View allI'm dealing with anxiety from last year, and recently I found out I have high blood pressure. The doctor ran an ECG and said I have left ventricular hypertrophy. I'm on medication for hypertension now. Should I be worried about this left ventricular hypertrophy? I'd love some guidance on this.
"Left ventricular hypertrophy is a serious condition as it indicates that the muscle of the heart's main pumping chamber has thickened. It can be caused by conditions like hypertension. It is important to manage both your anxiety and hypertension to prevent further complications. In addition to your hypertension medication, your doctor may prescribe medications like beta-blockers or ACE inhibitors to help manage left ventricular hypertrophy. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are crucial in managing this condition."

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and anxiety following your COVID-19 infection. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol 20mg twice a day. This medication can help reduce palpitations and anxiety by slowing down your heart rate. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to make sense of this ECG report. It's got me a bit worried. The vent rate is 64 BPM, PR interval is at 232 ms, Qrs duration reads 114 ms, and the QtQtc interval shows 407423. Should I be concerned about any of these numbers? Are there any changes I should be considering?
Based on the ECG report you provided, everything seems within normal limits. There are no serious concerns noted. The ventricular rate is 64 BPM, PR interval is 232 ms, QRS duration is 114 ms, and QTQTC interval is 407423 ms. No immediate changes in medication are required based on this ECG report.
