I've been told by my doctor that I need a CT angiography, but because of my sinus tachycardia, he mentioned it might be hard to do. I'm already taking beta-blockers and sedatives, but my heart rate is still not under control at the doctor's office. I'm worried about how I can manage my heart rate so I can get the CT angio done. What should I do?
To manage your heart rate for CT angiography despite sinus tachycardia, you can consider using a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem. The recommended dosage for Diltiazem in this case would be 120-360 mg per day. This medication can help in controlling your heart rate and making it feasible to undergo the CT angiography procedure. Additionally, you may also benefit from the use of a medication like Atenolol, a beta blocker, at a dosage of 25-100 mg per day to further help in controlling your heart rate during the procedure. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance and dosage instructions carefully.

I think I might have angina because I'm experiencing chest pains. I also have high blood pressure and was born with a slight blockage. I'm just 18 and I'm not sure how to talk to my parents about this. Honestly, I'm scared to go to a hospital. If I manage to lower my blood pressure, do you think it'll help with these symptoms? This has been happening for the past two days and I'm pretty worried. Could you give me some advice on what to do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, especially given your history of high blood pressure and a slight blockage. Lowering your blood pressure may help alleviate some symptoms, but it is important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take aspirin to help with chest pain. Please take one low-dose aspirin (81mg) and chew it to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Make sure to inform your parents about your symptoms and seek medical help as soon as possible.
