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'm a bit puzzled about my blood pressure readings. I got a TMT, ECG, and blood tests for my heart, and everything came back normal. But sometimes when I check my BP, the first reading is 15090, and then right after, it drops to 13090. It's happened a couple of times. Why could this be happening?
Sometimes, blood pressure readings can vary due to factors such as stress, anxiety, or even the environment in which the measurement is taken. This is known as white coat hypertension. To help manage this issue, you can try practicing relaxation techniques before getting your blood pressure checked. Additionally, you may consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this weird sensation where I can feel my heartbeat or pulse when I'm lying down on my pillow. It usually happens in the side of my neck or at the back of my head. This has been going on for about three months now. I've had an ECG and an echo, and they were normal, except the ECG showed sinus tachycardia. I also got a thyroid test, which came back normal. My blood pressure is fine too, and I dont have any other symptoms. Its just strange that it only happens when Im lying down. I did have COVID nine months ago, but that feels like ages ago now. What should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be concerning. Since your ECG and echo were normal and your thyroid test was also normal, it is good news that there are no major issues detected so far. Sinus tachycardia can sometimes cause palpitations, especially when lying down. One possible next step could be to monitor your heart rate with a Holter monitor to see if there are any irregularities in your heart rhythm over a longer period of time. In the meantime, you can try to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and stress, as these can sometimes trigger palpitations. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recently had a TMT and an ECG done, and the ECG is attached for reference. The TMT report mentioned no ischemia, but I'm still getting some random chest pains, especially when I'm lost in thought. I've been given an antacid for it. How long is the TMT result considered valid?
The validity of a TMT (Treadmill Test) can vary depending on individual circumstances, but generally, it is valid for 1-2 years for individuals with a low risk of heart disease. Since your TMT report shows "No Ischemia" and you are experiencing random chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can continue taking the antacid as prescribed. If the chest pain persists or worsens, please consult your doctor for further assessment and management.
