Question 1

I've been feeling like someone is poking me with a pin or needle in my chest. It's not exactly painful, more like a sensation that's making me feel restless. It's been going on for about a week and seems to have gotten slightly worse. I'm a bit worried because visiting hospitals seems risky right now with all the COVID outbreaks. Do you have any idea what might be happening to me?

Question 2

I've just gotten results from my 2D echo showing mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, though everything else seems normal and my ECG was fine. I'm currently taking Arbitel 40. Should I be worried about this, and is there a chance that this c...

Accepted Answer

This medication helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. In addition to medication, lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can also help in managing left ventricular hypertrophy. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments to your treatment plan is important. It is important to note that while left ventricular hypertrophy can sometimes be reversed or managed effectively with treatment and lifestyle changes, it is essential to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Question 4

I'm really worried about my sister's blood test results. Her levels showed 94 instead of being under 20. Plus, her Immuno serology C.R.P is at 9.2 but should be below 6. The total WBC is fine at 11000, and the rest of the results seem normal. Is this...

Accepted Answer

it appears that your sister may have an elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 94, which is higher than the normal range of less than 20. This could indicate inflammation or infection in the body. The C.R.P (C-reactive protein) level of 9.2 is also elevated, suggesting the presence of inflammation. To address this issue, your sister may need to take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen to help reduce the inflammation. In addition, if there is an underlying infection, antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. There is no mention of surgery in the information provided, so surgery is not likely to be required to resolve this issue. Recovery time can vary depending on the underlying cause of the elevated ESR and C.R.P levels. It is important for your sister to follow up with her healthcare provider for further testing and treatment as needed. In summary, it is recommended that your sister follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment of the elevated ESR and C.R.P levels. Anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics may be necessary to address the inflammation or infection. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are important for her recovery."

Question 5

I'm really worried about my dad. He has a stent in his heart, and when we checked his pulse on the oximeter, it showed 5659. He's also taking Concor 5. Could this be something serious?

Accepted Answer

A pulse rate of 56-59 beats per minute can be considered lower than normal (bradycardia), especially for someone with a history of heart issues like stenting. Concor 5 contains Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. In this case, the low pulse rate could be a side effect of the medication. It is important to monitor his pulse rate regularly and consult with his healthcare provider. If he experiences symptoms like dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention promptly. The dosage of Concor 5 should be reviewed by his doctor to ensure it is appropriate for him.

Question 6

I'm noticing that my heart rate is going above 100-115 from time to time. My blood pressure is normal, but my hemoglobin level is 10.8. About a month ago, I had an ECG done, and it showed sinus tachycardia and IRBBB. But I'm still experiencing a hear...

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and previous ECG findings, you may benefit from taking a beta-blocker medication to help control your heart rate. I recommend you take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and monitoring.
