Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom's health. Her doctor said she has a 90% blockage in one of her arteries, and they're suggesting she undergoes angioplasty. Is this really the only way to treat it, or are there other options we should consider? I'm just trying to make sure we're making the best choice for her.

Question 2

I'm dealing with some chest pain and recently found out my blood pressure's been high at 14090 for the past two weeks, plus I've got high cholesterol. My doctor prescribed Rosuvas 10mg for the cholesterol but didn't give me anything for the blood pre...

It is not advisable to take EMBETA XR 50 (Metoprolol) without consulting your doctor, especially since you have high blood pressure. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to have your blood pressure monitored regularly while taking this medication. If your doctor did not prescribe a blood pressure medication initially, it is best to follow up with them to discuss the need for adding EMBETA XR 50 to your current treatment plan.

Question 3

I've been noticing my heart feels like it's pounding pretty hard, especially after eating. Before meals, my blood pressure seems normal, but once I've had something to eat, it shoots up to around 130. Could this be linked to any vitamin deficiencies ...

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to a condition called postprandial hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure after eating. To help manage this, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, eating smaller meals more frequently, and avoiding high-carb or high-sugar foods. Additionally, you may benefit from taking medications like Midodrine to help stabilize your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 4

I'm feeling concerned because my heart has been pumping really fast for a while before calming down to normal. When it speeds up, it feels like it's going to jump out of my chest. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat. One common cause of palpitations is atrial fibrillation, where the heart beats irregularly and often rapidly. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help slow down your heart rate. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50 mg twice daily. However, please consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

Question 5

I'm really concerned because I'm still having this pain on the left side of my chest and in my neck, even though my TMT and high-sensitive troponin tests came back normal. Should I still be worried about the possibility of a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

It's good that your TMT test and high sensitive troponin I test results are normal. However, persistent left chest pain and neck side pain should not be ignored. It's important to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac issues, but it's essential to rule out any cardiac concerns. You can take a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I'm experiencing this pinching needle-like pain mainly in my left arm, back, left nipple, and even my left leg. It's really random and just comes and goes. Should I be worried that this might be related to a heart problem?

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could potentially be related to a heart issue, such as angina. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
