Question 1

I've been feeling really anxious about my heart lately because I keep having these palpitations and negative thoughts that something might be wrong. I'm 23 and my GP said my echo, ECG, and blood tests came back normal, so they think it's just anxiety and overthinking. But I'm still really worried. Is it possible there could still be an underlying heart issue, or should I trust the tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for a 23-year-old male, a normal echo, ECG, and blood test are usually sufficient to rule out major heart problems. Since your GP has already reassured you that your palpitations are likely due to anxiety and overthinking, you can trust their assessment. To help with your anxiety symptoms, you can take **Xanax (Alprazolam)** 0.25mg as needed. It is important to practice stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, and deep breathing techniques.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom. Lately, she's been feeling these vibrations in her heart every now and then. It sounds strange, but she tells me it happens occasionally. On top of that, she's also been having leg pain for the past few days. Is this ...

Accepted Answer

Your mother's symptoms of occasional heart vibrations, also known as palpitations, and leg pain, could indicate an underlying condition such as arrhythmia, anemia, or poor circulation, and while the medications she's taking, such as Ozone Cynocal LC (iron supplements), Osil Ozone ( omega-3 fatty acids), and Ozocal (calcium supplements), may be helpful, it's essential to consult her doctor urgently to rule out any serious cardiac or vascular issues and adjust her treatment plan accordingly

Question 3

I got over covid a couple of weeks ago, but my heart rate has been up since then. I did an ECG and an Echo test. The Echo came back normal, but the ECG mentioned something about Early Repolarization. Is this something I should be worried about? My he...

Accepted Answer

Early Repolarization on an ECG is a common finding and is usually considered a benign condition, especially in young and healthy individuals. Since your Echo report is normal and your heart rate has decreased from 120 to 100, it is a positive sign. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed. In the meantime, you can focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise routine to support your heart health.

Question 4

I've been really worried about some recent health issues and could use some advice. I had an angioplasty back in 2013 and also dealt with Covid in August '20. Recently, I had some pain in my left arm, so I went to the cardiologist. The ECG came back ...

Accepted Answer

Based on your history of angioplasty in 2013, recent Covid infection, left arm pain, and abnormal test results (homocysteine at 44, triglycerides at 275, B12 at 218), it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health to determine the best course of treatment. Given your elevated homocysteine levels and previous history of angioplasty, it is advisable to undergo further cardiac evaluation. I recommend that you undergo a coronary angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries and determine if there is any significant blockage that may require intervention. In addition to the angiography, it would also be beneficial to optimize your lipid profile and homocysteine levels through lifestyle modifications and medications. Your cardiologist may prescribe medications such as Atorvastatin for cholesterol control, Folic Acid supplements for homocysteine reduction, and lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress, adjust medications as needed, and reduce the risk of a second cardiac event. It is important to prioritize your cardiac health and work closely with your healthcare team to manage your risk factors effectively.

Question 5

So I got my ECG results and there's an RSR pattern showing up in lead 3 only, while everything else seems normal. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal variation? Could you help me understand what this might mean?

Question 6

So, I was wondering, while I was out trekking recently, my heart rate spiked up to 85% of what my target heart rate is, which is about 185 BPM. During this, I felt a bit of pain on the left side of my neck. Its kind of a pulsating ache, but not too i...

Accepted Answer

Hello, based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing some muscle strain or tension in your neck, especially since the pain improves with rest. However, given your normal test results and age of 26 years, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. To help with the mild pulsating pain in your left side of the neck, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area to help relax the muscles. Make sure to stay hydrated and practice good posture while trekking to prevent further strain on your neck muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation
