My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

View allI've been noticing that every time I check my pulse rate, it's always above 100, sometimes even hitting 95 to 105. I'm worried about what could be causing this consistently high pulse rate. Can you help me understand the possible reasons behind it?
High pulse rate, also known as tachycardia, can be caused by various factors. Some common reasons for a high pulse rate in the range of 95-105 beats per minute include physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid disorders, and certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate at different times of the day and in different situations to see if there are any patterns or triggers. If your pulse rate consistently remains above 100 beats per minute, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, staying hydrated, and avoiding stimulants to see if there is any improvement in your pulse rate.

I'm really worried because I'm 26 and I've been having some heart pain, shortness of breath, and light dizziness. My lipid profile is normal, but my 2D Echo showed a Left ventricle size of 4.0 x 3.0 cm, IVSD 0.8 cm, LVPW 0.8 cm, EF 47, and FS 23. Everything else seemed normal. Is this something I should be really concerned about? Is it fixable, and can I get back to my normal life? I'm feeling scared and unsure about what steps to take.
Based on your symptoms and the findings from your 2D Echo, it is important to further evaluate your condition. The slight heart pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness could be indicative of a cardiac issue. With an EF of 47% and FS of 23%, there may be some impairment in your heart's pumping function. To address this, you may benefit from medication to improve your heart function and symptoms. I recommend starting with a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50 mg once daily) to help reduce your heart's workload and improve its efficiency. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Enalapril (5-10 mg once daily) can also be beneficial in improving heart function. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also crucial in improving your heart health. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes, many individuals can lead a normal life with cardiac conditions. Remember, early detection and management are key in addressing any potential heart issues. Take care and follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized care and guidance

I'm 42 and my doctor just recently told me I have high blood pressure, so I've been taking TetanH and it's helped to get it under control. I'm thinking about trying intermittent fasting because I've heard it might help with lowering blood pressure too. Do you think that's a good idea for me? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects from using TetanH over a long period. Can you give me some advice on this?
It's great to hear that your blood pressure is now under control with Tetan-H. Intermittent fasting can potentially help lower blood pressure, but it's essential to approach it cautiously, especially when you're on medication. Before starting any new diet regimen, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to ensure it's safe given your specific health condition. Regarding Tetan-H, which contains telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, it can have some long-term side effects like any medication. These may include dizziness, increased uric acid levels, or kidney function changes. Close monitoring by your doctor can help manage any potential side effects.
