Question 1

I'm really concerned because my heartbeat is only 20 and I'm having trouble breathing. Can you tell me how much your EECP treatment costs? How long does the treatment usually take? And could you walk me through the whole treatment process? I'm eager to understand more about what to expect.

Accepted Answer

For your condition, EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) treatment can be beneficial. The treatment fee can vary depending on the healthcare facility and location, so it's best to inquire directly at the clinic. Typically, an EECP treatment course involves 35 one-hour sessions, usually conducted over a span of 7 weeks (5 sessions per week). During the treatment process, you will be comfortably lying on a bed with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around your legs. These cuffs will inflate and deflate in sync with your heartbeat to increase blood flow to your heart and improve its function. This non-invasive treatment can help improve your heart function and alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath. I hope this information helps.

Question 2

I'm dealing with high blood pressure, around 12090 most of the time, and I've got hyper acidity too. Whenever I get that acidity feeling, it seems like my BP shoots up, and I also have GERD. A doctor said I have LV hypertrophy but my echo test came back normal. What kind of treatments would you recommend for this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your high BP and acidity are connected, as stress from GERD and acidity can worsen hypertension. It's important to manage both with lifestyle changes, like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and medications as prescribed. For better control, consider antacids or PPIs for acidity, and BP medication to manage your levels. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are essential to monitor your heart and BP.

Question 3

I'm really worried about using the ziverdo kit for someone who's already taking a mix of medications, like 5mg of warfarin, 500mg of hydroxyurea, ciplar la 40, and 88mcg of thyroxin. Do you think it's safe to go ahead with the kit, or could there be some complications with these meds?

Accepted Answer

yes you can use it

I'm really worried because my blood pressure is reading 140100. I know that's considered high, and I'm wondering what medicine I should be taking for it. Is this something I need to be urgently concerned about? Should I see a doctor right away?

According to me you have to measure your bp once daily and make a report after that we can make a conclusion and if it is prehypertension range we can try some lifestyle changles avoid salt tea coffee stress etc
