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 if the Carca 3.125 medication I'm taking after having a stent placed is related to the headaches I've been experiencing. My blood pressure seems to be stable around 10567 after taking the meds, so I'm a bit puzzled. Could the Carca be affecting me this way?

My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

I've been having this pain in my left chest, and sometimes it even spreads to my hand. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious. What do you think I should do about it? Should I be concerned?

The symptoms you are experiencing, such as pain in the left chest and pain in your hand, could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with potential heart-related pain. Please do not delay in seeking medical help.
