Question 2

I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure shooting up to 14090 all of a sudden. I've had high BP since I was 33, and now I'm 38. My weight is around 110 kg and I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall, so I know I'm quite obese. I stress out easily and can get pr...

Based on your description, it seems like you are experiencing episodes of sudden high blood pressure due to various factors such as obesity, stress, and possibly uncontrolled anger. The combination of these factors can contribute to spikes in blood pressure. It's good that you have been evaluated by a Cardiologist and have undergone tests to rule out any underlying heart issues. To help manage your blood pressure, you are currently taking Stamlo 5mg, which is a brand name for Amlodipine. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. In addition to this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress through relaxation techniques or counseling, and addressing anger management. Regarding your heart rate reaching 130 beats per minute during physical activity, it can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular exercise. However, since you are also an Asthma patient, it is important to monitor your heart rate during physical activity and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning symptoms. Overall, it is essential to continue taking your medication as prescribed, make necessary lifestyle modifications, and keep track of your blood pressure regularly. If you have any further concerns or if your symptoms persist, please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

Question 4

I'm a bit concerned because I had a PTCA procedure about 14 months ago. Now, my doctor is suggesting I stop taking Axcer 90 mg twice daily for 5 days and just stick with Ecosprin 75 mg once a day. This is supposed to be for a CT-guided biopsy because...

Accepted Answer

yes.

Question 5

I'm curious about somethingcan you have a negative TMT stress test but still experience angina or have atherosclerosis? Is getting an angiogram a better way to check for coronary artery disease?

Accepted Answer

A negative TMT stress test does not completely rule out the presence of angina or atherosclerosis. In some cases, the test may not accurately detect blockages in the coronary arteries. An angiogram is considered the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) as it provides a direct visualization of the coronary arteries. If there is a high suspicion of CAD despite a negative TMT, an angiogram may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

Question 6
