Question 1

I've been getting this thumping sensation in my heart at pretty regular intervals, and every time it happens, I start feeling anxious. It's been going on for the past couple of days. Do you have any idea what might be causing it?

Accepted Answer

This sensation of a thump in your heart at regular intervals, along with feelings of anxiety, could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is pounding or racing. In some cases, palpitations can be caused by stress, anxiety, or stimulants like caffeine. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Tab. Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control the palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

Accepted Answer

For managing high cholesterol, including an LDL level of 220 mgdL, it's advisable to consult a cardiologist, given the significant elevation and the associated cardiovascular risks. A cardiologist can provide a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Whether you require medication or can manage your cholesterol through lifestyle changes depends on your overall risk profile, including age, family history, and any other health conditions. Typically, an LDL level of 220 mgdL would warrant the use of statin medications in addition to adopting heart-healthy dietary changes, such as reducing saturated and trans fats, increasing fiber intake, and incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet.

Accepted Answer

I see that you have undergone various tests for shortness of breath and have received conflicting results on troponin T tests. The normal coronary angiography results are reassuring. As for the CT coronary angiography report, without seeing the specific details, I cannot provide a detailed explanation. However, based on the information provided, it seems like further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In terms of treatment, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment and to discuss the next steps.
