I recently went through a 2D echo because of some palpitations, and I've had an EKG as well. Plus, I did a stress test a while back. Do these results seem normal to you?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Based on the information provided, I cannot give a definitive answer without reviewing the actual results of your 2D echo, EKG, and stress test. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to interpret the results accurately. If everything looks normal, no further action may be needed. However, if there are any abnormalities or concerns, your doctor may recommend specific medications.

View allI've been dealing with some stuff after getting COVID and it's kind of worrying me. So, I'm a 22-year-old guy, and after COVID I noticed my heart rate was going up. My doctor put me on Nebicard 2.5, and I've been taking it since November 2021. It's helped with slowing my heart rate, but now it's sometimes dropping below 60 bpm. At home, my blood pressure readings are like 109121 with 6075 and sometimes 11569. But whenever I go to the doctor's office, it spikes because I'm so nervous. All my ECG and echo tests look normal though. Is there a way for me to maybe reduce the dosage of Nebicard? I'm trying to figure out if that's something I should be doing or if I should keep going as is. Can you give me some advice on this?
Since your heart rate has been well controlled with Nebicard 2.5 and your ECG and echo results are normal, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if you are looking to reduce the dosage, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to Nebicard 2.5 every other day or reducing the dosage to Nebicard 1.25 under their guidance. It is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly while adjusting the dosage.

I'm worried because my homocysteine levels are really high, like around 58.9, but my blood pressure is normal and I don't have diabetes. What steps should I take or things should I consider at this point?
High homocysteine levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take a combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. I recommend taking a tablet of Fol-5 Plus once daily, which contains the appropriate combination of these vitamins to help lower homocysteine levels. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise can also help in reducing homocysteine levels.

I'm a bit concerned about my hs-CRP levels because they came back at 1 mgL. Is that considered high for my age? I'm wondering how I can lower it. Also, I noticed my CRP level is only 0.13 mgdL, which seems good. How often should I be checking these, along with my lipid profile?
"Hs-CRP level of 1 mgl is considered to be low risk for cardiovascular disease. To reduce it further, you can consider incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medications like Atorvastatin 10mg daily can also help lower hs-CRP levels. For your CRP level of 0.13 mgdl, it is within the normal range. To maintain this level, continue with a healthy lifestyle. As for how often to repeat these tests along with lipid profile, it is generally recommended to repeat them annually for routine monitoring, unless your doctor advises otherwise based on your individual health status."
