View allI'm experiencing a fast heart rate between 130-150 beats per minute, even though I'm not feeling anxious or tense. I recently had a 2D echo, and it came back normal. Could you let me know what medicine I could take to manage this when my heart rate spikes, and what might be causing it?
When your heart rate increases significantly despite not feeling anxious or tense, it could be due to a condition called tachycardia. In such cases, you can use a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in this case would be 25-50mg orally, which can help slow down your heart rate and reduce the workload on your heart. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
Both Olmetrack 20 mg and Olmighty 20 mg contain the same active ingredient, which is olmesartan. They belong to the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and are used to treat high blood pressure. You can switch from Olmetrack 20 mg to Olmighty 20 mg as they are equivalent in terms of effectiveness. The recommended dosage for Olmighty 20 mg would be the same as Olmetrack 20 mg, which is usually once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly after switching to ensure that it remains controlled. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

I'm experiencing some persistent chest pain, and it's been going on for over two months now. It feels like a pinching pain right in the middle of my chest, but sometimes it shifts to the right or left side. There are also times when my heart starts beating really fast. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT done, and all the results came back normal. I'm still feeling this pain and it's quite unsettling. Could you help me figure out what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?
it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of non-cardiac chest pain. Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, the chest pain may not be related to your heart. One common cause of such symptoms could be acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the chest pain. Additionally, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may need to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. It's also important to avoid trigger foods like spicy, fatty, or acidic foods. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider if the symptoms continue."
