What does it mean if my ECG report says I have lateral wall ischemia? Should I be worried about how severe this is? I'd really like to understand what this implies for my heart health.

I'm kind of worried because all of a sudden my heart started racing, and when I went to the hospital, they checked my blood pressure and gave me these BP tablets. I've been taking them, but I'm wondering if I should keep taking them or if it's okay to stop. What should I do?

Sudden increase in heart rate can be concerning. It's important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the medication. If you were given medication for high blood pressure, it's important to continue taking it as prescribed. Stopping the medication abruptly can be harmful. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've been experiencing some chest pressure and tightness for just a couple of seconds. I managed to take an ECG from a single lead and I'm just wondering if it looks normal to you. I had a treadmill test, echo, and ECG all last week and everything seemed fine. Should I be considering any other tests?

based on your description, it is important to consider the context of your symptoms and previous tests. Since you have a history of chest pressure and have already undergone a TMT, Echo, and ECG which were normal, it is reassuring. However, a single-lead ECG may not provide a comprehensive assessment. It would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Tab. Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia since 2012 and it's been pretty frustrating. I've done all sorts of tests and nothing seems to be working out. It's especially annoying with the tachycardia because whenever I start on medication, it works for a bit, then just stops being effective after a while. Right now, I'm taking a mix of meds including metoprolol 150mg (50mg three times a day), ntp 25mg, prazosin 5mg, diltiazem 90 Sr, cilnidipine 10mg, and losartan 50mg among others. This whole situation is starting to feel a bit hopeless. I'm curious if there's anything else I should be trying, or if there's some reason these meds lose effectiveness so quickly. Any insight you could give would be really appreciated.
