I'm trying to understand something about ECG readings. In a normal person, when you look at the R wave in the V3 and V4 chest leads, is it due to major ventricular depolarization or septal depolarization? I could really use some help figuring this out.

In a normal person, the R wave in V3 and V4 chest leads is primarily due to major ventricular depolarization. This is a normal electrical activity of the heart during the cardiac cycle.

View allI've been experiencing this really weird thing where I suddenly get dizzy and faint after using the bathroom. I woke up this last time with a hurt nose, and it's actually the third time it's happened over the past five years. The first two times, I had a fever, so I figured that was the cause, but this time I'm not sick. I've seen a bunch of doctors, but no one seems to figure it out. They keep asking if I have issues with my BP or if I'm feeling hot. I dont have any of these problems normally, so Im really puzzled. Could there be something else going on that were missing?
This episode of dizziness and fainting could be related to a condition called vasovagal syncope, which can be triggered by various factors such as urination. To help prevent these episodes, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake to maintain blood pressure. Additionally, you can use medications like Fludrocortisone (brand name Florinef) at a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg per day to help increase blood volume and prevent episodes of fainting. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if this medication is suitable for you.

My mom's blood pressure spiked to 170100, and the doctor suggested she take Telma 40 mg once daily. It's already been five days, but her BP hasn't budged. Should I think about checking back in with the doctor for a medication switch, or is it normal for the meds to take a bit longer to work?

My dad's looking really tired lately, and I'm worried because he's been on Metocard XL 50 mg twice a day. His blood pressure has been ranging from 13070 to 15075. I'm just trying to understand what might be causing this. Any ideas?
It is possible that your father is experiencing facial weakness as a side effect of Metocard XL (Metoprolol) medication. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers, which can sometimes cause muscle weakness or fatigue as a side effect. However, it is important to note that facial weakness can also be a symptom of other underlying medical conditions. It is recommended to consult with your father's healthcare provider to discuss this symptom and explore other possible causes. In the meantime, it may be helpful to monitor his blood pressure regularly and ensure that it stays within the target range.
