I've been a smoker and drank alcohol almost every day for the past decade, dealing with high cholesterol and triglycerides all this time. I just started medication for these issues. Recently, I had a 2D echo and TMT that both came back normal. Can I assume everything's okay with my coronary arteries if both tests look good, especially now that I've quit smoking and drinking?

Based on your recent normal 2D echo and TMT results, it is a positive indication that there may not be significant coronary artery disease present. However, it is important to continue monitoring your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle without smoking and alcohol consumption. Additionally, regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure your cardiovascular health remains optimal.

View allI'm experiencing a fast heart rate between 130-150 beats per minute, even though I'm not feeling anxious or tense. I recently had a 2D echo, and it came back normal. Could you let me know what medicine I could take to manage this when my heart rate spikes, and what might be causing it?
When your heart rate increases significantly despite not feeling anxious or tense, it could be due to a condition called tachycardia. In such cases, you can use a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in this case would be 25-50mg orally, which can help slow down your heart rate and reduce the workload on your heart. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I've been having these episodes where my heart rate goes all over the place, and I keep feeling chest pain and discomfort throughout the day. I have my Holter monitor report with me, and I'm not really sure what it means. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
Fluctuating heart rate and recurrent chest pain can be concerning, and reviewing your Holter monitor report with a healthcare provider is essential for proper diagnosis. The Holter monitor will provide detailed information about your heart's activity over 24-48 hours, capturing any irregularities or arrhythmias that might explain your symptoms. If the Holter report shows any abnormalities, your doctor may recommend further evaluation or treatment. If the report is normal, your symptoms might be related to other conditions such as anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, or musculoskeletal problems. Please ensure you discuss the Holter report findings with your cardiologist to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on your specific condition.
