I'm experiencing a fast heartbeat and I'm worried if it could be a case of SVT. I had an echocardiogram and it came back normal. Does that mean my heart is fine or should I be concerned about something else?

It is good that your echo is normal. Fast heart beat can be due to various reasons, including SVT. To help control your heart rate, you can take medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

View allI've been checking my pulse readings on my device this morning and I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about it? Im taking Olmezest 40, Zyloric 100, and S Numlo 2.5. Do those affect my pulse, or is there something else I should be aware of?
Your pulse reading is an important vital sign that can provide insight into your heart health. A normal resting heart rate for adults is typically between 60 to 100 beats per minute. If your pulse reading is consistently outside of this range, it may be a cause for concern and you should consult with a healthcare professional. As for the medications you mentioned, Olmezest 40 is a brand name for olmesartan, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Zyloric 100 is a brand name for allopurinol, often prescribed for conditions like gout. S Numlo 2.5 is a brand name for amlodipine, which is also used to treat high blood pressure. It's important to take these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to monitor your pulse readings regularly. If you have any concerns about your pulse or overall health, it's best to seek medical advice promptly.

I've been noticing this strange sensation in my chest, like a pressure drop or a quick loss of breath with a tingle that spreads. It's been happening a lot over the past year. Heart issues run in my family and my grandpa even has a pacemaker. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What do you think this might be?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition, especially given your family history. The symptoms you described, such as chest pressure, shortness of breath, and tingling, could be related to a heart issue. I recommend you consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and testing. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart.

My father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?
Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.
