I've been wearing a Holter monitor for three days because I've been having these palpitations. I got the report back and it mentions something about arrhythmia. Is this something I should be worried about or is it considered normal?

Accepted Answer

Hi, wearing a Holter monitor for three days is a common way to monitor heart activity for palpitations. Arrhythmias can be detected in such monitoring, and it is important to review the specific type and frequency of arrhythmias mentioned in your report. Depending on the type of arrhythmia detected, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mgday) to help manage the palpitations and regulate your heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss the findings of the report and any recommended treatment options.

Question 4

I've been having a pounding heart and sometimes feel dizzy for about a week now. It even happens when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could be due to a condition called palpitations, which can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, it is important to reduce your caffeine intake and practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

Question 5

I'm 32 and just got my TMT test results back. It mentions VPC during exercise and after, and a positive chronotropic response. There's also a 1mm downsloping ST depression at peak exercise but it's normal at 3 min recovery. Should I be worried about ...

Accepted Answer

TMT report suggests a negative TMT with VPC seen during exercise and at recovery of the test, along with a positive chronotropic response. The 1mm downsloping ST depression at the peak of exercise, which normalizes at 3 minutes of recovery, is also noted. Based on this report, there is no significant worrying problem identified. However, considering the findings, it would be advisable to start medication to manage the VPC and ST depression. You can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce the occurrence of VPCs. Additionally, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential clot formation due to the ST depression observed during exercise. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
