View allI've been having bouts where my heart rate spikes up to 100-105, and I've noticed some mild chest pain with that. When this happens, my heart rate is usually under 100, and my blood pressure is 12680, plus my sugar and thyroid levels are normal. My ECG came back showing sinus tachycardia. Could you guide me on what kind of medicine might help with this?
I cannot view attachments, but given your description of symptomsintermittent high heart rate, mild chest pain, and an ECG showing sinus tachycardiait's important to address these issues carefully. Since your blood pressure and thyroid levels are normal, your symptoms could be related to stress, anxiety, or other non-cardiac causes. Medications such as beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol) may help manage sinus tachycardia and associated symptoms, but these should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep can be beneficial. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan, including whether medication is necessary.

My dad has a heart condition and fluid retention issues. He's on all the right meds and treatments but still gets really low on energy sometimes can't even do his usual daily activities. Is this normal or could there be something specific causing it? Also wondering if surgery might be an option for his condition
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been having some mild pain in the mid and left upper chest when I breathe heavily, and it changes depending on how I'm sitting. It seems to happen when I switch from inhaling to exhaling. I've had an ECG and Chest X-ray, and both came back normal. Could this be something to worry about?
