I've had all my tests done recently for palpitations, like ECG, echo, and blood work, and everything came back normal. But I still keep getting palpitations, maybe one or two missed beats a month. It's really been stressing me out. What should I do about this?

View allI've been taking medicine for blood pressure for a few years now, and I'm 45. Lately, even short walks or a couple of stairs have been really tough. I used to handle longer walks and more stairs without any issues. I had an ECG done three months ago, and it looked normal. I don't have trouble just going about my day, but my blood sugar is kind of borderline too. I'm wondering what test would be better to figure out what's going onan echo or a TMT?
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it would be advisable to go for a TMT (Treadmill Test) to assess your cardiac function and determine if there are any underlying issues causing your symptoms. TMT is a stress test that helps evaluate how well your heart responds to exertion. It can provide valuable information about your heart's health and function, especially in cases where there are symptoms like shortness of breath and decreased exercise tolerance. It is a non-invasive test that can help in diagnosing any potential heart problems.

My mom had a CABG surgery back in 2013, and now her recent ECG shows something called left atrial abnormality. I'm a bit worried about what this means for her. How serious is this condition, and is it something that can be managed with medication?

So, my dad has been having this burning feeling in his feet and they found out its because of a blockage in the artery in his legs. He also has some kidney problems that we didnt know about because hes had high blood pressure for a long time without knowing it. Now theyre suggesting he gets an angiography done for both his leg and chest, and theyve started him on hypertension meds. Hes super active and has been walking for at least 2 hours every day for years without any issues. Do you think going through with the angiography and possibly angioplasty makes sense for someone his age since he doesnt really show any other symptoms?
Considering your father's age and his active lifestyle, it is important to assess the risks and benefits of angiography and angioplasty. These procedures can help in diagnosing and treating blockages in the arteries, which can improve blood flow to the legs and reduce symptoms like burning sensation in the feet. For someone with a history of undiagnosed hypertension and deteriorating kidney function, it is crucial to manage these conditions to prevent further complications. The hypertension medication prescribed will help in controlling blood pressure and protecting the kidneys. In this case, it would be best for your father to follow the advice of his healthcare provider and undergo the recommended angiography. Based on the results of the angiography, further decisions can be made regarding the need for angioplasty or other interventions. It is important to prioritize his cardiovascular health to maintain his active lifestyle and overall well-being. Additionally, it is essential for your father to continue his regular physical activity, like walking, as it is beneficial for his cardiovascular health. Ensuring a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is key in managing these conditions. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
