Ive got rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimotos. I just had an ECG at a walk-in clinic for a pre-op check-up and it showed non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement. Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried and see a cardiologist about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement on your ECG could be indicative of various conditions, including cardiac issues such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial ischemia, or structural heart disease. Given your medical history of rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimoto's, it is important to further evaluate these findings. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, it would be beneficial to monitor your blood pressure regularly and ensure that your rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's are well controlled. If any symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath occur, seek immediate medical attention.

View allI'm feeling pretty worried after getting my recent full body check-up results. The echo report showed something unusual, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Sometimes I get really anxious, and when I was getting the echo done, my heartbeat was racing at about 110 to 120 beats per minute because I was so scared. Could you take a look at my echo report and tell me what steps I should take next or if everything seems okay? The report mentions Mild MR and TR PASP at 32 mm Hg and LVEF at 65, but everything else seems normal. What should I do?
In your echo report, it mentions that you have mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with a pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of 32 mmHg. Your left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 65%, which is within the normal range. Based on the information provided, everything seems to be normal except for the mild MR and TR. Given your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing an elevated heart rate during the echo, it is important to address your anxiety. To manage anxiety and potentially reduce the impact on your heart rate, you can consider taking medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg three to four times daily. It is also advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss the findings of your echo report and to determine if any further evaluation or treatment is necessary. Regular follow-ups and monitoring may be recommended to ensure your heart health is maintained.

I was recently prescribed concor cor 2.5 for my blood pressure, which is 13090, and I have a heart rate of 113. Since I'm always on the go and sometimes end up skipping breakfast, I'm wondering if it's okay to take this medication on an empty stomach. Is that safe, or should I make sure to eat something first?
Concor Cor 2.5 is a brand name for Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. It is generally recommended to take Bisoprolol with food to help with absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you often skip breakfast, you can take your dose with a light snack or a small meal to minimize any potential stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor.

I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?
That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.
