Question 1

I've been feeling my pulse really strongly all over, like in my head and fingers, for about a year now. I went to see a doctor and he did an ECG, but it came back normal. He said it's not a disease and might just be stress. I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to make this go away. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Accepted Answer

Having a strong pulse that can be felt in various parts of the body can indeed be related to stress. To help reverse this, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation to help reduce stress levels. Additionally, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg once daily) to help lower your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a strong pulse. It's important to continue following up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm dealing with a lot of hyper acidity, and I've noticed I occasionally get palpitations. All my tests like blood work, ECG, and Echo are normal, but these palpitations have me worried. Is it possible that my acid reflux is causing these palpitations?

Question 3

I've been feeling a bit off lately and got a 2D echo. It says I have LV diastolic dysfunction type 1. I'm only 34. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

LV diastolic dysfunction type 1 indicates that the left ventricle of your heart is not relaxing properly during the filling phase. In such cases, it is important to manage any underlying conditions that may be contributing to this dysfunction. Treatment may include medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5-20mg once daily or ARBs like Losartan 25-100mg once daily to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking to support heart health. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.

Question 5

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty in June, and after that, he started having blood clots in his hand and thighs. The doctor thought it might be because of high dosage meds, so they reduced his mg, but now he's also been having bl...

Accepted Answer

The blood coming from your father's mouth could be due to a side effect of the medications he is taking. One common side effect of blood thinners, which are often prescribed after angioplasty to prevent blood clots, is bleeding. I would recommend consulting with the doctor again to discuss this new symptom. It is important to monitor his medication dosage and ensure it is appropriate for him. Additionally, the doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication to help reduce the risk of bleeding from the mouth.

Question 6

I'm feeling extremely worried and tense since April, and it's affecting my breathing. I checked with my GP, did all the tests like thyroid, sugar, hemoglobin, and CBCthey're all normal. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia. I'm on a tapering dose of Metxl ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety along with physical manifestations such as increased heart rate, body heat, sweating, tremors, nervousness, headache, and left arm shoulder pain. Since your recent ECG showed sinus arrhythmia and other tests were normal, it is likely that these symptoms are primarily due to anxiety. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking an anti-anxiety medication such as **Xanax (alprazolam)** at a low dose of 0.25mg as needed for acute episodes of anxiety. Additionally, you can try **Propranolol (Inderal)** at a dose of 10mg as needed to help with physical symptoms like rapid heart rate and tremors. It is important to continue with your tapering dose of **Metoprolol (Metxl)** 12.5 once a week as prescribed by your GP. If your symptoms persist or worsen despite these measures, it would be advisable to follow up with your GP for further evaluation and to discuss the possibility of a referral to a cardiologist for a more detailed heart check-up.
