Ive been dealing with this dizziness, nausea, and sometimes even fainting for about 23 days. I found out that my blood pressure is hanging around 95. Ive been trying to fix it with ORS and even started munching on raisins, but the dizziness still hangs around. Im totally confused about what I should be eating or doing to make this better. Any idea why this is happening or what else I can try? I really cant stand feeling like this all the time.

I'm really worried about this whole ECG report thing. It showed some ST segment downslope depression during my pre-employment medical exam. Then I did an echocardiogram with a color doppler test, and it shows DRA grade 1 with this E wave A wave stuff, whatever that means. There's no RWMA but the systolic is normal. The doctor didn't give me any meds except for blood pressure medicine. Is it really okay? What does this all mean? Would love some guidance on this.

"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have a normal ECG with ST segment downslope depression and a Doppler test showing DRA grade 1 with Ewave> A wave, no RWMA, and normal systolic function. Since your doctor has only prescribed blood pressure medication, it indicates that there are no significant cardiac issues requiring specific treatment at the moment. However, to further support your heart health, you can consider taking a low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily for its cardioprotective benefits. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial. It's important to continue regular follow-ups with your doctor for monitoring and guidance."

I'm curious about what's happening with my heart. Sometimes my ECG shows these non-specific ST changes, and while my echo was normal, I'm still worried. I often feel chest discomfort and pains in my left arm. Is there something specific these ST changes could indicate, even though my ECG and echo seem alright? Could something be missed?

Non-specific ST changes on an ECG can be caused by various factors, including electrolyte imbalances, medications, anxiety, or even normal variation. Since your echocardiogram was normal, it is less likely to be related to a structural heart problem. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and left arm pains, it is important to continue monitoring and investigating further. To address your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like aspirin for chest discomfort (75-325mg once daily) and acetaminophen for pain relief in your left arm (500-1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed). Additionally, you may benefit from a medication like ranitidine for acid reflux if present (150mg twice daily). It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

Hey, my mom's 60 and she's been feeling this heaviness in her chest. They prescribed her Cidmus 50. I'm really curious about why this specific medication is used and what condition it's usually meant to treat?

Cidmus 50 is given to treat angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood. Cidmus 50 contains the active ingredient Atenolol, which helps to reduce the workload on the heart and decrease its oxygen demand. The usual dosage of Cidmus 50 for angina is 50-100mg once daily.
