I'm really concerned because my Echo report says IAS and IVS are intact, and I'm not entirely sure what that means in relation to my health. My blood pressure's been high at 150100, and I'm just trying to figure out if that's connected somehow. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've been dealing with high BP for about 8 months now. I was taking Stamlo 5 but it didn't really get it under control. So last month, I added Telma 20 to the mix and it's helped a bit with the numbers, which are now around 180185. But lately, I've been having these episodes where I can't catch my breath for a few seconds, and it feels like my heart suddenly skips a beat. It's kind of worrying and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could this be related to my medication or is it something else?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my 82-year-old grandmother. She's got this shrunk valve, and apparently, only a small part is still working. Her heart rate dropped a lot, so the doctors put in a temporary pacemaker. They said they're going to make it permanent soon. I'm wondering if it's a good idea for her to get a valve replacement surgery. Would it help her?

Given your grandmother's age and the severity of her heart valve condition, a valve replacement surgery may be a suitable option to improve her heart function and overall quality of life. However, the final decision should be made after a thorough evaluation by her healthcare team. In the meantime, it is important for her to continue taking her prescribed medications, such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol, at the appropriate dosage to help regulate her heart rate and manage her symptoms.

I'm really worried about my recent ECG showing a slight ST depression in V5. I've been dealing with anxiety and some gastric issues. I've had previous tests like an ECG treadmill, and both my troponin I and T were normal. Should I be concerned about these new findings?

Slight ST depression in V5 on ECG can sometimes be seen in patients with anxiety and gastric issues. Since your previous ECG, treadmill test, and troponin I levels were normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart condition. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Pantoprazole 40mg once a day for gastric issues and medications like Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety.
