I've been noticing that when I exercise at the gym, my heart starts beating really fast, almost like it's racing. It seems to take a bit longer than I'd like for everything to calm down afterward. I had some blood work done, and everything came back normal, including my cholesterol levels. My cardiologist has mentioned that everything seems okay, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Palpitations during exercise can be concerning, even if your cardiologist has given you the all-clear. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before exercising to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine before working out. If the palpitations persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried because my LDL cholesterol level is 187, but all my other tests like ECG, 2D echo, blood, and urine have come back normal. What steps should I take to bring my LDL down?
To lower your LDL cholesterol level of 187, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise. Additionally, you can consider taking medication to help lower your LDL cholesterol. One commonly prescribed medication for this purpose is Atorvastatin, which is taken at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.

I've been taking cardace 2.5 mg after consulting with Dr. Anand Chopda on August 17th. I've been monitoring my readings every morning before taking the tablet, and they are as follows: Aug 19 - 11277, Aug 20 - 11888, Aug 21 - 11883, Aug 22 - 13385, Aug 23 - 13195, Aug 24 - 12693, Aug 25 - 11773. Should I keep taking the cardace at this dosage, or is there a need for adjustment? I'm a bit concerned about these numbers. Any advice on this?
Based on the readings you have provided, it seems like your blood pressure has been fluctuating. However, it is important to note that a single reading may not provide a complete picture. Since you have been advised to take Cardace 2.5 mg by Dr. Anand Chopda, it is important to continue the medication as prescribed. The dosage of Cardace 2.5 mg is usually once daily. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day for best results.
