Question 1

I'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test (TMT) are valid. If I keep up a pretty active lifestyle, when would be a good time to consider getting another TMT done for just a regular check-up? Would love any advice on that!

Accepted Answer

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm really concerned because I've been having this pain in my upper back and on the left side of my chest for the past two days. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Could it be something serious? What should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

Guvava (Guava) Fruit and Fever

_General Information_

1. _Guvava's nutritional benefits_: Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber.
2. _No direct link to fever increase_: Guvava fruit does not inherently increase fever.

_Potential Considerations_

1. _Natural sugars_: Guvava contains natural sugars, which may affect blood sugar levels.
2. _Digestive comfort_: If you're experiencing fever, your digestive system might be sensitive; guvava's high fiber content could potentially cause discomfort.

_Precautions_

1. _Eat in moderation_: Consume guvava fruit in moderation to avoid any potential digestive discomfort.
2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids, including water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages.
3. _Monitor your fever_: Keep track of your temperature and seek medical attention if your fever worsens or persists.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about a possible heart issue. So, I was working and suddenly got this intense headache. I went to see a doctor, and my ECG was a bit off. The Troponin I test showed 0.15 while my BP was 144. The doctor advised me to rest for 45 days with some meds and said there's no need to worry. After two days, I checked my ECG and BP, and they were both normal. I'm really curious if there's still a risk of any heart stroke or damage. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

A sudden headache and an elevated troponin I level of 0.15 ngmL can be concerning, as troponin is a marker of heart muscle damage. However, since your ECG and blood pressure are now normal and your doctor advised rest and medication, it appears that any immediate risk has been managed. It's important to follow your doctor's advice, take your medication, and rest as prescribed. Additionally, continue to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for any further evaluation or tests they recommend. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or another severe headache, seek medical attention immediately.

I've been having chest pain and got a 2D echo, ECG, blood work, and an X-ray done. The doctor said everything looks normal, but I noticed some black marks on the left side of the diaphragm in the X-ray. Could you tell me what these might be? I'm a bit concerned.

Diaphragmatic tumour,hernia,birth trauma ,surgical trauma ,thyroid disease and auto-immune disease are some of the causes..A dermatologist opinion is advised.
