63 years old diabetic one kidney removed and rapid heart rate. ggood ekg good stress test. what else could cause a rapid heart rate.

Question

I'm 40 years old. I have been having severe anxiety for a month with panic attacks. I have just got my period twice in amonth. I get rapid heart rate/pounding but the stress test and EKG were normal. Could this be a hormonal problem?

Answer 1

Rapid heart beat: Multiple cardiac arrythmias causes rapid heart beat. Some times anxiety itself causes rapid heart beat. Consult you physician to get holter monitor or event monitor to identify arrythmias.

Answer 2

You might be at risk: High blood pressure during pregnancy can be managed. Before getting pregnant, it is recommended that your doctor obtain baseline evaluation of your kidneys, eyes, and heart. A well-controlled hypertensive patient can have a healthy pregnancy if problems do not arise during the pregnancy. A heart attack can occur if your blood pressure is not well controlled, and your doctor can help you with this.

Answer 3

Possibly: High blood pressure increase risk of heart attack ... And pregnancy can increase your blood pressure even more ...

Answer 4

Yes - but still rare: Heart attacks during pregnancy were unheard of until 20 years ago. Nowadays, the obesity epidemic and its associated co-morbidities (hypertension, diabetes, advanced age) have made this a legitimate concern, however its incidence is still pretty rare.

Answer 5

Uncontrolled: Hypertension with delivery can lead to coronary dissection...This is rare but would be most common cause of "heart attack" in young pregnant women.

Answer 6

Possibly: Coughing is a symptom and not a condition, therefore there are many possible causes. Heart burn (also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease or gerd) is a possible cause, especially if there are no breathing problems. Other causes include upper respiratory infections, allergies and asthma. Mild asthma can present as a cough without respiratory distress.

Answer 7

Maybe: Some cough is related to heartburn (gerd). But it can be related to other things, depending on the age, time of day, type of cough (dry vs wet), and triggers (after meals? After play?) other things to consider include allergies and asthma. Testing for GERD is tough in little kids - sometimes your doctor may suggest trying some medication to see if it helps.

Answer 8

Ask your specialist: That is a very specific question which can't be answered without a lot of information which we can't share in a forum like this. Seek out an institution and physician team with experience in ocular melanoma. Best wishes!

Answer 9

It all depends: Your question can have many different answers depending on the details of your particular case. I would recommend speaking directly with the doctors involved with your case.

Answer 10

Probably: Unfortunately people with kidney failure almost universally complain of decreased sex drive and problems with erections. This is not as much due to dialysis, but the renal failure itself. Be open and honest with your doctor so they can help you through this. If they cannot, see a urologist or family medicine specialists who is used to helping people with this.

Answer 11

Depends: It will depend more on how effective dialysis is. If you are regimented, and have good catheter function, you should be near baseline.

Answer 12

Damaged muscles: Childbirth can be traumatic to the muscles and nerves surrounding the bladder, vagina and rectum. The nerves can be damaged and small tears in the muscles can lead to prolapse and incontinence is some women. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It is common and fixable.

Answer 13

Yes it can: It is very common for women to experience stress incontinence following delivery. It typically resolves within 3 months. I would encourage you to do kegel exercises daily. I usually suggest 3 sets of 10 squeezes, trying to hold each squeeze for 5 seconds. If it persists beyond this time frame i would encourage you to seek evaluation from your delivering provider.

Answer 14

Pelvic relaxation: Vaginal delivery results in damage to the pelvic support that allows the bladder, urethra, uterus, rectum, and vagina to begin to drop in the pelvis. Some women end up with the pelvic organs dropping out through the opening of the vagina. Some of them will require surgery to repair the damage and decrease the symptoms.

Answer 15

Tissue damage.: As the baby passes through the birth canal it can cause damage to the supportive tissues around the vagina, bladder, urethra and rectum. In time this can lead to mobility in the urethra and leaking urine with certain activities. It can also result in dropping or prolapse of the pelvic organs.

Answer 16

STRESS INC.: The stretching of the bladder neck , sphincter and urethra which all live in the place the baby came out effects it. Kegel excersizes can be very helpful along with other pelvic floor excersizes and rehab.

Answer 17

Tissue damage.: There's a complex system of supportive structures around the bladder, the rectum, the vagina, the urethra and the uterus that provide support to this area. Vaginal childbirth can damage all of these structures. This can result in stress incontinence and other pelvic floor issues like prolapse - when the bladder, the rectum, or the uterus fall down toward or through the vaginal opening.
