I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG results. It mentioned something like 800 sinus rhythm, and I'm not really sure what that means. Also, my blood pressure showed up as 13084. Is this considered normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
800 sinus rhythm means that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm, typically between 60-100 beats per minute. A heart rate of 800 would be abnormally high and would be a cause for concern. As for the ECG being normal, without seeing the actual ECG tracing, I cannot provide a definitive answer. However, sinus rhythm is considered normal on an ECG. Regarding your blood pressure of 13084, this is considered prehypertension. If you have no other medical conditions and are not experiencing any symptoms, it may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have concerns about your ECG or blood pressure, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really anxious about my recent ECG results. They showed irregular heartbeats and sometimes sinus tachycardia. My doctor mentioned taking Nebi 2.5, but I'm unsure if it's right for me because I don't have blood pressure issues or any other major health problems. Also, I tend to overthink and have anxiety. Is this medication really going to help with my situation? I'm feeling quite torn about starting it. What do you suggest?
Nebivolol (Nebi) 2.5 mg is a beta-blocker often prescribed to manage irregular heartbeats and conditions like sinus tachycardia, and it can also help with anxiety symptoms by slowing the heart rate and reducing palpitations. Since you have anxiety and overthinking issues, Nebivolol might help alleviate these symptoms by controlling your heart rate. However, it's important to follow your doctor's advice and give the medication a try while monitoring your response to it. If you have concerns or experience side effects, discuss them with your healthcare provider. Additionally, consider incorporating anxiety management techniques such as mindfulness, therapy, or relaxation exercises.

So my dad had CABG surgery on March 9, 2017, and everything seemed fine while he was in the hospital and ICU, even when we got home. But during a routine check-up on March 22, some of his meds were stopped. A couple of days later, he developed a fever around 99-100. We told our doctor, and he suggested blood and urine cultures. The urine culture came back positive with two bacteria, and one was really resistant to antibiotics. The surgeon prescribed Linospan 600 and Furadantin 200, twice and thrice daily, but the fever didn't go away. Another culture at the hospital showed negative for infection in his urine, yet his fever continued around 99-99.5. After a week, another urine culture was still negative. We tried stopping his Combiflame, and the fever went away for a couple of days, but then it returned, and we had to start Combiflame again. Why is his fever persisting despite all these medications and negative test results? Could it be something other than an infection, or are we missing something important? Any advice on what we should do next?
It seems like your dad is experiencing recurrent fever despite antibiotic treatment for a positive urine culture. Since the urine culture has come back negative on subsequent tests, it is important to consider other possible causes for the fever. One common cause could be a post-operative infection related to the CABG surgery. In such cases, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be needed. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of adding a different antibiotic to cover for other potential infections. In the meantime, to help manage the fever, you can continue giving Combiflam as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your dad stays well-hydrated and gets plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
