Question 1

I recently had a CT scan because of some abdominal pain I've been experiencing, and I noticed that I was shivering during the contrast. Is this something that's considered normal? Also, I've been taking a 10mg Tryptomer tablet once a day. Could it be related to this? Any insights would be really appreciated.

Question 2

I'm feeling worried because I've been having arm pain alongside chest pain. I've already had an EKG, some blood work, and an X-ray, and all the results were normal except the EKG, which showed some abnormalities. What might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Given your symptoms of arm and chest pain, and abnormal EKG results despite normal blood work and X-ray, possible causes could include: musculoskeletal strain, costochondritis, pericarditis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, the abnormal EKG result warrants further evaluation, so consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out underlying cardiac conditions, such as myocardial bridging, coronary artery spasms, or cardiac syndrome X.

Question 3

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came bac...

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and anxiety following your COVID-19 infection. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol 20mg twice a day. This medication can help reduce palpitations and anxiety by slowing down your heart rate. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

I'm really worried because I had Covid back in November 2020 and even though I got better with home quarantine, I've been having these palpitations. I was on Prolomet XL 12.5 for three months, but it was stopped and I don't have any other health issu...

Based on your history of palpitations post-Covid and your current symptoms of indigestion and mild pain in the heart area, along with normal ECG, 2D ECHO, and 24-hour Holter monitoring results, it is more likely that your symptoms are related to anxiety rather than a cardiac issue. To address your symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, I recommend continuing with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and maintaining a healthy diet. Additionally, you can consider therapy or counseling to help manage your anxiety. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about starting a medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help with anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your doctor regularly.

Question 5

I'm really worried about my husband's blood pressure. He's been taking amlopidine 5mg, but his BP was still 149110. The doctor suggested adding telmac 40mg, and now his BP is around 12185 and 11775. He's not feeling well, though. I'm thinking maybe 4...

It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Telmisartan without consulting your doctor. Telmisartan 40mg is a standard starting dose for hypertension, and it is important to follow your doctor's instructions. If your husband is not feeling well, it is best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
