Question 1

I'm wondering if it's normal to have tachycardia because both my ECG and echo tests came back normal, but I still experience it. My heart feels like it's beating really loudly, and when I check my pulse with an oximeter, it can shoot up to around 120, then it settles back to normal after a while. It's pretty scary when my heart rate spikes like that. Are there any more tests I should consider to figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Tachycardia, or a fast heart rate, can be concerning even if your ECG and echo are normal. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as a loud heartbeat and fluctuations in your pulse rate, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. To address your tachycardia and associated symptoms, you may consider undergoing additional tests such as a Holter monitor to continuously record your heart's activity over 24-48 hours, a stress test to evaluate your heart's function during physical activity, and blood tests to check for any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, to help manage your tachycardia symptoms, you can consider taking medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of palpitations. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm really worried because my father was supposed to take Pinom H 20mg but accidentally took Pinom A 20mg for a week. Could this mix-up cause any issues for him? I'm just trying to figure out if we need to be concerned or take him to see someone about this. Any advice would be helpful.

Accepted Answer

no

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about my dad's blood pressure. He got it checked today just for a routine check-up and it was 144100. He's 53 and doesn't have any medical conditions. He's pretty active and walks 2 to 3 km every day. Is this blood pressure range okay for his age, or should he start taking medication to control it? What do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Your father's blood pressure reading of 144100 mmHg is considered stage 2 hypertension, which is above the normal range for his age; given his active lifestyle and lack of underlying medical conditions, lifestyle modifications such as increasing physical activity, reducing sodium intake, and stress management should be attempted first, before considering medication
