View allI'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.
Ent opinion.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had bypass surgery back in September 2022, and every now and then she gets this angina-like pain near the stitches in her chest. It's really unsettling. Plus, she's dealing with type 2 diabetes and thyroid issues too. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what we should do about it?
It is important to manage angina pain effectively, especially after bypass surgery. I recommend she takes Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The dosage is usually 0.3 to 0.4 mg every 5 minutes for up to three doses. Additionally, she can take Aspirin to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. The usual dosage is 81mg to 325mg once daily. Since she is diabetic, it's crucial to control her blood sugar levels. She can take Metformin to help manage her diabetes. The usual starting dose is 500mg or 850mg once daily with meals. For her thyroid condition, she can continue taking Levothyroxine to regulate her thyroid hormone levels. The dosage will depend on her TSH levels as determined by her doctor.

I've been going through my routine check-up results, and my ECG report mentions sinus tachycardia with some changes in the ST-T section. I'm a 29-year-old guy, and aside from some allergy issues, I don't have any chronic health problems. Should I be worried about these results? Is it considered normal, or is it something I need to look deeper into?
Sinus tachycardia is a normal increase in heart rate that is often a response to exercise, stress, or illness. In your case, since you have mentioned that you have no known chronic diseases other than allergy problems, it is important to consider other factors that may be causing the sinus tachycardia. The changes in the ST-T segment could be indicative of various conditions, such as myocardial ischemia or electrolyte imbalances. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of beta-blockers such as Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Additionally, monitoring your electrolyte levels and ensuring proper hydration may also be beneficial.
