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 wondering if I should stop taking Concur cor 2.5 that I've been on for a month. I found out last month during a routine check-up that I had a 7.5 load of APCs supraventricular in the holter, which is why it was prescribed. But I didn't really have any symptoms before, and Im not feeling any now. Lots of folks say I might not have needed it in the first place, and I'm a bit worried that taking it when it's not necessary might have side effects. If I do decide to stop, what's the best way to taper off since I heard stopping beta blockers suddenly isn't good? Also, are there any follow-up tests I should be doing after I stop the medication? My echo was normal last month.
It is important not to stop beta blockers suddenly to avoid any rebound effects. Since you have been taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month and are feeling fine, you can consider tapering off the medication gradually. I recommend reducing the dosage by half for a week, then halving it again for another week before stopping completely. This tapering schedule helps your body adjust gradually and reduces the risk of any withdrawal symptoms. Regarding side effects, taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month is generally safe, especially if you have not experienced any bothersome symptoms. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, or changes in heart rate, but if you have not noticed any issues, it is unlikely that you will experience them now. Since your echo results were normal last month, there may not be an immediate need for follow-up tests after stopping the medication. However, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs.

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 72, because he's been having some issues with his heart not beating regularly. Lately, hes been feeling very weak. His echo cardiography says he has systolic failure, and his chest x-ray shows there's fluid in his chest. I'm not sure if I should be taking him to see a cardiologist or a pulmonologist? What could possibly be going on with him?

I'm wondering if my dad, who got a pacemaker back in 2016 and is currently on medications like BPAsomex, Atorva, and LosarH, can safely get the COVID-19 vaccine. Should he continue taking these meds before and after getting the vaccine, or is there anything specific we need to do? He's okay right now, but I just want to make sure everything stays on track.
