I've been dealing with heart anxiety since 2011 and had a bunch of tests done back in 2015. Everything seemed normal then but recently, I got an echo done in August that showed mild MRTR grade 1 DD. I also did some ECGs and they showed issues likely because of a fast heart rate or tachycardia. The doctor suggested a stress echo and I went through that last week. Could you take a look at the report? I'm a bit worried because my tests were normal in 2015 and now there's something going on. What do you think?

You have a history of heart anxiety since 2011 and have undergone multiple tests, including an echo in August which showed mild mitral regurgitationtricuspid regurgitation grade 1 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. After experiencing issues with fast heart rate tachycardia on recent ECGs, your doctor suggested a stress echo which you have completed. It would be helpful to review the report to provide a more accurate recommendation. Please provide the details of the stress echo report for further evaluation.

View allI'm taking Metocard XL 25, but recently switched to Metocard XL 12.5, and I've noticed a rash on my chest and hand. It's painful. A while back, when I was on Inderal LA, I had a similar rash. My cardiologist thinks it might be a side effect from the medication and suggested I get some tests done. Could I be allergic to both of these beta blockers?
It is possible to have an allergic reaction or side effects from beta blockers, including Metocard XL (metoprolol) and Inderal LA (propranolol), which can manifest as rashes and pain in the affected areas. Since you experienced similar symptoms with both medications, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice and undergo the recommended tests to confirm the cause of the rash. In the meantime, discuss alternative medications or treatment options with your cardiologist to manage your condition without causing allergic reactions.

I've been having chest pain on my left side and pain in my left hand for about 5 months now. On top of that, I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days, and sometimes I feel dizzy. The doctor had me do a TMT, ECHO, and ECG, but all those tests came out normal. I'm feeling pretty confused because my blood pressure often stays high, roughly around 120-130 over 75-85. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do next. Any ideas on what could be causing these issues?
From the symptoms you have described, along with your normal TMT, ECHO, and ECG results, it is important to consider other possible causes for your chest pain, left hand pain, headache, and dizziness. Given your elevated blood pressure readings, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to hypertension. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I suggest starting with an antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and potentially alleviate your symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management. Remember to also follow a healthy diet, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and prioritize regular physical activity to improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm really concerned because my BP just isn't coming under control. The meds my doctor prescribed, Eslo At and Arkamin, are supposed to be taken twice daily, but my BP's still at 160110. Plus, the medications leave me feeling extremely weak, and I barely have any energy. Arkamin was originally prescribed three times a day, but I found I couldn't manage work when taking it that often, so I spoke with my doctor and now only take it twice a day. What should I do?
