Question 1

I'm 36 and dealing with high cholesterol, but my heart checkup in May 2019 was all clear except for that. Just a couple of days ago, I suddenly got dizzy and sweaty during dinner, but I didn't have chest pain or trouble breathing. When I went to the hospital, they did two ECGs a couple of hours apart, and the doctor noticed some changes. They said my blood Troponin levels were negative though. Should I be worried about these changes in the ECG? Is it something I need to look into further?

Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided, it is important to follow up on the changes noted in your ECG to rule out any potential cardiac issues. The presence of dizziness and sweating, along with ECG changes, warrants further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, to help manage your high cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily, as prescribed by your healthcare provider."

Question 2

I've had an echo, ECG, TMT, and blood tests, and everything turned out normal, but I'm still feeling chest pain, sometimes pain in my left hand, and dizziness. Should I do these tests again, or could this all be anxiety-related? I've been through many tests before, and they keep coming back normal. Could this just be anxiety?

Accepted Answer

It's good that your echo, ECG, TMT, and blood tests have come back normal. Chest pain, left hand pain, and dizziness can sometimes be related to anxiety, but it's important to rule out any other underlying medical conditions. Since you have already done multiple tests before, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist to discuss your symptoms and previous test results. They may suggest further evaluation or prescribe medications like Ativan (lorazepam) for anxiety if needed.

Question 3

I'm 35 and I've been having this pain in the middle of my chest since last evening. It feels like it's right in my chest cage and it gets worse when I move around. I'm not having any trouble breathing, which is a bit of a relief. Before this, I had some lower back pain, but that kind of went away on its own. And just last week, I had a stomach infection and took antibiotics like augmentin and medications like pantoprazole and meftal Combiflam based on the symptoms. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest a treatment? I'm a bit concerned about this chest pain.

I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

Yes u can shift to concor 5 mg orally for reduction of BP..
