I was recently diagnosed with sinus tachycardia before my laparoscopic surgery and I'm a bit concerned should I be worried about this? The doctors mentioned it during my pre-op tests but didn't go into much detail. Is this something serious or just a temporary thing?

In my air force medical exam, they said I'm unfit because of something called a CVS review. I'm pretty worried about what this means for me. Can you explain what CVS review medical unfitness is all about? Is it a serious issue?

I'm dealing with Sinus Arrhythmia and have been on Cordarone 100 daily. I recently had a 24-hour Holter monitor test, which showed many periods of Sinus Bradycardia and frequent PVCs. My Echo cardiogram says LVEF is 72 with Trivial MRTR. Everything else like my ECG, lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles are coming back normal. My HbA1c is at 4.9 and my hemoglobin is 15.10. Can you please help me understand what all this means and if there's anything specific I should be doing or worrying about?

I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?

Based on your blood pressure readings, even though your other health parameters are normal, it is important to address the high blood pressure. I recommend starting medication to help lower your blood pressure. In addition to medication, it is also beneficial to make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. These lifestyle modifications can further help in controlling your blood pressure.
