I just had a EKG and was told it was Myocardial Infarction. I have had rapid heartbeat, sweating, fatigue but still not sure what to take to slow my heart rate.BP has been 174/118 but after resting it can be 150/101? I was sent by my Gym to go see a doctor asap. Because they checked my bp.
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor. Your ECG report mentions myocardial infarction which means you have probably sustained a heart attack. The machine may sometimes interpret the ECG wrong, but in view of your symptoms like fast heart rate, high blood pressure, sweating, fatigue there is a definite suspicion of a heart attack. So rather than measures to lower the heart rate, you must see your cardiologist at the earliest and get evaluated with a 2d echo and should be started on medications like blood thinners, cholesterol lowering medications, BP medications and heart rate medications. Please see a cardiologist ASAP. Wishing you good health. Regards.
