I've been dealing with some symptoms for a few months now, and it's starting to worry me. My heart races sometimes, I find myself short of breath, and occasionally my vision gets a bit blurry. I've also noticed a slight lack of balance and more frequent loose stools. I'm a 36-year-old female, 5'7" and 120 lbs. I try to keep active by walking a lot and exercising regularly. I quit smoking a few years back, but I consume more caffeine and sugar than I probably should. Generally, I think I eat pretty well. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What could be causing them?

Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is important to consider the possibility of an overactive thyroid gland, also known as hyperthyroidism. The symptoms of rapid heart beat, shortness of breath, occasional blurry vision, slight lack of balance, and loose stools can be associated with this condition. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

View allSo, I found out about three weeks ago that I have sinus bradycardia, and my heart rate is 54. I've been doing annual health checkups, and noticed that last year my heart rate was also under 60. Can you help me understand what this all means? Should I be making any changes or taking any steps to address this? I'm pretty curious and a bit worried about what's next for me.
Sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart rate is lower than normal, specifically less than 60 beats per minute. In your case, with a heart rate of 54, it falls into the category of bradycardia. It can be a normal finding in some individuals, especially athletes, but it can also be a sign of an underlying medical issue. To determine the cause and appropriate management of your bradycardia, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include an ECG, Holter monitor, or other cardiac tests. Based on the underlying cause identified, treatment options may include medication or lifestyle modifications. In the meantime, it is important to monitor your symptoms, such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, and seek medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms. Avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise can also be beneficial.

I've been feeling some chest discomfort lately and it's got me a bit worried. Back in 2013, I had an angiography after a positive TMT test, but everything was perfectly clear then. Now, my TMT test has come back positive again. I'm wondering what steps I should take next. Do you think I might need another angiography, or is there another approach I should consider?
If you are experiencing chest discomfort and your TMT test has come back positive again, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Another angiography may be recommended to assess the current status of your coronary arteries and determine the appropriate treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help manage your symptoms.

I've noticed my heart rate usually stays between 80 to 92. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? Just want to know if there's any concern with my heart.
Hi, Heart rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered normal. A heart rate of 80 to 92 falls within this range and is generally not a cause for concern. However, if you are experiencing any other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
