I've been dealing with these ectopic palpitations for the last 8 months and it's really stressing me out. I went to a general physician who said it's nothing to worry about and it's just anxiety related. I have really bad cardiophobia anxiety. He put me on ciplar la 20, which helped a bit with the palpitations but they haven't completely gone away. I did a holter and an echo screening and showed them to a cardiologist. He said it's just anxiety too, but mentioned there was concentric LVH on the echo and a single ectopic on the holter. Should I be concerned about the concentric LVH and the single ectopic beat, or is it really just anxiety like everyone's saying?
Based on your symptoms and reports, I recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 20 for the ectopic palpitations. In addition, you may benefit from an anti-anxiety medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help manage your cardiophobia anxiety. It is also important to address the concentric LVH detected in the echo report. You can start taking Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the LVH. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm worried because my homocysteine levels are really high, like around 58.9, but my blood pressure is normal and I don't have diabetes. What steps should I take or things should I consider at this point?
High homocysteine levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take a combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. I recommend taking a tablet of Fol-5 Plus once daily, which contains the appropriate combination of these vitamins to help lower homocysteine levels. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise can also help in reducing homocysteine levels.
