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'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure was already high at 160100, and she's just started taking Metosartan 50 mg this morning. But now her blood pressure has spiked even higher to 180113. Plus, she's got a headache and chest congestion. Could you help me understand why her BP might be going up despite the medication?
It is possible that her body is still adjusting to the new medication. However, these symptoms could also be indicative of a hypertensive crisis. I recommend seeking immediate medical attention to address her elevated blood pressure. Additionally, it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

So I got my ECG results and there's an RSR pattern showing up in lead 3 only, while everything else seems normal. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal variation? Could you help me understand what this might mean?

I'm really concerned because I've been having upper back and chest pain along with shortness of breath for the last 10 months. Sometimes my heart palpitations get really intense. There's also this pain in my left chest that travels down to my left hand. Ive done multiple ECGs, a 2D Echo, and a treadmill test, and everything came back normal. My LDL was high at 276 but it's under control now. I also checked in with a lung doctor and even got an X-ray, which was also normal. What puzzles me is that I have no trouble when doing activities like cycling, swimming, or walking. No doctor has been able to pinpoint what's going on, so I'm really looking for some guidance. Any ideas on what could be causing these symptoms?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your heart and cardiovascular system. Given that your ECG, D Echo, and TMT tests have come back normal, but you are still experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations, it may be worth considering a medication like **Atorvastatin** to help further control your LDL levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues. Additionally, considering your symptoms, a medication like **Metoprolol** can help in managing heart palpitations and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss these medication options and determine the appropriate dosage for your specific condition.
