I'm really concerned about my father's health after getting his ECG results. He's 72 and sometimes has high blood pressure. He's been taking ecospirin av 75 at night, and the report mentions sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. It's labeled as an abnormal ECG, and I'm honestly worried. Should we consider surgery, or is it safe for him to continue with the ecospirin av 75? Could you please guide us on the next steps?

"Based on the ECG report showing Sinus bradycardia, Right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality with possible lateral ischemia, it is important to consult a Cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Your father may need additional tests such as a stress test or coronary angiography to assess the extent of any blockages in the heart vessels. In terms of medication, Ecospirin AV 75 is a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin, which is commonly used for heart conditions. It is important to continue this medication as prescribed by the doctor unless advised otherwise. However, the dosage and frequency may need to be adjusted based on the cardiologist's recommendations. At this point, there is no indication for immediate surgery based on the information provided. The next steps will depend on the cardiologist's assessment of your father's overall cardiac health and the extent of any potential ischemia. Please schedule an appointment with a Cardiologist at the earliest to discuss the ECG findings and determine the appropriate course of action."

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past two months and have been taking metoprolol 50 mg since the first month. Initially, everything was going well, and my blood pressure was 11070, but lately, over the past week, my diastolic pressure is sticking around 85 to 90. It seems like the meds aren't working as well now. I've increased to 50 mg twice a day. What should I do?
Its important to effectively manage your blood pressure, especially if it has started to rise again despite medication. It might be necessary to adjust your treatment plan. Continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly, and consider keeping a log of your readings to discuss with your doctor. In addition to adjusting your dose of Metoprolol, your healthcare provider might consider adding another antihypertensive medication to your regimen. There are several classes of medications that can be used in combination with beta-blockers, such as ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, or diuretics. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider to review your current treatment plan and discuss potential adjustments. They can also evaluate for any underlying factors that might be contributing to the increased blood pressure.

I'm really worried about my incomplete RBBB turning into a complete RBBB in the future. Are there treatments like an angiogram or angioplasty that can help prevent this from happening? Is there any way to make my RBBB go back to normal, like it was before, so there's no block at all?
Its reversible,visit Cardiologist for appropriate management and have a regular follow up

I recently used a BP machine, and it showed that I have an irregular heartbeat. I went ahead and did an ECG. Can an ECG detect any sort of irregular heartbeat? I'm a bit concerned and hoping for some clarity.
