Question 1

I'm really worried about this constant headache I have, mostly because my blood pressure and sugar are both on the high side. I've done a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. Even my neurologist confirmed everything looks fine. Despite all that, I'm still feeling this awful sense of suffocation. There's no history of any heart problems in my family or anything like that. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about the suffocation issue?

Accepted Answer

In this case, since suffocation is still an issue, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac-related causes. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) for high blood pressure and Metformin (500mg) for diabetes to help manage your conditions and alleviate symptoms. It's important to follow up with the cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

Question 2

I'm experiencing numbness in my feet and hands, and there's also this burning sensation in my hands. Sometimes they even get really hot. Do you have any idea what's going on?

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could be due to peripheral neuropathy. I recommend taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as Neurobion Forte once daily. Additionally, you can use a topical cream like Volini for relief from burning sensation.

Question 3

I'm feeling really tense and I'm worried it might cause a heart attack. I feel weak and lazy, but everything else seems normal. I'm currently out of town for work. Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Stress and tension can contribute to an increased risk of heart attack, especially if it is chronic and not properly managed. To help alleviate your symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider taking a medication like Propranolol (40mg) to help with anxiety and physical symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and getting regular exercise can also be beneficial.

Question 4

I'm a bit confused about the changes in my LVEF readings. Initially, my echo showed an LVEF of 55, but a month later, it increased to 70, just 30 minutes after undergoing a TMT. Is it normal to have such variations, and should I be concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

The increase in Lvef from 55 to 70 after 30 minutes of tmt could be due to the positive effects of the medication. To maintain and improve your heart function, you can continue taking medications like Carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily and Lisinopril 10 mg once daily as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Regular follow-up with your doctor is important to monitor your heart function and adjust your treatment plan if needed.

Question 5

I recently recovered from COVID and it's been about 20 days since my first symptoms with all my reports coming back negative. I'm only dealing with some post-COVID weakness now. I've noticed that when I'm resting, my heartbeat is typically between 60...

Accepted Answer

Your increased heart rate while climbing stairs (145-150) and walking (125-130) after recovering from COVID-19 can be attributed to post-COVID-19 fatigue, dehydration, and reduced cardiovascular endurance, but given your recent normal ECG and TMT results, it's likely a temporary condition; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting your doctor or a cardiologist for a follow-up evaluation, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, gradually increase physical activity, and monitor your heart rate and overall health.

Question 6

I've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiolo...
