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 really worried about my heart rate. I was prescribed Propranolol 20 MG for anxiety and palpitations by my cardiologist, but when I started feeling uncomfortable with light chest pain, I went to another cardiologist who told me to stop taking it. So I did, and I felt normal for a day, but then my heart rate jumped from 85 sitting to 145 standing the next day. I'm scared to go to the hospital because my heart rate might increase even more. If it's already at 140 just standing, I can't imagine how high it would go while working. Is this something very serious? Also, my blood pressure at night was 130 after eating and 127 before eating while I was on the medication, but it hardly ever went over 120 before all this. If just two days of using Propranolol caused these withdrawal effects, how am I supposed to handle this medication for the long term? I'm living in constant fear of dying. Can you help?
It sounds like you are experiencing significant anxiety and palpitations along with withdrawal effects from Propranolol. The sudden increase in heart rate upon standing is concerning and may indicate a condition called orthostatic intolerance. This needs to be evaluated further by a healthcare professional. To address your symptoms, you can try the following: - Discontinue Propranolol under medical supervision to avoid withdrawal effects - Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to help with anxiety - Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet - Avoid sudden changes in posture to prevent orthostatic intolerance In the meantime, it is important to consult with a cardiologist or a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan. They may consider alternative medications or therapies to help with your symptoms. Remember, sudden changes in heart rate and chest discomfort should not be ignored. Take care.

I've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest for the last three months. It's not super painful, more like an irritation, but sometimes it feels like pinpricks and can also move to my armpit and back. I've had a 2D Echo and two TMTs, and everything came back normal, but I'm still feeling this discomfort. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get another TMT or look into something else?
Considering your symptoms and the normal results of your previous tests, it is important to rule out acid reflux as a possible cause of your chest irritation. I recommend trying a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed, but repeating the TMT may not be necessary at this point.

I've been having this weird discomfort in my upper chest for the last few days, and it's starting to concern me a bit. Sometimes the pain even travels from my upper shoulder to my back shoulder. I can't help but wonder what could be causing this. Are there specific tests or checks I should be considering to figure out what's going on?
I would recommend you to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, a chest X-ray to look for any abnormalities in the chest area, and possibly an upper endoscopy to examine the esophagus and stomach for any signs of acid reflux or inflammation. Additionally, blood tests may be done to check for any markers of heart damage or inflammation. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
