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 allMy brother is 18 and we've discovered that he has high blood pressure readings around 14070 or sometimes 15070. We've done a bunch of tests like ECG, EKG, ultrasound, renal Doppler, TSH, echo, and urine metanephrine serum tests, and they all came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about essential hypertension and started him on amlong 2.5mg. But since that didn't help, his dose was bumped up to 5mg. I just got a BP monitor, and his readings were 13078 in the morning and 14770 in the evening. I'm seriously concerned because he's so young and is managing to exercise regularly with a healthy BMI. What could be causing this, and how can we help lower his BP?
It's good that your brother has been proactive in monitoring his blood pressure and leading a healthy lifestyle. Despite these measures, essential hypertension can sometimes be challenging to control. Since the morning blood pressure reading is within a normal range, it's important to continue monitoring at different times of the day. In cases where blood pressure remains elevated, the dosage of the medication may need to be adjusted further. I recommend discussing with the doctor about potentially increasing the dose of Amlong to 7.5mg or exploring other medication options such as Telma (Telmisartan) 40mg. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help in managing blood pressure levels. Regular follow-ups with the doctor for monitoring and adjustments are essential in managing hypertension effectively."

I've just turned 38 and I'm on Eslo 5 mg for my blood pressure. Lately, though, I've noticed my readings creeping up to around 15090. Should I be worried about this, and is there something I should do to get it back under control?
If your blood pressure is consistently high even after taking Eslo 5mg, it may be time to increase your medication. Visit your regular physician for recalibration of anti-hypertensive medication. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise of about 30 minutes everyday and cessation of smokingdrinking may be helpful. Opting for a DASH diet may also help control hypertension.

I'm a bit worried about my heart health after my MI last January 2018. I was hospitalized and prescribed Elaxim, but no surgeries or stent were necessary. For the past year and a half, I've been taking Clavix AS 150 and Tonact 80mg, but recently I've been having a pricking pain in my chest and sometimes muscle cramps. I saw another cardiologist who suggested switching to Remetor CV and Nuroking D3 since my vitamin D and B12 levels are low. Are these new meds going to be effective for me? How does my heart compare to someone with a normal heart now? I also did a TMT a month ago and walked for 14.9 minutes. What should I be careful about? I drink occasionally, like once every 15 days, is that okay? I dont smoke. Also, I get anxious trying to tell apart a stomach pain from a heart pain since I panic every time I feel those chest pains. What should I look out for?
The medications Remetor CV and Nuroking D3 prescribed by your cardiologist are appropriate for your condition, especially considering your low vitamin D and B12 levels. Remetor CV contains a combination of medications to help manage your heart health, and Nuroking D3 will help improve your vitamin D levels. It is essential to follow your doctor's advice and take the shots as recommended to address your nutritional deficiencies. In comparison to a normal person's heart, your heart health may require closer monitoring and specific medications to manage the aftermath of a heart attack. It is crucial to continue taking your prescribed medications, follow a heart-healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity as tolerated, and attend regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist. Regarding your lifestyle, it is generally safe to consume alcohol occasionally, as long as it is in moderation and does not interfere with your medications or overall health. However, it is advisable to limit alcohol intake and be mindful of any adverse effects it may have on your heart health. To differentiate between gastric pain and heart pain, it is essential to pay attention to the characteristics of the pain. Heart-related chest pain is often described as pressure, tightness, or squeezing sensation that may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back. It is usually triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress and may be accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or lightheadedness. Gastric pain, on the other hand, is typically associated with digestion, may worsen after meals, and can be accompanied by symptoms like bloating, burping, or acid reflux. If you experience chest pain and are unsure of the cause, it is always best to seek medical attention promptly to rule out any serious cardiac issues.
