I'm feeling a bit worried because all my tests like ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram came back normal, but I'm still having symptoms every day. Could it be microvascular angina or maybe spasms in my arteries, or is it something else entirely?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Based on your normal test results and everyday symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing microvascular angina or spasms in the arteries. In such cases, medications like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be helpful in relieving symptoms. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed. Additionally, medications like Calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine can also be prescribed to help with vasospasms. The typical dosage for Amlodipine is 5 to 10 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about my lipid profile results. My triglycerides and total cholesterol are both at 172, VLDL is 95.5, and HDL is 42. Plus, my TMT test showed ischemia. I'm experiencing some issues with my body. What kind of treatment should I consider? Would really appreciate your advice on this.
based on your lipid profile results and the presence of ischemia on your TMT test, it indicates that you have high levels of VLDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. To help improve your lipid profile and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues, I recommend the following treatment: - Start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) 20mg once daily to lower your total cholesterol levels. - Add Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) 145mg once daily to specifically target and lower your triglyceride levels. - Increase your intake of Omega-3 fatty acids by consuming foods like fatty fish or consider taking Omega-3 supplements. - Make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking. For your body problems, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really worried about some ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing. After a rod hit me in the chest back in November 2015, I had a brief issue with my breathing, which seemed to get better. But then, by February 2016, I started having severe chest pain. I got checked at CMH Narayana Hrudayalaya to see if it was related to my heart, but everything came out fine. This pain keeps coming back, and it's like a muscle pull behind my rib cage. Could this be a problem with my heart or even my lungs?

I've noticed my grandma's pulse tends to skip beats every now and then. She's in her eighties and seems pretty frail. Should I be worried about this?
Skipped pulses can be concerning, especially in older adults. It is important to have your grandma evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, she may benefit from taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow. Additionally, she should ensure proper hydration and electrolyte balance.
