I am a 31 year old male, 6'4, 195lbs. I visited a cardiologist in April because of palpitations during exercise. I had an echo done: trace mitral and tricuspid inefficiency, EF 53%, borderline global hypokinesis (my left ventricular motion is borderline reduced, but structurally normal), sinus tachycardia (I was nervous and I have anxiety). I had a stress test: Duke treadmill score of 12.5, no significant ischemic ECG changes, resting ECG nonspecific ST wave abnormalities, my HR was high the whole time but maxed out at 203. I am also hypertensive. Overall, the doctor said I was fine, he put me on 10mg of Ramipril for my BP. Two months later I went the emergency room with palpitations during exercise. Chest x-ray was fine, blood chemistry was fine: sodium 139, potassium 3.6. During the palpitations I stopped running, in front of my house, and took my blood pressure 189/105. This time my cardiologist put me on an event monitor. During the 30 days I had a few PVC's. He said that was all, but when I flipped through the readings, I also spotted an atrial contraction and narrow complex tachycardia (that occurred while I was running). My cholesterol came back fine: total 175, HDL 51, LDL 98. I told him that my diastolic sometimes reads high, and my systolic was high in the office, so he put me on 12.5mg of HCTZ, wants me back in 30 with blood chemistry. Yesterday I was walking vigorously: HR was around 135, bp was 175/101 after I stopped, I felt very anxious. Is narrow complex tachycardia equivalent to SVT? If so why didn't he mention it, is it normal for exercising? Why is my diastolic bp so unstable; I use the machine while standing; is it less accurate standing, and right after jogging? Am I going to need more tests, or am I being overly anxious about all of this? I honestly am thinking that I might be a hypochondriac and am considering therapy, I have anxiety issues, but at the same time am worried that something really is wrong.
