I'm experiencing some mild chest pain around my ribs, both on the right side and the far left side of my chest. It's a bit worrying because when I walk for about 10 minutes, I start feeling really fatigued even though my oxygen level seems to be fine at 99. Should I be concerned about this?

View allI'm often noticing my blood pressure is around 13090, and I've also been feeling my heartbeat more in my head and have shaky hands. I'm trying to understand why this might be happening. Should I be worried about these symptoms? I did a treadmill test last August, and it was completely normal. What do you think could be going on?
Your blood pressure of 13090 is slightly elevated, which may be causing the symptoms you are experiencing. The sensation of feeling your heartbeat in your head and shaky hands could be due to increased blood pressure. I would recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress management techniques. In terms of medication, you can consider starting with a low-dose of a medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm really concerned after getting a report that mentions having a borderline with a short PR interval. Is this something that I should be worried about? What steps should I take next?
A borderline short PR interval may indicate a potential conduction abnormality in the heart. It is important to further evaluate this finding. The next steps would typically involve a thorough medical history, physical examination, and additional tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, and possibly a Holter monitor to monitor heart rhythm over a period of time. In terms of medication, if necessary, a doctor may prescribe medications such as Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help regulate the heart rate and rhythm. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the underlying cause of the short PR interval and should be determined by a healthcare professional after a comprehensive evaluation.

I'm trying to understand the difference between the results of my echo and my CT scan regarding my heart condition. My echo shows mild concentric LVH with lvpwdd 12.2 and ivs d 12, and my LVEF is at 73. But my CT scan, which was a 128-slice MDCT of the heart, suggests normal LVH and a normal LV cavity with normal thickness, having a zero calcium score. Also, my TMT came out negative for any chest pain-related issues. I'm kind of confused here. Which result should I rely on when it comes to the left ventricular hypertrophy? Which is considered more accurate or should I be concerned about something else here?
Both CT angiography and echocardiogram are valuable tools for assessing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but they provide different types of information. In your case, since the CT angiography showed normal left ventricular cavity with normal thickness and normal coronary arteries, and zero calcium score, it indicates a healthy heart without any structural abnormalities or blockages. On the other hand, the echocardiogram reported mild concentric LVH with specific measurements of left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWd) and interventricular septum thickness (IVSd). Given the discrepancy between the two imaging modalities, it is important to consider the clinical context and overall picture. In this scenario, the findings from the CT angiography showing a normal heart structure and function, along with a negative TMT (treadmill test), are more indicative of a healthy heart. Therefore, the CT angiography results are more reliable in this case. To address the chest pain related problem, you can consider taking medications like Amlodipine (5mg) for blood pressure control and Metoprolol (25mg) for heart rate control. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for chest pain relief as needed. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
