Question 1

I'm taking medicine for high BP, but I'm having this recurring chest pain, and it's really concerning. On top of that, I'm dealing with severe throat pain, making it hard for me to eat or swallow anything. My blood pressure is all over the place, and I'm not sure what foods I should be eating or what precautions I should be taking. Could you provide some advice on how to handle this situation?

Accepted Answer

An echo and ecg is advised  to the patient..

Question 2

I'm just trying to understand what the next steps are for my treatment based on my recent test results. I'm a 62-year-old woman and my 2D Echo Report shows Mild LVH and Mild diastolic dysfunction, with an LVEF at rest of 50. Thankfully, there are no regional wall motion abnormalities, and my RV contractile function is adequate. The report also notes no pulmonary hypertension or pericardial effusion, and no intracardiac clot or vegetation. My chest X-ray mentions a mild unfolding of the aorta but no pluroparenchymal abnormality. Should I be worried about any of these findings, and what kind of treatment might be necessary?

Accepted Answer

use cardiology

Question 3

So, I was wondering, while I was out trekking recently, my heart rate spiked up to 85% of what my target heart rate is, which is about 185 BPM. During this, I felt a bit of pain on the left side of my neck. Its kind of a pulsating ache, but not too intense, and it seems to improve when I rest. Is this something normal? Ive already done some tests like a blood test showing my cholesterol is in range, an ECG that came back normal with sinus tachycardia, and both an ECHO 2D and TMT that are normal. By the way, Im 26 years old. Can you shed some light on this?

Hello, based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing some muscle strain or tension in your neck, especially since the pain improves with rest. However, given your normal test results and age of 26 years, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. To help with the mild pulsating pain in your left side of the neck, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area to help relax the muscles. Make sure to stay hydrated and practice good posture while trekking to prevent further strain on your neck muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation
