I just got my ECG results back from a health check-up, and it's showing a Left Axis Deviation. I've never had any BP problems, and my blood pressure during the exam was 13080. What could be causing the Left Axis Deviation? Should I be worried about it?

I experienced a sudden jerk in the left side of my chest while I was sleeping at night. My ECG came back normal. What should I do next?

It is possible that the sudden jerk in your left side chest could be due to muscle spasm or a benign condition. However, if you continue to experience this sensation or if it is associated with other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5-10mg as needed for muscle spasm.

I've been tracking my blood pressure, and back in October, it was around 180100, but now it's dropped to 13080. I've been taking Telvas 3D, and I'm wondering if I should keep using it or maybe switch to something else. Why does my blood pressure keep changing so much?

Your blood pressure has improved significantly from 180100 in October to 13080 this month while taking Telvas 3D. This variation in blood pressure can be due to various factors such as stress, diet, physical activity, and medication adherence. It's great to see that your current medication is helping to lower your blood pressure. There is no need to change your tablets if your blood pressure is well controlled with Telvas 3D. This medication is a combination of Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide, which work together to help lower blood pressure. The usual dosage is one tablet once daily, but it's important to follow your doctor's recommendations regarding dosage adjustments. Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly and continue with a healthy lifestyle to maintain good blood pressure control. If you have any concerns or notice any unusual symptoms, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing moments when my pulse rate shoots up to 200 or more, and it lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. Can you help me understand why this is happening?

A pulse rate of 200 and above for 4 to 5 hours can be a sign of a serious medical condition called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). SVT is a rapid heart rate that starts in the upper chambers of the heart. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, or underlying heart conditions. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience such high and prolonged heart rates. The medication that can be used to help control SVT includes medications like Adenosine or Verapamil. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by a healthcare professional based on your individual case.
