I'm really worried about my mom's situation. She's dealing with restrictive cardiomyopathy, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension. The doctor suggested she takes sildenafil 20 and Isolazine 20 three times daily, but I've read that mixing these meds can sometimes lead to serious issues. Could this combo be risky for her? She's also on seloken XL 25, Tide 10, and Dabigatran 110. Any advice would really help.

View allI'm having trouble with a high heart rate. Sometimes it spikes over 100, and if I walk for just 5 minutes, it quickly jumps to around 120-130. Doing even a little bit of exercise can push it to 150. I've already had a 2D echo and TMT, but my doctor said everything looks normal. I'm really confused about what's causing this and wondering if there are other tests that might help diagnose the issue. How can I prevent these spikes from happening?
Given that your 2D echo and TMT results are normal, the elevated heart rate could be due to factors such as anxiety, deconditioning, thyroid issues, or other non-cardiac causes. It might be helpful to check your thyroid function with blood tests like TSH, Free T4, and Free T3, as hyperthyroidism can elevate heart rate. Monitoring for conditions like anemia with a complete blood count (CBC) and checking electrolyte levels might also be beneficial. To manage and prevent a high heart rate, consider stress-reduction techniques like mindfulness or yoga, ensure adequate hydration, and gradually increase your physical activity to improve cardiovascular fitness. Consult your healthcare provider to discuss these potential tests and management strategies further.
