Hello Doctor,

For BP and diabetes prescribed medicines are Sartel H 40 and Glycephage 1000 mg(M and N) respectively.

Its been nearly one and half year since my previous ECG which did not show sinus tachycardia, this is the first ECG which showed Tachycaardia.

When I am at lie down for more than 30 mins to 1 hr my pulse is coming down between 70 and 80, however when I sit and work, its increasing again.

I have uploaded my recent tests done when I was admitted in hospital, attached ECG report as well.

Thanks and regards,
Arun A

Need not worry

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Sorry for the delay in my response

The reports attached are fine.

Tachycardia in you could have been a temporary response... Its very natural to have increased heart rate in many occasions, anxiety being one example..

I have seen your 2D Echo scan of heart. It is normal and there is no need to worry.
