I'm a bit concerned about a recent cardiologist appointment where I was suspected of having an ASD. I'm already taking some home remedies like apple cider vinegar and cinnamon. I've heard about another Ayurvedic medicine called Terminalia Arjuna that's quite common in the market. I'm curious if it's safe to take that while I'm still consulting with an allopathic cardiologist. Would it be okay to try?

Terminalia Arjuna is an Ayurvedic medicine commonly used for heart health. While it may have some benefits, it is important to consult with your cardialogist before adding any new medication to your regimen. They will be able to advise you on the safety and potential interactions of Terminalia Arjuna with your current allopathic treatment.

View allI've been noticing that when I'm lying down, I can hear my heartbeat clearly, and it's even visible through my shirt and in my stomach area. At night, while trying to fall asleep, I sometimes feel a sense of fear in my chest and stomach. What could be causing this?
These symptoms could be due to anxiety or stress, which can cause palpitations (feeling of heart beating fast or irregularly), visible pulsations in the abdomen, and a sensation of fear or unease in the chest and stomach. It is important to manage stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques, exercise, and possibly counseling. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker like Propranolol 20mg to help reduce palpitations and visible pulsations. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Why does my doctor want to change my BP medication from Olmesar H 20 to T Nabicar 5Mg? My BP seems under control and my pulse rate is usually between 90-100, though it goes from 100 to 130 during the TMT. My triglycerides are at 201 but all other cholesterol and kidney tests came back normal. They've also suggested I start taking Atorva 10Mg. Can you help me understand if switching to these new meds is the right move?
Based on your doctor's recommendation, it would be advisable to switch from Olmesar H 20 to T Nabicar 5mg for better management of your blood pressure. Additionally, starting Atorva 10mg can help in lowering your triglyceride levels. It seems like a reasonable adjustment to your medication regimen to further improve your cardiovascular health.

I'm experiencing chest pain after every time I have intercourse, and I'm starting to worry. I have RHD, so I'm not sure if this is normal or if it's putting extra pressure on my heart. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Having chest pain after intercourse can be concerning, especially for a patient with Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). It is important to rule out any serious underlying causes for the chest pain. In your case, it is possible that the physical exertion during intercourse is putting extra strain on your heart, leading to chest pain. To help alleviate the chest pain and reduce the strain on your heart, you can take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action.
