Sure, here's a rephrased version of the user's query: I've been having chest pains off and on for a couple of days and got an ECG done. Here's what the results say: Vent rate is 73 bpm, PR interval is 114 ms, QRS duration is 94 ms, QTQTc is 388427 ms, and the PRT axes are 64, 52, and 25. I'm really not sure if these numbers are normal. Should I be taking any special precautions, especially since the pain keeps showing up in different parts of my body at different times?

View allI'm going through my echo report and have a few questions. It mentions normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormality, which sounds good, but I'm not quite sure what all that means. Should I be concerned about anything specific? It also says theres no vegetation or LV clot, which is a relief, but could you explain what "mild TR with mild PAH" means? And is a fast heart rate during the test something to be worried about? My EF is 60%, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not. Any insights would be appreciated!
Based on the Echo Report, everything seems to be within normal limits except for the mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). For mild TR and mild PAH, you can take Tablet Sildenafil 20mg once daily to help with the pulmonary hypertension. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about what happened to me a few days ago. My heart started racing, and it felt like there was some relief when I passed gas, but the fast heartbeat didn't totally go away. I ended up in the hospital and they had to give me shock treatment for my heart rate. That helped, but my blood pressure is still pretty high at 170120, even though it was normal just a week earlier. The doctor prescribed Ixarola 20 mg and cordarone tablets for 15 days. Can someone help me understand what caused this sudden change? I'm also looking for advice on any lifestyle changes or diet adjustments I should make to get my blood pressure down. Any suggestions?
It sounds like you experienced a rapid heart rate episode that required medical intervention to restore normal heart rhythm. The high blood pressure you are currently experiencing may be related to this episode. Ixarola 20 mg is a medication that helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Cordarone is a medication that helps regulate heart rhythm. To help manage your blood pressure and overall heart health, here are some lifestyle changes you can consider: - Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your intake of sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars. - Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. - Maintain a healthy weight and aim to lose weight if you are overweight. - Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider as recommended. These lifestyle changes, along with your prescribed medications, can help improve your blood pressure and overall heart health.

What does high blood pressure headache feel like?
According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness. During this episode, headache can occur which is usually on both sides, pulsating type and increases with activity.
