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 if this is something serious or just a minor issue?

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.

View allI'm 27 and dealing with a bit of high BP, around 14082. I'm planning to have intercourse for the first time and I'm worried about how it'll go. I consulted a sexologist who suggested taking Duralast 30 mg once a week to help increase the duration of the act. He mentioned it's safe even with my high BP, but I'm still a bit unsure about it. Is it really okay to use this with my condition?
It's understandable to have concerns, especially with your blood pressure in mind. Duralast (which typically contains dapoxetine) is generally safe for most people with high blood pressure when used as prescribed. However, it's always important to follow your doctor's advice closely and monitor your BP regularly. If you experience any issues, don't hesitate to consult your doctor again.

I'm really concerned because my heart beat rate has been around 100-110 bpm throughout the day, but when I'm resting, like right after I wake up, it's at 80 bpm. Are these numbers something I should be worried about? Ive had an ECG treadmill test and an electrolyte test, and my doctor said they were all normal. I'm still worried, so what should I do about this high heart rate?

I'm a bit concerned about my mom's heart condition. She had an angina PCI a few years ago and had two stents placed in her LAD and RCA. After five years, her doctor stopped clopidogrel and now she's only on aspirin and atorvastatin. I'm just wondering, does this sound right to you? Should we be worried about taking her off clopidogrel? Would love some advice on this.
Clopidogrel and atorvastatin both do the same action that it control the lipid profile. So if she is taking aspirin and atorvastatin, i don't think there is a problem. It's perfect. No need to take both atorvastatin and clopidogrel.
