Question 1

I'm really worried about my blood pressure which is at 13095I've already seen my physician and done a ton of tests like LFT, KFT, and a whole body USG with a renal artery Doppler. Everything came back normal, but they mentioned it's rising for unexplained reasons. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?

Accepted Answer

Given that all tests are normal, your physician may consider your high blood pressure (13095) as "essential hypertension" or "idiopathic hypertension," meaning it has no identifiable cause, and recommend lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep, along with possible medication to manage and control your blood pressure

Question 2

I'm really curious and a bit concerned about something that's been happening to me lately. Every time I finish my lunch, it feels like my heart starts racing more than usual. It's really noticeable, and it only happens after I eat a meal. Just to give you a bit of context, I'm a 53-year-old woman, and I do have a history of thyroid problems. Could this be related, or is there another reason why my heart speeds up after eating?

Accepted Answer

This could be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia, which is a rapid heart rate that occurs after eating. In your case, with a history of thyroid issues, it could be related to thyroid dysfunction affecting your heart rate. I recommend consulting with your doctor to adjust your thyroid medication if needed. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before meals to help control your heart rate after eating.

Question 3

Hey, I went to the hospital today because I've been having really bad chest pain from my GERD. They gave me a Pan injection, but the pain hasnt gone away. The doctor said I should get an ECG done and talk to a cardiologist. But I couldnt see one because of some financial issues, so I had to go home instead. Can someone please look at my ECG report and let me know if everything seems alright or if there's something wrong?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing severe chest pain due to GERD, you can try taking Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can take Antacid syrup like Gelusil after meals for immediate relief from acidity. Make sure to follow up with a cardiologist as advised by your doctor for further evaluation of your chest pain.

I'm getting kind of worried because I've been feeling pretty uncomfortable after eating for a few days now. There's this mild chest pain and a tight feeling around my chest area. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned or is it something normal that might go away on its own?

An ecg is advised.GERD is the probable diagnosis, avoid spicy foods,alcohol etc..Also take pan d orally before food whenever symptoms apper.
