I've been feeling really off lately, like yesterday before lunch I was sweating a lot and my whole body felt weak, especially my legs. I tried eating some chocolate and rice but I was still sweating. So I went to the hospital and they said my BP was fine, and my GRBS was 153, about 45 minutes after eating. The ECG said sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and short PR interval, but the doctors said everything's normal when they compared it to an old ECG I had. I'm worried because I take Esomac for gastric issues and Cardace for BP, but I've been having mild chest pains almost every day. Ive done tmt echo tests many times and they always come back normal, but Im so anxious about my heart all the time. Now, I get really tired just walking for like 20 minutes. What could be going on?

The ECG from yesterday shows sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and a short PR interval. Given your symptoms of sweating, weakness, and fatigue, along with your history of mild chest pain and anxiety about your heart, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. Since your previous ECGs have been normal, it is reassuring that there are no significant changes at this time. Considering your current medications, Esomac 40mg for gastric issues and Cardace H5 for blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking them as prescribed. To address your concerns about tiredness and anxiety, I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about the possibility of adjusting your medications or exploring other treatment options. In addition, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise within your limits, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new concerns, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

View allMy father-in-law recently had an ECG due to some chest pain, which we thought was from acidity. To our surprise, it showed a coronary blockage. What should we do next? I'm just a bit worried about what the usual procedure is for handling something like this. Any advice would be really appreciated.
The next step would likely be to perform a coronary angiography to further evaluate the blockage in the coronary arteries. Depending on the severity and location of the blockage, the treatment options may include medication such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as a procedure such as angioplasty with stent placement or coronary artery bypass surgery. The specific treatment plan will be determined by the cardiologist based on the findings of the angiography.

I'm 23 and had some tests done recently where my ECG and ECHO came back normal, but my QRS duration was 98ms. I'm kind of worried about whether this might have any implications for my health in the future. Can you explain if this is something I should be concerned about?
QRS duration of 98ms is considered to be within normal limits for adults. It is unlikely to cause any issues in the future. No specific treatment is needed for this. Just continue to follow up with your healthcare provider for routine check-ups.

I'm really worried about the possibility of having plaque in my arteries or if my coronary artery might be narrowing. Could you please tell me what tests I should consider to find this out? I just want to make sure I'm covering all the bases and keeping my heart healthy.
The tests to detect plaque in arteries or narrowing of coronary arteries include: 1. Coronary Angiography: This test involves injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or narrowing. 2. CT Coronary Angiography: This non-invasive test uses a CT scanner to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels to detect any plaque buildup. 3. Stress Test: This test measures the heart's response to physical activity or medication to detect any reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, which can indicate narrowing of the coronary arteries. 4. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS): This test uses sound waves to create detailed images of the inside of the coronary arteries to detect any plaque buildup. 5. Cardiac Catheterization: This invasive test involves inserting a catheter into the coronary arteries to measure blood flow and detect any blockages or narrowing. These tests can help diagnose plaque buildup or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
