It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as fast heart rate and tremors. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness meditation can also be helpful in managing anxiety symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been monitoring my heart rate for the past year, and it's consistently around 110 beats per minute every day. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I consider visiting a doctor to get it checked out?

A heart rate of 110 beats per minute may be considered high, especially if it is consistently elevated. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your heart rate by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises. If the high heart rate persists, a doctor may prescribe medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.

I'm 19 years and 8 months old and this morning I almost fainted. I went to a clinic and the doctor checked my BP, which was 1690 mmHg. They said it's really high. I'm worried and I want to understand how serious my condition is and what precautions I should be taking right now. What steps should I follow to manage this?

Your blood pressure reading of 16090 mmHg indicates that you have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make some lifestyle changes to manage it. Here are some precautions you can take: - Start with lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium, saturated fats, and cholesterol. - Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. - Maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises or yoga. - Ensure you get an adequate amount of sleep each night. - Consider medication if lifestyle changes are not enough to control your blood pressure. Your doctor may prescribe medications such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Hey there, so my wife had some trouble breathing last Sunday night. We managed to see a doctor by Tuesday, and after doing an ECG, we found out theres this change called ischemia. The doctor said it's not serious and not to worry, and we even did an echo which turned out normal. But they still prescribed ecosprin tabs, and now I'm a bit confused. Is this something I should be really worried about, or can I take it easy since the doc said it's normal? Could this become a serious issue down the line? Is it one of those things that just come and go, or might it stick around for life? She's only 35, and we have no family history of heart problems, so what's up with this? What should we do to make sure her heart stays healthy?

1. The doctor's assessment that the ischemia shown on the ECG is not serious and normal is reassuring. Ecosprin (Aspirin) is commonly prescribed to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and continue taking the medication as prescribed. 2. As per the current evaluation and prescription of ecosprin, the likelihood of serious issues later should be reduced. However, it is essential to follow up with regular check-ups and adhere to any further recommendations from the doctor. 3. Ischemia can be a temporary or chronic condition depending on the underlying cause. In this case, since the echo was normal and the doctor reassured that everything is okay, it may not necessarily be a lifetime disease. However, ongoing monitoring and lifestyle modifications may be necessary. 4. The presence of ischemia at the age of 35 without a family history of cardiac issues raises the importance of evaluating other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity. These factors can contribute to the development of heart conditions at a younger age. 5. Since there is no known cardiac history in the family, it is crucial to focus on lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and attending follow-up appointments with the doctor for monitoring. 6. Precautions that can be taken include following a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress levels, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption,
