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 allI'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. It mentioned "Sinus rhythm and ST Elevation probable normal early repolarization pattern." Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried about it?
A sinus rhythm on an ECG indicates that the heart is beating normally. ST elevation with probable normal early repolarization pattern can be a normal variant in some individuals, especially young, healthy individuals. However, it can also be seen in conditions like pericarditis or myocardial infarction. Since I don't have the complete picture of your health and medical history, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

I've been tracking my pulse rate and it usually falls between 44 to 60 beats per minute. Sometimes I experience a bit of chest pain but my doctor mentioned it's just gas. My blood pressure ranges between 120 to 140 over 80 to 90. Should I be worried about these pulse rates or the chest pain?
Your pulse rate of 44 to 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia, which is a heart rate that is slower than normal. Since you are also experiencing chest pain, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg once a day to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Also, you can take Metoprolol 25mg once a day to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing this weird issue where my heart starts to palpitate really fast, and every time I take a breath, it feels like I can actually feel the blood pumping. Then, out of nowhere, I'll get a nosebleed. When this happens, I'm scared to do anything physically demanding because I'm worried the bleeding might get worse. Could you let me know which kind of doctor I should see about this?
