I'm experiencing a fast heart rate between 130-150 beats per minute, even though I'm not feeling anxious or tense. I recently had a 2D echo, and it came back normal. Could you let me know what medicine I could take to manage this when my heart rate spikes, and what might be causing it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
When your heart rate increases significantly despite not feeling anxious or tense, it could be due to a condition called tachycardia. In such cases, you can use a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in this case would be 25-50mg orally, which can help slow down your heart rate and reduce the workload on your heart. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

View allI've got a blocked artery and I've just had a stent put in. I know I should avoid oil, butter, ghee, and paneer - so I've cut those out of my diet. But here's the thing, I really love rice. My wife says it's not good for me either. Can you tell me if it's okay to have a bowl of rice now and then?
Dear user, regarding your question about including rice in your diet after being diagnosed with a blocked artery and having a stent placed, it is important to focus on a heart-healthy diet. You can still enjoy rice in moderation. Opt for whole grain rice like brown rice or wild rice, and limit the portion size to about 12 to 1 cup per meal. It is also recommended to pair rice with plenty of vegetables and lean protein. Additionally, you can incorporate foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, into your diet to promote heart health. Remember to follow your doctor's advice and medication regimen for optimal recovery and management of your condition

I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal result yesterday with something about an RBBB block. Is this something serious, and should I head straight to the hospital? Or can I just stick with the medication that was given to me at the health camp?

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain whenever I move around for about a year now. I even had a chest CT scan done, but the doctor said everything looked normal. I'm confused about what could be causing this pain, especially since it seems to be worse in the morning. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
