Question 1

I got an ECG done yesterday and it shows a slight ST depression in V3. Should I be concerned about this? I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable on the extreme left side of my chest, which is why I went for the ECG in the first place. There aren't any other pains or symptoms bothering me. By the way, I took the test about 40 minutes after finishing a workout at the gym - would that have any impact on the results?

Accepted Answer

Slight ST depression on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if you have no other symptoms. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and the timing of the ECG after a workout, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend you take a low dose of Aspirin 75mg for now to prevent any clot formation and consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate when I'm sleeping. At night, it sometimes goes as high as 115 beats per minute, but during the day, it's more like 85 BPM. I don't have any other health conditions right now. Should I be worried about this chan...

Accepted Answer

Heart beat rise during sleep in night up to 115 beats per minute is known as nocturnal tachycardia. This can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since you do not have any other existing conditions, I recommend monitoring your caffeine intake and practicing relaxation techniques before bedtime. If the issue persists, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol, starting with a low dose of 25mg once daily in the morning. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Question 5

I'm really worried about my aunt who's dealing with hypertension. Her blood pressure was really high at 190110 during her echo testing. The echo report mentioned things like AO 30mm, LA 40mm, EF 60%, and LVIDd 40mm, among others. She was diagnosed wi...

Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided, your aunt's CVH (Cardiovascular Hypertension) condition is concerning due to her high blood pressure of 190110. However, with proper management and the prescribed blood pressure tablets, her current blood pressure of 13185 is within a better range. To help control her blood pressure and potentially improve her CVH, the doctor may have prescribed medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to be taken daily. These medications can help lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on the heart. In terms of the severity of her CVH, it is considered mild at this stage with grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction). With continued management of her blood pressure and overall health, there is a possibility that the CVH can be reversible over time. Remember to monitor her blood pressure regularly, take the prescribed medications as directed, follow a healthy lifestyle, and attend follow-up appointments with her doctor for further evaluation and management of her condition.

Question 6

I've done all the tests like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal, but I've been having this pain on my left side of the chest for a month now. I'm worried because it feels like it might be leading up to a heart attack. Could it still...

Accepted Answer

Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, your chest pain may not be related to a heart attack. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once a day to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial.
