So I had my Echo test this afternoon, and it says my pulmonary arteries look normal but mentions I have mild PHT. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) means that there is increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. To manage mild PHT, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) at a dose of 20 mg three times a day. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've noticed something odd with my heart rate. Even though I don't have any family history of heart disease and I'm generally healthy, my heart suddenly races from normal up to 127 to 170 bpm. This happens when I'm just resting or even asleep and can last for 5 to 15 minutes each time. It occurs about 2 to 5 times a day and I've been experiencing this since I was 7 years old. I'm starting to get a bit worried about it. What could be causing this?

I'm currently taking Corbis 1.25 as a beta blocker for blood pressure, and while it seems to be under control, my heart rate sometimes drops to 56 or goes up to 68. I'm feeling dizzy on and off, and I'm worried if this slow heart rate is the reason. Is it okay for me to stop taking my blood pressure medication?
It seems like the beta blocker medication you are taking is effectively controlling your blood pressure, but it may be causing your heart rate to decrease at times, leading to symptoms like dizziness. It is important not to stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor. Instead, you can discuss with your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication that may better suit your needs. In the meantime, if you experience severe dizziness or any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
