I've noticed my heart rate is pretty high, around 110 bpm, even though all my tests like blood work, TMT, and the ECG are normal, with just sinus tachycardia showing up. I don't have any issues when I'm running, but the high heart rate still worries me. I'm really anxious about my heart, and even my blood pressure is normal. Could anxiety be causing this, or is there something else I should consider?

You may be experiencing anxiety-related tachycardia. In such cases, it is important to address the underlying anxiety to help reduce the heart rate. You can try taking propranolol (brand name: Inderal) as needed to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your anxiety and heart rate.

We're confused about the best treatment option should we go for bypass surgery, ECP/EECP, or try those 20 injections the doctor mentioned? They say the injections can clear 50% for sure, and with walking and managing cholesterol, maybe another 30%. What would you suggest is the safest and most effective choice for her?

We've been giving our mom Axcer 90 mg along with other meds like Atocor, Ecospirin, and stuff for her thyroid for about two months now. We're wondering if we could stop the Axcer since we've been on it for a while and honestly, it's just really expensive. We can't keep up with the cost. Is there a cheaper alternative that works just as well? Would love to hear your advice on this.

no do not stop it without doctors advice,as you say you are having affordability issues,ask your doctor for alternate medication
