Suggest treatment for excessive sweating and rapid heart rate
Patient: Thank you. My PCP diagnosed me with a medical term I am unable to discern from her handwriting. My chief complaint is excessive sensitivity to heat, rapid overheating with symptoms of excessive sweat from head (dripping) and my upper torso gets so hot and sweaty too. I am prone to break a sweat even doing light house cleaning or sitting at my work desk if I feel, the room is too warm. What I can make out of the Dx looks like hyperlyd?? . Can you possibly assist me with the Dx name she wrote down? Any assistance would be helpful. I have also attempted to locate the condition in my EHR but cannot locate it. I am writing a letter and need to be able to correctly spell and identify my given Dx. Thank you SO much! Doctor: Hi welcome to HCM.I understand your query and concern.Your symptoms are suggestive of arrhythmias of heart secondary to anxiety.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics,betablockers,pantoprazole will help.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.One pomegranate and apple a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation.Continue your present medication without stopping. Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management.Post your further queries if any.Thank you.
