Question 1

I'm really worried about my aunt. She's a heart patient and recently had bypass surgery. She's been taking Acitrom 2mg, and the doctor warned us that mixing it with other medications could cause serious side effects. But now, for her leg pain, another doctor recommended she take Amifru 40mg. I'm just concerned - is it safe for her to take both Acitrom and Amifru together? Would love some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

no problem you can take.

Question 2

I've been checking my pulse rate a lot since yesterday, like 34 times, and it's been between 95 to 100 on the pulse oximeter. Is this okay, or does it seem a bit high? I'm just wondering what I should do to improve it if needed.

Accepted Answer

A pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is generally considered normal for adults. A pulse rate of 95 to 100 may be slightly on the higher side, but it could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. Make sure to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If your pulse rate consistently stays high or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate; it's at 48. Is this normal, or could it indicate something potentially not good? Should I actually make an appointment with a doctor to get it checked out?

Accepted Answer

Resting heart is low, you need an ecg and cardiac markers.

Question 4

I'm really worried because my whole body seems to vibrate with my heartbeat, and I can actually see it in my stomach and hands. I've done ECGs, two TMTs, and an echo, and they all came back normal. I also feel this pressure on the left side of my che...

Question 5

I'm curious about some symptoms I've been experiencing. A few months back, I did an echo report and a TMT, which came back negative. Lately, though, I've been having this pressure and a burning sensation in my chest, plus a lot of burping. I'm a bit ...

Accepted Answer

based on your symptoms of pressure in chest, burping, burning sensation, and pain in chest, it is important to further evaluate your heart health. In addition to the echo report and negative TMT, I would recommend a few more tests for a comprehensive heart evaluation. 1. **ECG (Electrocardiogram)**: To assess the electrical activity of your heart. 2. **Holter Monitor**: To monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 3. **Cardiac CT Scan or MRI**: To get detailed images of your heart's structure and function. 4. **Blood tests**: Such as lipid profile and cardiac enzymes to check for any abnormalities. Based on the results of these tests, further treatment or management can be determined.

Question 6

I'm feeling this strange beating sensation on the left side of my chest, close to my heart. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

The sensation you are experiencing could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. However, if the palpitations are occasional and not associated with any other symptoms, you can try over-the-counter medication like **Propranolol** at a dose of 10-40mg as needed to help reduce the sensation. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package
