Question 2

I'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is...

"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."

Question 3

I'm staying home due to the lockdown and have been checking my BP and heart pulse at home for the past four days. My BP is 105 over 572, and my heart pulse rate is 49. Should I be worried, and are there any precautions or steps I can take here at home?

Accepted Answer

Your BP is 10557 and your heart pulse rate is 49. Given your low blood pressure and heart rate, here are some precautions you can take at home: 1. Stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water. 2. Avoid sudden changes in position to prevent dizziness or fainting. 3. Consume a balanced diet rich in nutrients, including foods high in iron. 4. Engage in light physical activities to improve circulation. 5. Monitor your symptoms regularly and seek medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms. 6. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. 7. Ensure you are getting enough rest and sleep to support your overall health.

Question 4

I'm experiencing numbness in my feet and hands, and there's also this burning sensation in my hands. Sometimes they even get really hot. Do you have any idea what's going on?

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could be due to peripheral neuropathy. I recommend taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as Neurobion Forte once daily. Additionally, you can use a topical cream like Volini for relief from burning sensation.

Question 5

I'm a bit worried about my ECG results from a recent preventive health checkup. It mentioned "T inversion in III and aVF" and I'm not sure what that means. My heart rate was 75 bpm, PR interval at 126 ms, and QRS duration at 112 ms. Then, there's the...

Accepted Answer

You have mentioned that you received an ECG impression showing T inversion in lead III and aVF. Your heart rate is 75 bpm, PR interval is 126 ms, QRS duration is 112 ms, QT interval is 358 ms, QTC interval is 402 ms, and the axis values for P wave, QRS wave, and T wave. Based on the information provided, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

The test you may need is called Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This test can help evaluate how well your lungs are working and identify any breathing problems. In the meantime, you can use a bronchodilator inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) as needed for relief. The usual dosage is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath.
