I'm a bit concerned after my routine ECG showed a short PR interval noted by the doctor as 0.11 ms and an S wave extending to V6. Can you tell me what these findings might mean and what steps I should take next?

View allHey, a few days back I had a weird situation where I started feeling really anxious, my heart rate shot up to 150, and I had palpitations. I took Ciplar LA 20 and Dolo 650, and luckily my pulse eventually dropped back to 75. I'm trying to figure out if this was Supraventricular Tachycardia or just something normal? This happened to me once about three months ago, and it got better after taking Dolo 650 and some anxiety meds. I even had an ECG done in May, and that came out perfect. Do you think these two episodes could be Supraventricular Tachycardia, or are they just normal?
Based on your description, it is possible that you experienced episodes of Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) given the sudden onset of palpitations, anxiety feeling, and rapid rise in pulse rate to 150 beats per minute. The fact that your symptoms improved after taking Ciplar LA 20 (propranolol) which is a beta-blocker commonly used to manage SVT supports this possibility. Additionally, the normal ECG results in May suggest that there may not be any underlying structural heart issues causing the SVT. For the management of SVT episodes, you can continue to use Ciplar LA 20 as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss long-term management options, such as potential medication adjustments or other interventions like ablation therapy. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid triggers that may precipitate SVT episodes, such as caffeine, stress, or certain medications. Keeping a record of your symptoms and discussing them with your healthcare provider can also help in monitoring your condition effectively.

I'm worried about Ciplar LA 20 and its effects on blood cholesterol levels. If someone were to take Ciplar LA 20 for a long time, could it raise their cholesterol?
Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol) is a beta-blocker medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. It is not known to increase blood cholesterol levels in the body. However, it is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly, as beta-blockers can sometimes affect lipid metabolism. If someone needs to take Ciplar LA 20 for a long period of time, it is important to follow up with their healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring. The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual needs and response to the medication.
