View allI'm feeling pretty anxious because I've had this heavy feeling in my chest since yesterday. I went for an ECG and it showed Tall T waves. Is this something I should be really worried about? I'm attaching my ECGs, and the second one was done an hour after the first. Could this possibly be hyperkalemia because I had a couple of coconut waters and eggs? Would appreciate any clarity on this.
Tall T waves in an ECG can be a sign of hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in the blood. It can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. To lower your potassium levels, you can take medications like Kayexalate to help remove excess potassium from your body. The usual dosage is 15-60 grams orally 1-4 times a day. Additionally, you should avoid high potassium foods like coconut water and bananas. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've just turned 38 and I'm on Eslo 5 mg for my blood pressure. Lately, though, I've noticed my readings creeping up to around 15090. Should I be worried about this, and is there something I should do to get it back under control?
If your blood pressure is consistently high even after taking Eslo 5mg, it may be time to increase your medication. Visit your regular physician for recalibration of anti-hypertensive medication. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise of about 30 minutes everyday and cessation of smokingdrinking may be helpful. Opting for a DASH diet may also help control hypertension.
