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.

My mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!

I'm looking at my 2D echo report and trying to understand a couple of things. It mentions there's no regional wall motion abnormality and that my LV systolic function is good with a normal filling pattern. I'm relieved that there's no MR, AR, or precardial effusion, and no clots were found, but it says there's trivial TR and mild PAH. Could you help me understand what mild PAH means? From what you see in my report, how should I feel about these results overall?

That not a matter of concern just consume healthy diet and maintain regular physical activity follow your doctors advice

I'm currently taking Telma 40mg twice a day as my doctor recommended, but I accidentally bought Telma 20 instead. To make up for it, I've been taking two Telma 20 tablets each time. Is this okay, or did I mess up? Should I be concerned about any risks with doubling up like this?

No, as long as the dosage remains the same, it should not cause any significant issues.
