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.

I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?
To get a complete picture of the functioning of the heart, it is recommended to also do a lipid profile and a hemogram in addition to TMT (Treadmill Test) and 2D Echo. Lipid profile helps to assess the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which are important risk factors for heart disease. Hemogram provides information about the overall health of the individual, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, and platelet count, which can also impact heart health. Therefore, including a lipid profile and hemogram along with TMT and 2D Echo can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the heart's functioning.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure reading, which is 140103. Is it normal, or should I be worried? Can it be improved with lifestyle changes? Would love some advice.
A blood pressure reading of 140103 is considered high and warrants attention; while lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep can help lower blood pressure
