I've been noticing for the past 4 years that my heart occasionally skips a beat or flutters, but it's been happening much more frequently lately. It gets me really anxious each time, even though I dont have any other symptoms apart from the anxiety. Can you guide me on what might be going on?

View allI'm trying to understand what it means when there's a regional wall motion abnormality detected in an echocardiogram. Is this something related to ischemic heart disease? What does that imply for my heart health? I'm feeling a bit anxious about all this and would appreciate some clarity.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 68 and the doctors said he has an enlarged heart. His heart rate is just 20 right now, and he had bypass surgery 4 years ago. There haven't been any problems recently, but after an echo test, they noticed his heart has gotten bigger. What should we do next?
Enlarged heart, also known as cardiomegaly, can be a serious condition, especially in individuals with a history of heart surgery like your father. A heart rate of 20 beats per minute is extremely low and can be life-threatening. It is important to seek immediate medical attention in such cases. In this situation, your father may need a pacemaker to regulate his heart rate and prevent complications. Additionally, medications such as Metoprolol or Carvedilol can be prescribed to help manage his heart condition and prevent further enlargement of the heart. The dosage will depend on his specific health status and needs, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm currently taking Corbis 1.25 as a beta blocker for blood pressure, and while it seems to be under control, my heart rate sometimes drops to 56 or goes up to 68. I'm feeling dizzy on and off, and I'm worried if this slow heart rate is the reason. Is it okay for me to stop taking my blood pressure medication?
It seems like the beta blocker medication you are taking is effectively controlling your blood pressure, but it may be causing your heart rate to decrease at times, leading to symptoms like dizziness. It is important not to stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor. Instead, you can discuss with your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication that may better suit your needs. In the meantime, if you experience severe dizziness or any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
