I'm really concerned about my dad's recent medical tests. His ECG showed something about an aVF T Wave abnormality, but then he got a 2D echo, and it came back normal. I'm just trying to understand why one test would show something abnormal and the other wouldn't. Could this mean something serious?

I'm taking Supradyn multivitamins, and I've been having some chest pain and noticing my hair getting thinner. Do you think I should stop taking these tablets?

Consult with a healthcare provider to assess your symptoms, and consider stopping the supplement temporarily to see if the chest pain or hair thinning improves. If necessary, they can recommend a different course of action, including alternative supplements or tests.

I'm dealing with a pretty fast heartbeat most of the time, usually between 100 to 115 beats per minute, and I often feel weak. My oxygen levels are fine, staying between 98 to 100, but I've had anemia since birth due to hereditary spherocytosis. Could you give me some advice on managing this high pulse rate?

High pulse rate can be concerning, especially if you have a history of anemia and hereditary spherocytosis. In your case, it is important to address the underlying cause of your high pulse rate. Since your SpO2 levels are normal, the high pulse rate may be due to other factors such as anemia or hereditary spherocytosis. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor. This medication can help slow down your heart rate and reduce the symptoms of weakness that you are experiencing. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication, as they can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current condition.
