I'm really confused about what's going on with my health. My ECG came out normal, but I've been wondering if I should get a Stress ECG or maybe a Stress ECHO done instead. I've been on Petril Beta 10 twice a day for anxiety for about four months now, but for the past month, I've been getting dizzy, and it's worse when I'm around loud noises or music. My parents think its just anxiety because that's what the local doctor said, but there are times when I feel breathless, like I'm not getting enough air. I had an ECG, ECHO, and Stress ECG along with some blood tests done back on June 30, and the doctors said everything is fine. Its been around 6.5 months of treatment and I'm still not feeling as healthy as before, which is worrying me a lot. Plus, for the past couple of months, I've had this dry cough that just comes and goes. I really need some advice on how to figure out what's going on.

It's good that your ECG, ECHO, and Stress ECG results came back normal. Since you are still experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, breathlessness, and dry cough, it may be beneficial to undergo a Stress ECHO to further evaluate your heart function under stress conditions. In the meantime, for your anxiety, continue taking Petril Beta 10 twice daily. To address your dizziness, your doctor may consider adjusting your medication dosage or prescribing medications like Betahistine. For your dry cough, you can try over-the-counter cough suppressants like Benadryl Cough Formula. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants that may trigger your cough. Follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

View allI'm really concerned about this weird heartbeat thing happening to me. Whenever I'm sitting, lying down, or trying to sleep, I can hear my heartbeat really strong. My pulse is usually between 60 and 90, and this has been going on for like 10 months now. I went through all these tests about 10 months ago: 5 ECGs, 3 Echoes, and 1 TMT, and they all came back normal. I'm not sure what to do about these palpitations. Could you give me some advice on how to deal with this?
Based on your symptoms and normal test results, you may be experiencing benign palpitations. To help manage palpitations, you can try using beta-blockers such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding triggers like caffeine and stress can also help reduce palpitations. If your symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be necessary.

I'm really worried because my friend's ECG came back as borderline abnormal. Can you explain what that means? Is it something we should be really concerned about? The ECG mentioned things like a negative T wave and I'm not sure what all the numbers mean... like HR is 93min and the axis is 62 degrees. I'm kind of puzzled by how serious this is. What should we do next?
negative t wave could be due to hypertension, ischsemic heart diseases and electrolye imbalance conditions .And echo is advised , post that a cardiologist opinion i indicated.Salt restricted diet , dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 55 and dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure, and he was told he needs to decide about a second open-heart surgery. The first one he had was an off-pump coronary artery bypass using a vein from his leg. He's supposed to have this new surgery by the end of the year. Can you help me understand what kind of risks he might be facing with this surgery?
Infection,bleeding ,allergic reactions and headache are some of the complications of the surgery.
