I'm noticing that my heart rate is going above 100-115 from time to time. My blood pressure is normal, but my hemoglobin level is 10.8. About a month ago, I had an ECG done, and it showed sinus tachycardia and IRBBB. But I'm still experiencing a heart rate over 100-115. Should I be worried about this? What might be causing it?

Based on your symptoms and previous ECG findings, you may benefit from taking a beta-blocker medication to help control your heart rate. I recommend you take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and monitoring.

I'm having chest pain for the past two years and have already done tests like HLA B27 by PCR, ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and a CT Coronary Angiography. All the results have come back normal, but I'm still dealing with this left-sided chest pain. My recent blood tests show HS CRP is 9.7, Lipoprotein A is 35.09, SGOT is 70.9, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. Now my doctor wants me to do a 2D Echo with a GLS test. What do you think is going on? Is there something specific my doctor might be looking for with this new test?

I'm trying to figure out if my ECG looks normal or if I should see someone about it. Could you help me understand what's going on with the T waves in leads II, III, aVF, V3, V4, V5, and V6? I'm feeling really anxious about this.

Abnormal T waves in leads II, III, aVF, V3, V4, V5, and V6 can indicate various cardiac conditions. It is important to further evaluate these findings to determine the underlying cause. In some cases, abnormal T waves can be a sign of ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other cardiac issues. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

My dad had bypass surgery about 20 years ago, and now the doctor is suggesting he needs a CAG. They mentioned something about "30 working," and I'm not completely sure what that means. He's 60 years old now. Is it safe for him to go through this procedure again at his age?

"Dear Sir, based on your father's history of bypass surgery and the current recommendation for CAG due to 30% heart function, it is important to proceed with caution. Given his age of 60 years, the procedure can still be safe. Your father may benefit from medications like Clopidogrel 75mg and Atorvastatin 40mg to manage his heart condition. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and monitor for any potential complications. Regular follow-up appointments are essential for his ongoing care and management."
