I'm feeling really shaky and I've been having these spells of dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure since around 5pm, and it's been all over the place. It started at 12987 with a pulse of 75, then went to 13994 with a pulse of 89, 13795 with a pulse of 84, 13387 with a pulse of 70, and now it's at 13290 with a pulse of 76. I made sure I was sitting up straight and resting before and during each check. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Can you help?

Your symptoms of shakiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings, may indicate dehydration, anxiety, or an underlying condition such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and potential tests, such as blood work or an ECG, to determine the underlying cause.

View allI've been having this chest pain on the right side near my shoulder for a couple of months now. I saw a doctor near my place, and he checked me out, saying there's nothing to worry about, but the pain is still bothering me. He gave me some medicine called UGESIC 20mg and suggested I get an HB test. What could this pain mean, and should I be doing something more or different?

So I got my ECG results and there's an RSR pattern showing up in lead 3 only, while everything else seems normal. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal variation? Could you help me understand what this might mean?

I'm 32 and weigh 45 kg, and I've been experiencing frequent breathlessness and sometimes chest pain. My doctor recommended some tests like an ECG, an echocardiogram, and a blood test. I'm really worried because I've heard that getting an echocardiogram might not be safe for the heart. I'm scared of going through with it. What should I do?
Echocardiogram is a safe and commonly used test to assess the structure and function of the heart. It uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart, allowing doctors to see how well the heart is pumping blood and detect any abnormalities. It is a valuable tool in diagnosing various heart conditions. In your case, since you are experiencing symptoms like breathlessness and chest pain, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for further testing. The information obtained from the echocardiogram, along with the other tests like ECG and blood test, will help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for you. There is no need to be afraid of the echocardiogram test as it is a non-invasive procedure and does not involve any radiation exposure. It is important to follow through with the recommended tests to ensure your heart health is properly evaluated.
