I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. I started taking Eliwel 10mg for nerve pain about 20 days ago, but suddenly I got rapid heartbeats and chest pain on October 1st with pain intensity around 710. When I went to the doctor, my heartbeat was going from 60s to 110. The doctor gave me Nebicard 5mg and suggested getting an ECG and echo. The ECG was abnormal but the echo was normal, and the doc said not to worry. But the chest pain lingered for 34 days, and I also had some shortness of breath. I've stopped taking Eliwel on my own, which helped a bit, but I still have some chest pain, maybe around a 410. Yesterday I saw a cardiologist who did a TMT test; that was normal too, but the ECG was still abnormal. I've attached my reports. Is there anything here I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms and the abnormal ECG findings, it seems like you may have experienced some adverse effects from the Eliwel (Amitriptyline) medication. The rapid heart beat and chest pain could be related to this. Nebicard (Nebivolol) 5mg was prescribed to help with the rapid heart beat. Since you have already discontinued Eliwel and your symptoms have improved but not completely resolved, I would recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for nerve pain. For your ongoing chest pain, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. It is important to follow up with your Cardiologist for further evaluation and management of the abnormal ECG findings. If the chest pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

View allI'm a bit concerned because I've been managing my blood pressure and diabetes for a while. I used to take lobet 100mg and alphadopa 500mg twice a day for a month, but I stopped the BP meds two months ago because I was feeling dizzy and had blurred vision. My BP readings were fine after that, but lately, I've been getting mild headaches, and today my BP was 160100. I've been advised to see a doctor. I'm worried about whether starting BP medication again after the consultation might cause any issues. Could you please give me some guidance on this?
It is important to manage your blood pressure to prevent complications. Since you have a history of experiencing giddiness and blurred vision with your previous medication, it is crucial to consult your doctor before starting any new medication. Your doctor may prescribe a different class of antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily or Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure without causing the same side effects. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are essential to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the new medication.

I'm really worried about this whole ECG report thing. It showed some ST segment downslope depression during my pre-employment medical exam. Then I did an echocardiogram with a color doppler test, and it shows DRA grade 1 with this E wave A wave stuff, whatever that means. There's no RWMA but the systolic is normal. The doctor didn't give me any meds except for blood pressure medicine. Is it really okay? What does this all mean? Would love some guidance on this.
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have a normal ECG with ST segment downslope depression and a Doppler test showing DRA grade 1 with Ewave> A wave, no RWMA, and normal systolic function. Since your doctor has only prescribed blood pressure medication, it indicates that there are no significant cardiac issues requiring specific treatment at the moment. However, to further support your heart health, you can consider taking a low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily for its cardioprotective benefits. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial. It's important to continue regular follow-ups with your doctor for monitoring and guidance."

I've been noticing that every time I check my pulse rate, it's always above 100, sometimes even hitting 95 to 105. I'm worried about what could be causing this consistently high pulse rate. Can you help me understand the possible reasons behind it?
High pulse rate, also known as tachycardia, can be caused by various factors. Some common reasons for a high pulse rate in the range of 95-105 beats per minute include physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid disorders, and certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate at different times of the day and in different situations to see if there are any patterns or triggers. If your pulse rate consistently remains above 100 beats per minute, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, staying hydrated, and avoiding stimulants to see if there is any improvement in your pulse rate.
