I've been feeling really anxious and out of breath for the past month. This breathlessness sticks with me all day and seems to come and go unpredictably. My ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Could this be causing my anxiety and breathing issues? I'm really worried about what this means and could use some guidance.

If your symptoms are persistent or worsening, or if you experience severe breathlessness, chest pain, or dizziness, please seek immediate medical attention, as these could be signs of a more serious underlying condition that needs to be addressed.
In conclusion, while your sinus tachycardia may be related to anxiety and stress, its crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes and to manage your symptoms effectively.

View allHow do I know if my chest pain is serious?
Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note, if chest pain is associated with heart burn, abdominal bloating, belching then it may be due to gastritis which may be managed at home. If chest pain is sudden, radiating to left arm/ shoulder and is associated with sweating, breathing issue then it may be due to a cardiac condition which needs immediate hospital visit.

I'm really worried about my brother Jiten, who was in the cardiac care unit recently. He's just 28 and now that he's home, his blood pressure keeps dropping in the evening, and he starts vomiting. After that, his skin turns pale and he experiences pain in his right calf. I'm also noticing that he's coughing a bit. The hospital stay was stable after his procedure with the AICD implant, but I'm worried about these symptoms popping up. His meds include things like concor, aldactone, and levoflox among others. Could you advise on what might help him recover better and keep these symptoms in check?
To address the symptoms of low blood pressure, vomiting, pale skin, calf pain, and cough, the following adjustments can be made to the medication regimen: 1. **Low Blood Pressure and Vomiting**: Given the symptoms of low blood pressure and vomiting, it is important to review the medications that may be contributing to these side effects. In this case, Dytor 10mg (Torsemide) is a diuretic that can lower blood pressure and cause electrolyte imbalances leading to vomiting. It may be advisable to reduce the dosage of Dytor or consider an alternative diuretic. 2. **Pale Skin and Calf Pain**: The symptoms of pale skin and calf pain could be indicative of poor blood circulation. To address this, it is important to ensure adequate hydration and blood flow. Aldactone 25mg (Spironolactone) can sometimes cause electrolyte imbalances leading to symptoms like calf pain. Monitoring electrolyte levels and adjusting the dosage of Aldactone may be beneficial. 3. **Cough**: If the cough persists, it may be related to heart failure or respiratory issues. Dapaone 10mg (Dapagliflozin) is a medication used to treat heart failure. However, if the cough is persistent and bothersome, a review of the medication regimen and potential respiratory evaluation may be necessary. 4. **Overall Recommendation**: Considering the symptoms described, it may be beneficial to consult with the healthcare provider who prescribed the medications. Adjustments in medication dosages or alternative medications may be necessary to address the symptoms of low blood pressure, vomiting, pale skin, calf pain, and cough effectively. Please note that any changes to the medication regimen should be done under the supervision and guidance of a healthcare professional. Regular monitoring and follow-up with the healthcare provider are essential for optimal management of these symptoms.

I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?
That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.
