My sister's pulse rate is around 120, and she's feeling dizzy. Is this cause for concern? Should we see a doctor, or could this be something normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A high pulse rate of 120, especially when accompanied by dizziness, should not be ignored. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg to help lower her heart rate. Make sure she rests and stays hydrated.

View allMy dad is 62 and has been having some real trouble with his breathing. After seeing a doctor, the breathing got a bit better, but he's still coughing a lot. A month later, something strange happenedhe was in bed and suddenly gas was coming out of his mouth, and he had chest pain at the same time. After using the toilet, he felt a little better. Now he's in a hospital in Siliguri, and the doctors there say his heart is a bit weak. I'm thinking about consulting with doctors in South India, but I'm a bit lost on where to go. I heard CMC Vellore has long wait times, and Apollo Chennai is a bit too pricey for us. Can you help suggest the best hospital and doctor in the south for his situation?

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for a few weeks now. Sometimes it spreads to my left arm and upper back, which is really scary. I've noticed that my heart's been beating really fast a couple of times this month, and when that happens, I start sweating and feel hot all over. I actually thought I might be having a heart attack. I went ahead and had an ECG done, and it says sinus tachycardia and nonspecific t abnormalities in the inferior leads. Should I be concerned about this? Also, I've taken medication for depression beforecould that be connected somehow?
sinus tachycardia in ecg , u need to take treatment for that which includes betablockers ,calcium channel blockers,cardiac opinion is advised

I'm really worried about whether cardiophobia could actually lead to a heart attack. I've been dealing with this fear since last year. I did a TMT test back then, and everything came back normal, but I'm still having chest pain and feeling really fatigued. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?
"Cardiophobia, which is the fear of heart disease, can cause symptoms such as chest pain and fatigue due to anxiety and stress. It is important to manage your anxiety to alleviate these symptoms. In your case, since you have already done a TMT test last year which was normal, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart attack. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and management plan. In the meantime, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam at a low dose of 0.5mg to help with your anxiety symptoms."
