Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?

View allI'm 32 and I noticed my heart rate hit 140 before I was even stressed, and during the second and third stages, it jumped up to between 190 and 202. My ECG came back normal otherwise. Should I be worried that this is risky for my heart or something serious? Is it possible for it to get back to normal with medication? Could this kind of change shorten the life of my heart? What kind of treatment or solution should I be looking into?
The ultrasound report indicates a PCO (Polycystic Ovary) pattern in both ovaries. This means multiple small cysts are present, a common finding in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). No abnormal solid or cystic lesions were detected, which is reassuring. Ovarian size is within normal range (33x18mm). Consult a gynecologist to discuss the report and determine next steps. Further evaluation may be necessary to confirm or rule out PCOS.

What is a heart cough?
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

My blood pressure has been consistently around 150100 for the last two weeks, and it's making me a little worried. I sometimes feel dizzy and really tired, almost like I just want to sleep all the time. I've heard from someone that once you start medication for BP, it becomes a lifetime thing, and if you stop, your BP will just spike up again. I'm not sure what I should do about it. Do you have any advice?
It's important to manage your high blood pressure to prevent complications. In addition to medication, you can make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. You can also try natural remedies like garlic supplements or hibiscus tea. However, if your blood pressure remains high, it's advisable to start medication.
