I'm curious about homeopathy as a treatment for blocked arteries and was wondering if it's effective? I've also noticed a burning sensation in my feet and hands and I'm scared if it's related. Could you shed some light on this and recommend what I might do?

View allI've been dealing with some pain near my heart, left shoulder, and back for the past three years. Theres a mild problem at C5 C6. I've had a bunch of ECGs and they always come back normal. With these results, do you think I still need an ECO or TMT? I'm just trying to figure out what should be my next steps.
From last 3 years, you have been experiencing pain near the heart, left shoulder pain, and back pain. You mentioned there was a mild disc prolapse in C5-C6. Despite undergoing multiple ECGs, they have all been normal. You are now wondering if an ECO (Echocardiogram) or TMT (Treadmill Test) is necessary. Given your symptoms and history of normal ECG results, it would be advisable to undergo an ECO to further evaluate the structure and function of your heart. An ECO can provide more detailed information that may not be captured by an ECG alone, especially in cases of suspected cardiac issues. Additionally, considering your persistent symptoms and the need for a more comprehensive assessment, a TMT may also be beneficial to assess your heart's response to physical activity. For your situation, I would recommend an ECO to assess your heart's structure and function, and a TMT to evaluate your heart's response to exercise. These tests can provide valuable insights into the cause of your symptoms and help guide further management.

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results showing sinus bradycardia and incomplete RBBB. Can you help me understand what these terms mean? I've been feeling a bit more tired than usual lately; could this have anything to do with it? Should I be looking into more tests or checkups to make sure everything's alright with my heart? Its just a bit unsettling not knowing what to expect.
Sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats at a slower rate than normal, typically less than 60 beats per minute. It is caused by the sinus node in the heart sending electrical signals at a slower pace. Incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a condition where there is a delay in the electrical signal conduction in the right bundle branch of the heart. Symptoms of sinus bradycardia may include dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, confusion, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Incomplete RBBB may not cause any symptoms on its own, but it can be associated with underlying heart conditions. Further tests that may be required for sinus bradycardia and incomplete RBBB include an electrocardiogram (ECG) to confirm the diagnosis, a Holter monitor to monitor the heart's electrical activity over a period of time, an echocardiogram to assess the heart's structure and function, and possibly a stress test to evaluate the heart's response to physical activity. For sinus bradycardia, if symptoms are severe or if the heart rate drops too low, a medication like Atropine or Isoproterenol may be prescribed. In cases where bradycardia is persistent and symptomatic, a pacemaker implantation may be necessary. For incomplete RBBB, treatment is usually focused on managing any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the conduction delay. Medications like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers may be prescribed to help regulate the heart's electrical activity. Remember, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of these conditions.

I'm trying to understand my recent test results. I have Atrial Fib, and although my last stress test didn't show any blockage, there was something like a shadow at the bottom of my heart. What could this shadow mean?
Diagnosis - is atrial fibrillation u can continue medications antiarrythmics,anticoagulants,cardioversion,catheter ablation, beta blocker and calcium channel blockers.
