"Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and 2D Echo results, as well as the evaluation by a pulmonologist, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart issue or a pulmonary problem. It is possible that your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying down position. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and standing up slowly to allow your body to adjust to the change in position. In some cases, medications like Fludrocortisone or Midodrine may be prescribed to help manage orthostatic hypotension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

Consult a specialist, such as an ENT doctor, rheumatologist, or immunologist, to discuss your elevated ESR (60mmhr) and lymphocytes (45%) levels, and symptoms like sinusitis, headache, shoulder pain, giddiness, and difficulty walking, and they may recommend further tests, such as CRP, ANA, RF, vitamin B12, and MRI or CT scans, to rule out underlying conditions like infections, autoimmune disorders, or neurological issues, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided, it seems like your child has a congenital heart defect with a hole in the heart. In this case, the treatment usually involves medications to manage symptoms and sometimes surgical intervention may be necessary. One common medication used to manage heart conditions in children is **Digoxin**. The usual dosage for a child with a heart condition is 20-35 micrograms per kg per day, divided into 3 doses. It is important to consult with a pediatric cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your child's specific condition. Regular follow-up visits are crucial to monitor your child's growth and heart health.
