Question 1

I've been worried about my dad because he's been experiencing sudden bouts of heavy sweating and weakness, and this happens almost once a month or sometimes every two months. We got an ECG done, and his blood pressure seems normal according to the tests, but I'm still concerned. What might be causing these symptoms, and which specialist should we consult to make sure it's nothing serious?

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could be indicative of episodes of vasovagal syncope, which can cause sudden heavy sweating and weakness. It is important to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac issues. In the meantime, your father can take Tab. Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg once daily to help manage symptoms.

Question 2

I'm really worried because my whole body seems to vibrate with my heartbeat, and I can actually see it in my stomach and hands. I've done ECGs, two TMTs, and an echo, and they all came back normal. I also feel this pressure on the left side of my chest, plus irritation in my throat that's been going on for more than two weeks now. I'm not sure if I should go for another echo or not. I also have a vitamin D deficiency and am taking weekly sachets for it. Do you think it's necessary to take calcium tablets with it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

I'm 25 and recently had a pre-employment medical check-up where they did an ECG. The person doing the test said it was abnormal, but after doing it again, they mentioned it's not a big deal. I've never had any health issues or needed to see a doctor before, so I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Having an abnormal ECG at a young age like 25 can be concerning, but it doesn't always indicate a serious problem. It's important to follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help reduce the risk of any potential cardiovascular issues.
