I'm 24 and recently found out I have sinus tachycardia and Grade 1 MVP. My Holter monitor showed a few ectopics, and I've been having anxiety that pushes my heart rate to around 130 bpm when I go out. My doctor suggested taking INDERAL 10 twice a day, but I'm worried. I've heard that once you start on beta blockers, you can't stop them. Is that true? Should I really begin this medication?

Question

Is a mild concentric LVH and Grade I diastolic dysfunction something serious for a 68-year-old woman who's had a high sugar level of 250 and has been taking medication for diabetes for 6 years and heart issues for 4 years? What steps should we be taking? Is there a concern about ischemic heart disease with these symptoms, especially given the normal echo report?

Question

I'm a bit concerned after my recent doctor visit. I had some left shoulder pain and my hands felt a bit numb after traveling, so I went to get checked out. The doctor had me do an ECG and mentioned that the QRS interval was 119ms, along with some other abnormalities, then suggested an echo just to be sure. The echo results seemed alright, showing no PAH or RWAH, and my LV systolic and diastolic function looks fine with an EF of 68. They didn't find any clots or vegetation, and the doctor said my echo is fine, but I'm still worried about the QRS interval on my ECG. Should I be looking deeper into this, or is it nothing too concerning?
