Question 1

I'm having these weird palpitations and transient jerks in my chest that last for a couple of seconds. They seem to happen randomly, and it's really unsettling because it feels like my heart stops during those moments. I exercise regularly and don't feel any chest pain, which is odd. My ECG, 2D ECHO, and HOLTER ECG came back normal, so now I'm left wondering. Could I have some kind of cardiac blockage? Are these jerks something I should worry about, like signs of a potential cardiac arrest or another serious heart issue? If it's none of those, what could possibly be causing these sensations?

Accepted Answer

Based on your normal ECG, 2D ECHO, and HOLTER ECG reports, it's unlikely that you have cardiac blockage or are at risk of cardiac arrest; the transient jerks and palpitations could be caused by benign conditions such as premature atrial contractions (PACs), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), anxiety, stress, caffeine, or dehydration; to better understand the cause, consider consulting a cardiologist for further evaluation,

I'm really confused about my ECG results. It said there was a downslope in the ST segment and T wave inversion, and they mentioned something about infero-lateral ischaemia. When I went for a pre-employment medical exam, I had an echocardiogram and a ...

Accepted Answer

the ST segment downslope and T wave inversion indicate infero lateral Ischaemia. Since you have already undergone an ECHOCARDIOGRAM and color Doppler test, and the doctor mentioned that there is nothing to worry about, it is likely that the Ischaemia is not severe and does not require immediate medication. However, it is important to follow up with regular check-ups to monitor your heart health. If you experience any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

It is important for your father to continue taking his prescribed medications and follow the doctor's diet chart to reduce the risk of blockage in the blood vessels. To further prevent blockage, the following medications are commonly prescribed after angioplasty: 1. Antiplatelet agents such as Aspirin or Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 2. Statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to lower cholesterol levels - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 3. ACE inhibitors or ARBs to control blood pressure and improve heart function - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 4. Beta-blockers to reduce the heart's workload and lower blood pressure - Dosage as per doctor's prescription Regular follow-up appointments with the cardiologist are also important to monitor your father's heart health and make any necessary adjustments to his treatment plan.
