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've been taking Tazloc Beta 25 for the last four years because of my high blood pressure and concentric LVH. Lately, I've been feeling dizzy all the time, dealing with weakness, having some erection issues, and frequently experiencing stomach upsets and indigestion. I'm really concerned and would love some guidance on how I can safely stop this medication without any side effects. Or if there are any alternative meds you might recommend?
It's essential to manage your blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) effectively, but experiencing side effects like dizziness, weakness, erectile dysfunction, and digestive issues is concerning. Tazloc Beta 25 combines telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and metoprolol (a beta-blocker). Stopping or changing this medication should only be done under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Here are steps to consider: 1. Consult your doctor: Schedule an appointment to discuss your side effects and the possibility of changing your medication. 2. Gradual adjustment: Your doctor may suggest a gradual reduction in dosage to minimize withdrawal symptoms and avoid a sudden increase in blood pressure. 3. Alternative medications: Your doctor may consider other classes of antihypertensive drugs, such as ACE inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril), calcium channel blockers (e.g., amlodipine), or diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide), which might have different side effect profiles. It's crucial that any changes to your medication regimen are made under medical supervision to ensure your blood pressure remains controlled and to monitor for any potential side effects.

Why does my heart start racing for about an hour after I have lunch or eat a heavy meal? I've been on Concor 1.25 mg for two weeks now. My echocardiogram, ECG, Holter monitor, and cholesterol, including LDL levels, all came back okay. I've been diagnosed with panic disorder, but I'm worried if there's a connection here. Any insights?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of tachycardia after meals. Since your heart tests and cholesterol levels are normal, and you have been diagnosed with panic disorder, the fast heart rate may be related to anxiety or panic attacks. In addition to Concor (Bisoprolol) 1.25mg, you can try taking a medication called Propranolol 10mg as needed to help with the rapid heart rate. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can help control the physical symptoms of anxiety, including tachycardia. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if it is suitable for you and to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.

I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal result yesterday with something about an RBBB block. Is this something serious, and should I head straight to the hospital? Or can I just stick with the medication that was given to me at the health camp?
