Question 3

I've done an ECG, echo, and TMT test recently, and while everything seems normal, I'm still feeling this burning or electric shock sensation in my left arm, neck, shoulder, and back. Sometimes it feels like my chest is being pinched, and it seems lik...

Accepted Answer

The tests you mentioned (ECG, echo, TMT) are typically valid for a short period of time, usually a few days to weeks. Since your symptoms are persisting despite normal test results, it's important to consider other possibilities. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or acid reflux, which can sometimes mimic heart-related issues. To help with the burning sensation in your left arm, neck, shoulder, and back, as well as the feeling of something stuck in your throat, you can try taking antacids like **Tums** (dosage: 2 tablets as needed) for relief. For the chest discomfort and palpitations, you can take **Atenolol** (dosage: 25-50mg once a day) to help with the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a cardiologist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek further medical advice for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Question 4

I'm really worried because my diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90 or higher, even though my systolic is usually between 120 and 130. I've had a renal scan and tests for creatinine and urine protein, and everything came back normal. What could...

Accepted Answer

Given your high diastolic blood pressure (90+ mmHg) and normal systolic pressure (120-130 mmHg), along with normal renal scan, creatinine, and urine protein results, consider lifestyle modifications to manage blood pressure: increase physical activity, reduce sodium intake, follow the DASH diet, manage stress through relaxation techniques, get adequate sleep (7-8 hours), and maintain a healthy weight

Question 5

I'm really concerned about my triglyceride levels, which are over 700 mgdL. Could you advise me on what foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, do you know what kind of medication I should consider?

Accepted Answer

For high triglyceride levels, it is important to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. You should focus on consuming foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts, can help lower triglyceride levels. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit intake of sugary foods and beverages, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and saturated fats (found in red meat, butter, cheese). It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. As for medication, your doctor may prescribe statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. They may also consider prescribing fibrates such as Fenofibrate or Omega-3 fatty acid supplements to help manage your triglycerides. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make the necessary lifestyle changes to improve your triglyceride levels.

Question 6

I recently got my routine health checkup results back, and the ECG report mentioned something about "ST-segment elevation lateral" and "borderline ECG." I'm not really sure what that means, and it's got me a bit worried. Could you help me understand ...

Accepted Answer

ST-segment elevation on an ECG can indicate a potential heart issue, such as myocardial infarction or heart attack. The lateral aspect refers to the left side of the heart. A borderline ECG means that the findings are not definitively abnormal but may warrant further investigation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.
