Ive done all the heart tests like ECG and echocardiogram stress test, and everythings come back normal. But I still feel really anxious and notice my heart beating really fast. Should I be worried about this? Is there a chance it could be a sign of a heart attack or something serious?

It's good to hear that your heart tests have come back normal. Your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing a fast heart rate could be related to anxiety. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 20mg as needed to help with the fast heart rate and anxiety. However, if you continue to have concerns or if your symptoms worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Why would a TMT test come back positive if the ECG, Echo, and lipid profile tests are all normal? Do we really need the TMT test in this case? Its a bit confusing.

Ideally its not possible,but there is chance of it turning positive,it records rhythms of your heart when physically excited so its good to get tested

I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I'm really concerned about how blood pressure might affect heart health, especially since I'm diabetic. Can you explain whether high blood pressure or low blood pressure is more likely to lead to heart failure for someone in my situation?

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to the heart working harder to pump blood, which can eventually weaken the heart muscle and result in heart failure. It is important for diabetic patients to manage their blood pressure effectively to reduce the risk of heart failure. For high blood pressure in diabetic patients, medications such as Lisinopril (brand name: Zestril) or Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) may be prescribed. The dosage will depend on individual factors and should be determined by a healthcare provider. On the other hand, low blood pressure (hypotension) is generally not a direct cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. However, extremely low blood pressure can lead to inadequate blood flow to the organs, including the heart, which can be harmful. It is important for diabetic patients to regularly monitor their blood pressure, follow a healthy lifestyle, and take medications as prescribed to manage both high blood pressure and diabetes effectively.
