Question

I'm experiencing a fast heartbeat and I'm worried if it could be a case of SVT. I had an echocardiogram and it came back normal. Does that mean my heart is fine or should I be concerned about something else?

It is good that your echo is normal. Fast heart beat can be due to various reasons, including SVT. To help control your heart rate, you can take medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question

I'm experiencing some heart-related issues that are making me a bit anxious. Back in December 2019, I had a fast heartbeat and some pain on my left side, so I went to a cardio doctor in Patna. After running an ECG, he prescribed me clonozepam, etizola, and a beta blocker, which really helped at the time. But lately, I've been noticing this fluttering sensation in my heart, and it's making me wonder if it's something I should be worried about or if it's fine to just ignore it. Could you give me some advice on this?
