I have a hair transplant scheduled for the 21st but my recent ECG and blood pressure readings were abnormal. My BP was 165/93 and I've attached my ECG report can you take a look? My surgeon advised consulting a cardiologist but I'm worried should I go ahead with the surgery or wait until things stabilize? What do you suggest?

View allI'm feeling really puzzled and a bit worried about these weird symptoms I've been having. My chest feels heavy on and off, and even though I've had loads of tests like ECG, echo, holter, TMT, and even a C-reactive protein test, everything came back normal. But then there's this pain in my arms and legs, with the left side feeling worse. In the last couple of days, I've also had some breathlessness. Eating and sleeping seem fine. There are these very brief chest pains that feel like an electric shock, just for a second. I've been trying to keep active by walking 5 km daily, but sometimes I find it hard because I get out of breath. What could be going on with me?

I'm trying to come off the beta blockers my doctor prescribed for the heart palpitations linked to my anxiety. I'm a bit worried about the process and wondering if stopping them might lead to any issues or side effects afterward. Can you help guide me on what to expect and how to do this safely?
To come off beta blockers that were prescribed for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations, it is important to gradually taper off the medication under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Abruptly stopping beta blockers can lead to rebound symptoms such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety. One common beta blocker used for anxiety symptoms is Propranolol. Your doctor may gradually reduce your dosage over a period of time to minimize withdrawal symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully during this process. After stopping beta blockers, some individuals may experience a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure. However, these symptoms typically subside as your body adjusts to being off the medication. If you have any concerns or experience any troubling symptoms during the tapering process, be sure to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm curious if it's possible for someone my age, 23, to have heart problems. If it is, what might cause it? I'm hopeful for some clarity on this.
Yes, it is possible for a 23 year old to have heart problems. One possible reason could be a condition called "congenital heart disease," which means the person is born with a heart defect. Other reasons could include infections, inflammatory conditions like myocarditis, or even lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or substance abuse. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
