Question 1

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Question 2

I'm really confused because my Echo and ECG tests came back normal, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. I'm a GERD patient, and whenever these palpitations hit, I get really nervous. What could be causing this, and is there anything I shou...

Accepted Answer

Palpitations despite normal Echo and ECG in a GERD patient could be due to acid reflux irritating the vagus nerve, leading to palpitations. In such cases, managing GERD effectively can help reduce palpitations. You can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for GERD.

Question 3

I'm curious about whether there's a connection between having a hysterectomyspecifically when the ovaries are still healthyand the potential for heart-related issues down the line. Can you shed some light on this for me?

Accepted Answer

The removal of the uterus, known as a hysterectomy, is not directly correlated with an increased risk of heart-related diseases in the future, as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. However, there may be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease if both the uterus and ovaries are removed before natural menopause, due to the sudden decrease in estrogen levels. If the ovaries are intact and functioning normally after a hysterectomy, the risk of heart-related diseases is not significantly increased.

Question 4

I'm a bit puzzled about my blood pressure readings. I got a TMT, ECG, and blood tests for my heart, and everything came back normal. But sometimes when I check my BP, the first reading is 15090, and then right after, it drops to 13090. It's happened ...

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, blood pressure readings can vary due to factors such as stress, anxiety, or even the environment in which the measurement is taken. This is known as white coat hypertension. To help manage this issue, you can try practicing relaxation techniques before getting your blood pressure checked. Additionally, you may consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I'm really worried because my ECG report says "old lateral infarct sinus rhythm." I'm not sure what that means exactly. Could you help me understand it? Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?

Accepted Answer

The ECG report indicating an old lateral infarct means that there was a previous heart attack that affected the lateral (side) part of the heart. Sinus rhythm refers to the normal heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you may be prescribed medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce the workload on the heart. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.
