Question 1

I'm really concerned because my TMT came back positive and I've been told I've got a heart problem. What should I do now? How serious is this, and what's the next step?

Accepted Answer

Based on your positive TMT result and heart problem, I would recommend that you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you should also consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm feeling really stressed because I couldn't sleep last night and today I found out my blood pressure is 150100. I'm currently taking Metosortan 50 every day, and it usually keeps my BP in check. Can you recommend something to lower my blood pressu...

Accepted Answer

It seems like you are experiencing elevated blood pressure and difficulty sleeping. To help lower your blood pressure and improve your sleep, I recommend adding a medication like Amlodipine 5mg to further control your blood pressure. Additionally, you can consider taking a medication like Zolpidem 5mg to help with your sleep. However, please consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've been having this right-sided chest pain in the upper part for the last few days. It's been getting worse after I eat, and once in a while, I even feel it in my arms. Do you think this could be a heart-related issue, or...

Accepted Answer

It is important to rule out any heart-related issues, especially given the symptoms of chest pain on the right side that worsens after meals and radiates to the arms. This could potentially be a sign of angina or a heart attack. I recommend seeking immediate medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related symptoms.

Question 4

I've got high cholesterol and I'm wondering if having 1kg of milk daily is okay or if I should cut back. Can you suggest how much milk would be beneficial for my condition?

Accepted Answer

For high cholesterol, consuming 1kg of milk per day may not be the best approach as it is high in saturated fats which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet. Instead, focus on a balanced diet that includes low-fat dairy products in moderation. A more suitable option for managing cholesterol levels would be to incorporate plant-based alternatives such as almond milk or soy milk which are lower in saturated fats. Additionally, including foods rich in soluble fiber such as oats, fruits, and vegetables can help lower cholesterol levels. There is no specific dosage of milk recommended for managing cholesterol, but it is advisable to consult with a dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations based on individual health needs.

Question 5

I'm a bit concerned about my health and would really appreciate some advice. Back in May 2017, I had an angioplasty and have been keeping up with my meds and exercises since then. Currently, I'm on cilacar for my blood pressure and crevast 7510. I us...

Accepted Answer

it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Since you have already been taking lab tests once every three months and they have been normal, it is recommended to continue with this frequency for now. Additionally, it is advisable to undergo an ECG, treadmill test, and echo once every 6-12 months to assess your heart function and overall cardiovascular health. However, the frequency of these tests may vary based on your individual health condition and any specific recommendations from your cardiologist.

Question 6

I just got my EKG report and it says "borderline ECG." I went to the cardiologist for surgery clearance for bariatric surgery. Should I be worried about this result? Could this affect my surgery? What does "borderline ECG" mean exactly?

Accepted Answer

Borderline ECG means that the results of your electrocardiogram are not definitively normal or abnormal. It could indicate a variety of issues or it could simply be a variation of normal for you. It is important to discuss these results further with your cardiologist to determine if any additional testing or monitoring is needed.
