I'm a 34-year-old woman and recently got some abnormal test results back, and I'm really anxious about what they could mean. My doctor ordered these tests because I've been having dizziness and feeling light-headed a lot. My blood work from six months ago was all normal and I havent had any infections recently. I've never had any heart issues before, so I'm not sure what these numbers could indicate. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

cardiologist opinion.

I've been noticing that when I exercise at the gym, my heart starts beating really fast, almost like it's racing. It seems to take a bit longer than I'd like for everything to calm down afterward. I had some blood work done, and everything came back normal, including my cholesterol levels. My cardiologist has mentioned that everything seems okay, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. What should I do about this?

Palpitations during exercise can be concerning, even if your cardiologist has given you the all-clear. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before exercising to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine before working out. If the palpitations persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.
