I'm experiencing heart palpitations and my heart beats faster sometimes along with chest discomfort, all this in the past six months or so. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT and they all came back normal. My blood pressure at home is usually below 12085, but when I go to the doctor's office, it shoots up to 13090 and sometimes even 150100. Should I be worried about this difference in blood pressure readings, and could it be linked to the palpitations I'm feeling?
Since six months some time feel heart palpitation and beat faster and chest discomfort. I have done ecg echo tmt everything normal. Bp also below 12085 at home But doctor clinic always 13090 some time 150100. It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations and chest discomfort despite normal results on your ECG, echo, and TMT tests. Your blood pressure readings are also slightly elevated at the doctor's clinic. In such cases, your symptoms may be related to anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage: 25-50mg once daily) to help with the palpitations and chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial.

So my dad had CABG surgery on March 9, 2017, and everything seemed fine while he was in the hospital and ICU, even when we got home. But during a routine check-up on March 22, some of his meds were stopped. A couple of days later, he developed a fever around 99-100. We told our doctor, and he suggested blood and urine cultures. The urine culture came back positive with two bacteria, and one was really resistant to antibiotics. The surgeon prescribed Linospan 600 and Furadantin 200, twice and thrice daily, but the fever didn't go away. Another culture at the hospital showed negative for infection in his urine, yet his fever continued around 99-99.5. After a week, another urine culture was still negative. We tried stopping his Combiflame, and the fever went away for a couple of days, but then it returned, and we had to start Combiflame again. Why is his fever persisting despite all these medications and negative test results? Could it be something other than an infection, or are we missing something important? Any advice on what we should do next?
It seems like your dad is experiencing recurrent fever despite antibiotic treatment for a positive urine culture. Since the urine culture has come back negative on subsequent tests, it is important to consider other possible causes for the fever. One common cause could be a post-operative infection related to the CABG surgery. In such cases, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be needed. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of adding a different antibiotic to cover for other potential infections. In the meantime, to help manage the fever, you can continue giving Combiflam as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your dad stays well-hydrated and gets plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
