What could be the cause of rapid heart rate?
Patient: hi I hear my heart rate in my right ear., all the time it even wakes me up. I have been on high blood presure meds. I have tryed relaxing the musles. I have gone to a ear doctor we have put in tubes. nothing. went too a nother doctor and found out I have tintes heart rate one. I really need some help it driving me nutssss. Doctor: Hi,  Ecotrin (low dose Aspirin) is prescribed to prevent blood clots in the heart vessel to avoid a heart attack. It doesn't influence cholesterol levels. For lowering cholesterol levels specific medications are used called statins.   If your husband underwent a stress test and it was positive for ischemia, he should be referred for coronary angiography. It is a specific investigation to image heart vessels and found which one is blocked that causes ischemia, if such a vessel is found, then the doctor opens it.   I would advise you to talk to your doctor and discuss further steps and coronary angiography.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
