I've been having bouts where my heart rate spikes up to 100-105, and I've noticed some mild chest pain with that. When this happens, my heart rate is usually under 100, and my blood pressure is 12680, plus my sugar and thyroid levels are normal. My ECG came back showing sinus tachycardia. Could you guide me on what kind of medicine might help with this?

I cannot view attachments, but given your description of symptomsintermittent high heart rate, mild chest pain, and an ECG showing sinus tachycardiait's important to address these issues carefully. Since your blood pressure and thyroid levels are normal, your symptoms could be related to stress, anxiety, or other non-cardiac causes.

Medications such as beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol) may help manage sinus tachycardia and associated symptoms, but these should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep can be beneficial.

Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan, including whether medication is necessary.

I've been experiencing this sudden sharp pain in the center of my chest for a while now, actually since middle school, about 3 to 4 years ago. Initially, it took me by surprise, but I brushed it off. It happens like 2 to 3 times a month, and I've just kind of lived with it. The thing is, it happens randomlywhether I'm just walking or chilling watching TV. What really caught my attention was that a few days ago, the pain lasted much longer than usual. It's typically 15-20 seconds, but this time, it dragged on for a solid 2-3 minutes. That got me a bit worried. I havent told my parents yet because I feel okay now, but could it be something serious that I should be concerned about? Any ideas on what this chest pain might be would really help.

I'm really concerned about my mom because she's been taking Telmisartan 40 for over a year now. I've noticed she's been feeling fatigued and dizzy, and I'm worried these might be side effects from the medicine. Her blood pressure readings have been normal for a while, so I'm just wondering if it's safe for her to stop taking it?

abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to rebound hypertension; if her blood pressure remains normal, her doctor may consider gradually tapering off the medication or switching to a different treatment, but it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of stopping the medication against the risks of uncontrolled hypertension.
