I'm a bit concerned because I wasn't able to go through with the TMT test since my pulse rate was high at 120. However, my echocardiogram came back normal. Should I be worried about this? Could my anxiety be causing my pulse to be so high?

A high pulse rate of 120 beats per minute can be due to various reasons, including anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Since your echo is normal, it is reassuring regarding your heart function. To address the high pulse rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also help in reducing anxiety-related high pulse rates.

I'm a bit concerned about my latest ECG report and I was hoping you could help me understand it better. The QRS is 74 ms, the QTQTc Baz is 326420 ms, PR is 110 ms, P is 84, and the RRPP is 602600 ms. It also mentions PQrsT at 567627 degrees. Is there anything in there that I should be worried about? I've attached my cholesterol report too, if that helps give a clearer picture.

ECG report shows normal values for QRS duration, QTQtcBaz interval, PR interval, and P wave duration. The PQrsT angles are also within normal range. Based on the ECG report provided, there is no immediate cause for concern. For the cholesterol report, please provide the specific values for total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides for a more detailed assessment.

I'm currently dealing with a blood pressure reading of 10871, which seems pretty normal. I usually take Telpres CT 4012.5 for my high blood pressure and Etizola Beta to manage my anxiety issues. With my blood pressure being in the normal range right now, I'm wondering if I should keep taking my blood pressure meds or if it's safe to stop them?

Your blood pressure is currently within the normal range. It is important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure is normal at the moment. Stopping medication abruptly can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure. However, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication based on your current blood pressure readings. For now, continue taking Telpres CT 4012.5 for your blood pressure.
