I'm worried about my pulse rate, which tends to be pretty high, between 100 and 120, and sometimes even hits 130 or more. I just got over dengue and noticed my pulse was between 90 and 110 during that time. Should I see a cardiologist right away, or ...

Accepted Answer

It is important to monitor your pulse rate closely, especially after recovering from dengue. A persistently high pulse rate can be a sign of an underlying issue that may need medical attention. In your case, since your pulse rate is consistently high and has even increased after recovering from dengue, it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist sooner rather than later. The cardiologist can evaluate your condition, perform any necessary tests, and recommend appropriate treatment. It is better to address any potential concerns promptly to ensure your heart health is optimal.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you're on the right track. A positive TMT (Treadmill Test) suggests that there may be reduced blood flow to the heart, and an angiogram is a standard follow-up to check for any blockages. It is possible that an angiogram might show no significant blockages; sometimes TMT results are positive due to other factors. Angiograms are generally safe, but they do carry minimal risks, such as bleeding, infection, or, rarely, an allergic reaction to the dye used.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice, but in general, individuals with left atrium hypertrophy and costochondritis can usually continue playing football or engaging in strenuous physical activity. However, it is essential to monitor your symptoms closely and avoid activities that worsen your condition. For left atrium hypertrophy, medications like Losartan or Amlodipine may be prescribed to manage blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. For costochondritis, over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen or Naproxen can help alleviate discomfort. Remember to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and listen to your body during physical activity.
