I'm really worried because last night my pulse rate was 130 after dinner, and I ended up taking Metocard XL 25 before heading to the hospital. They did an ECG and just sent me back home. But today, I've been feeling the same way. What should I do? Any suggestions?

It seems like you are experiencing a high pulse rate. Metocard XL 25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. In this case, you can continue taking Metocard XL 25 as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may also consider lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding caffeine, and getting regular exercise. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been trying to lose weight but whenever I exercise, I feel this tightness in my chest and get out of breath super quickly, like even just climbing stairs or walking. It's hard to breathe and my heart starts beating really fast. My blood pressure is on the high side too, usually around 135100, and I have a fatty liver. What should I do about all this?

I'm really confused about my recent echo results. Two months ago, it showed mild tricuspid valve regurgitation, and after making some lifestyle changes and a follow-up echo, it's now showing trivial regurgitation and valve thickening. I'm not sure what these changes mean or what I should do next. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to address this? I've included my report if that helps.

Based on the information provided, it seems like there has been an improvement in the tricuspid valve regurgitation from mild to trivial, which is a good sign. To address the trivial regurgitation and valve thickening, I recommend continuing with your healthy lifestyle changes and following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you can consider taking a diuretic like Lasix (furosemide) to help reduce any fluid buildup and ease the workload on the heart. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril can help reduce blood pressure and lessen the strain on the heart. It's important to have regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor any changes in your condition and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. If you have any symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or swelling, please seek medical attention promptly. Remember, lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, and regular medical follow-ups are key in managing heart conditions.
