I'm worried about my pulse rate, which tends to be pretty high, between 100 and 120, and sometimes even hits 130 or more. I just got over dengue and noticed my pulse was between 90 and 110 during that time. Should I see a cardiologist right away, or is it okay to give my body a few days to rest first?

It is important to monitor your pulse rate closely, especially after recovering from dengue. A persistently high pulse rate can be a sign of an underlying issue that may need medical attention. In your case, since your pulse rate is consistently high and has even increased after recovering from dengue, it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist sooner rather than later. The cardiologist can evaluate your condition, perform any necessary tests, and recommend appropriate treatment. It is better to address any potential concerns promptly to ensure your heart health is optimal.

I've been feeling this discomfort in my left arm, it's not really numbness or sharp pain, but noticeable, especially when I'm trying to lay down and sleep. Plus, I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat feels irregular for a few seconds. No sleeping position seems to help, and I just can't get comfortable, so I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Even after walking for over 2 hours, I still feel lazy and tired all day. It's even hard to poop. I'm getting pretty worried since I'm stuck with this and can't see a doctor because of the lockdown. Could this be something serious?

Egg-cellent question! _Can Boiled Eggs Cause Gas?_ 1. _Yes, boiled eggs can cause gas_: Eggs are a common gas-producing food, especially for some individuals. 2. _Protein and sulfur compounds_: Egg whites contain protein and sulfur compounds, which can be difficult for some people to digest, leading to gas and bloating. _Why Liquid Egg White Might Be a Better Option_ 1. _Easier to digest_: Liquid egg whites might be easier to digest than boiled egg whites, as the protein structure is broken down. 2. _Less gas production_: Liquid egg whites may produce less gas, as the digestive system can absorb the nutrients more efficiently. _Solutions to Reduce Gas from Boiled Egg Whites_ 1. _Try digestive enzymes_: Supplementing with digestive enzymes like papain or bromelain can help break down protein and reduce gas. 2. _Experiment with cooking methods_: Try cooking egg whites differently, like poaching or scrambling, to see if it reduces gas production. 3. _Reduce portion size_: If you're consuming 5-6 boiled egg whites daily, try reducing the portion size to see if it alleviates gas symptoms. _Consult a Healthcare Professional_ If you experience persistent or severe gas and bloating, consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

Can a treadmill test, 2D echo, or ECG detect an 80% heart blockage, or is an angiogram the only way to find this out? I'm really curious because I want to understand what these tests can actually show.

0% heart blockage cannot be directly traced by a treadmill test, 2D echo, or ECG. These tests can provide important information about the heart's function and structure, but they may not definitively show the extent of blockages in the coronary arteries. The gold standard for diagnosing blockages in the arteries is a coronary angiogram (angio). It is an invasive procedure where a dye is injected into the arteries to visualize any blockages. If you suspect significant blockages in your coronary arteries, it is best to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking Ciplar 60 LA daily for the past 34 years as part of my antidepressant therapy as advised by my psychiatrist. My ECG always shows an abnormal T wave progression. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal in my case?

The presence of abnormal T wave progression on your ECG may indicate various underlying conditions. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and interpretation of your ECG results. In the meantime, continue taking your prescribed medication as directed by your psychiatrist.
