I'm a bit worried about my health as I recently got some test results back. My lipoprotein ALPA level is 39.1, and my hemoglobin count is 17.7. I've already done an ECG and a 2D echo, and those reports came back fine. Should I be concerned about these numbers indicating any heart disease, even though the other tests were okay?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your lipoprotein (A) value of 39.1 is within normal range, which is a good sign. A high level of LP(a) is considered a risk factor for heart disease, but your value is not concerning. Your hemoglobin (HB) level of 17.7 is also within normal range. Since your ECG and 2D echo reports are fine, it is unlikely that you have any significant heart disease based on the information provided. It's important to continue monitoring your lipid levels and overall heart health regularly. No specific medication is needed at this point.

View allI'm really concerned about my triglyceride levels, which are over 700 mgdL. Could you advise me on what foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, do you know what kind of medication I should consider?
For high triglyceride levels, it is important to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. You should focus on consuming foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts, can help lower triglyceride levels. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit intake of sugary foods and beverages, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and saturated fats (found in red meat, butter, cheese). It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. As for medication, your doctor may prescribe statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. They may also consider prescribing fibrates such as Fenofibrate or Omega-3 fatty acid supplements to help manage your triglycerides. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make the necessary lifestyle changes to improve your triglyceride levels.

I'm really worried about some readings I found on my report. It says HR82 BPM, QRS DUR99 ms, QTc interval is 411 ms, and PR interval is 122 ms. My resting heart rate is listed as 724 ms QT, and something called QTc 85 QT RR 48 PQRST at zero degrees. I don't quite understand what all these mean. Should I be concerned about my heart health with these numbers?
The information you provided indicates an ECG report showing a heart rate of 82 beats per minute, QRS duration of 99 milliseconds, QT interval of 350 milliseconds, QTc interval of 411 milliseconds, PR interval of 122 milliseconds, RR interval of 724 milliseconds, QTcQT ratio of 85%, and QTRR ratio of 48%. The P wave, QRS complex, and T wave are all within normal limits at 0 degrees. Based on the ECG findings, there are no specific medications recommended. It would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management if needed.

I've been tracking my health stats lately, and my SGPT level has been at 73, SHOT level at 37, and my cholesterol is reading 211 for the past week. I'm really hoping to get these numbers to a normal range in the next 4 to 5 days. Can you give me some advice on how to make that happen?
-It's important to take a gradual approach to improving SGPT, SGOT, and cholesterol levels. In 4-5 days, it may not be realistic to achieve significant changes, but you can focus on a healthy diet, staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regula
