View allI'm noticing that my heart rate is going above 100-115 from time to time. My blood pressure is normal, but my hemoglobin level is 10.8. About a month ago, I had an ECG done, and it showed sinus tachycardia and IRBBB. But I'm still experiencing a heart rate over 100-115. Should I be worried about this? What might be causing it?
Based on your symptoms and previous ECG findings, you may benefit from taking a beta-blocker medication to help control your heart rate. I recommend you take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and monitoring.

My uncle has been diagnosed with incomplete RBBB and I'm just wondering how serious that is and what we should do about it. He's also been taking Tolol XL 25 mg for the past 10 years. Should he be worried or consider any specific treatments?
Incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed or blocked in the right bundle branch. It is important to monitor this condition regularly as it can sometimes progress to a complete block. In most cases, Incomplete RBBB does not cause symptoms and does not require specific treatment. However, it is important for your uncle to have regular follow-ups with a cardiologist to monitor his heart health. Regarding the medication Tolol XL 25mg that your uncle has been taking for 10 years, it is a brand name for Metoprolol XL. This medication is a beta-blocker that is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, and heart failure. The dosage of 25mg is a common starting dose for Metoprolol XL. It is important for your uncle to continue taking this medication as prescribed by his doctor. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist, monitoring of the Incomplete RBBB, and continued use of Metoprolol XL as prescribed are important steps in managing your uncle's heart health.

The cost of bypass surgery at SMS Hospital in Jaipur typically ranges from ‚Çπ2,50,000 to ‚Çπ4,00,000, according to SMC Insurance. It's advisable to contact the hospital directly to confirm the exact cost, as it can vary based on individual patient needs and the specific procedures involved. Regarding payment options, while the Bhamashah card was previously a scheme, it has been replaced by the Chiranjeevi Yojana, which is a health insurance scheme for families in Rajasthan [Link: according to Policybazaar https://www.policybazaar.com/health-insurance/surgery/heart-surgery-cost-in-india/]. The Chiranjeevi Yojana may cover bypass surgery, but it's best to verify the specific details of your policy and if it covers the procedure at SMS Hospital. You can contact SMS Hospital or the Chiranjeevi Yojana helpline for confirmation.
