some blood work done, and everything came back normal, including my cholesterol levels. My cardiologist has mentioned that everything seems okay, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Palpitations during exercise can be concerning, even if your cardiologist has given you the all-clear. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before exercising to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine before working out. If the palpitations persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

View allIs there any way to reverse LVDD grade 2 with an MV EA ratio of 1.03 and mild LVH? What kind of steps or treatments could help improve this condition?
To help reverse left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) grade 2 and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), it is important to focus on lifestyle modifications and medications as per your doctor's recommendation. Some common approaches include: - ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg once daily - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily - Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. These interventions can help improve heart function and potentially reverse LVDD and LVH. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm really worried about my dad's blood pressure. It was high at 160110 before, but after he started taking Metocard XL 25 and Triolmesar 20 for about a month, it's dropped to 8772, measured with a digital Omron monitor. Do you think he should keep taking his current medication or adjust the dose? Also, he's diabetic and taking Glyciphage SR 500 and Tenlimac 20. Plus, he's being treated for prostate issues with Maxvoid 8. Could all these medications be affecting his blood pressure too much? What would be the best course of action?
Given the significant drop in blood pressure from 160110 to 8772, it is important to reassess the medication regimen. In this case, it is advisable to consult with your father's healthcare provider to adjust the dosage or possibly consider discontinuing one of the antihypertensive medications. Lowering the dose of Metocard XL 25 or Triolmesar 20 may be necessary to prevent hypotension, especially considering his current blood pressure readings. Regular monitoring and coordination with his healthcare provider are essential to ensure optimal management of his hypertension while taking into account his diabetes and prostate issues.

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 9354 is considered low? I've been feeling some weakness and dizziness at times, and I'm not sure if it's related. How would one diagnose low blood pressure?
