I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

My husband recently had an LDL cholesterol reading of 148. I'm really concerned and wondering if that's considered dangerous. What are the normal levels for LDL? Could you suggest some ways to help reduce his LDL? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm really worried because I'm having trouble breathing and there's a tightness in my chest, plus my left hand is hurting. I did an HRCT Thorax and it came back normal, but my ECG shows a poor R wave. I'm attaching the report if you could take a look. My doctor prescribed Defza 24, Moxif 400, and Doxt SL 100, but I'm not feeling any better. I also notice this weird sound in my chest whenever I try to cough, even though no cough is actually coming up. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The HRCT thorax showing normal results is a good sign, indicating that there are no major abnormalities in your chest area. However, the ECG showing a poor R wave may indicate some issues with your heart's electrical activity. The symptoms of breathing difficulty, chest tightness, and left hand pain could be related to cardiac issues. The medications prescribed to you are as follows: 1. Defza 24 (Deflazacort) - This is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the body. The usual dosage is 24 mg per day. 2. Moxif 400 (Moxifloxacin) - This is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. The usual dosage is 400 mg once daily. 3. Doxt SL 100 (Doxycycline) - This is also an antibiotic that is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. The usual dosage is 100 mg once daily. It is important to continue taking these medications as prescribed by your doctor. However, if you are not feeling better and experiencing chest sounds when trying to cough, it is advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. It is possible that additional tests or medications may be needed to address your symptoms effectively.
