Question 1

Is coffee good for high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Research indicates that coffee may lead to short-term increases in blood pressure. However, no long-term associations with increases in blood pressure or risk of heart disease have been found in people who drink it regularly. Rather, coffee may promote heart health due to its high antioxidant content.

Question 2

I'm Rao, 29, working in IT support in Chennai. I recently got an ECG report with some concerning results: Sinus Rhythm, Left Atrial Enlargement, RSR pattern in V1-V2, slight ST depression, and mild left axis deviation. Should I be worried about these findings? Can they be managed with mild medication or meditation, or is something more serious going on? Would really appreciate your insights.

Accepted Answer

based on the ECG report results you provided, it shows that you have Sinus Rhythm, Left Atrial Enlargement, RSR Pattern in V1V2, Slight ST Depression, and Mild Left Axis Deviation. For the Left Atrial Enlargement, you may consider taking medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help with the condition. For the Slight ST Depression, you can try medication like Aspirin 75mg once daily to manage it. For the Mild Left Axis Deviation, there is no specific medication needed, but regular monitoring by your healthcare provider is recommended. In addition to medication, incorporating meditation and stress-reducing techniques into your daily routine can also be beneficial for your overall heart health. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Take care, and best regards.

Question 3

I'm a little worried about using Benadon tablets. Is it safe to take them without any issues? I've been feeling like the medication I'm using for erectile dysfunction might be affecting my heart, making it feel weaker. Can Benadon help strengthen my heart, or is there another supplement or something else you'd recommend?

Accepted Answer

Concerning symptoms!

Considering your mom's diabetes and numbness symptoms, consult:

1. *Diabetologist*: To rule out diabetes-related complications, such as neuropathy.
2. *Neurologist*: To investigate potential nerve damage or disorders.
3. *General Physician*: For a thorough check-up and referral to a specialist if needed.

Before consulting the doctor:

1. Monitor your mom's blood sugar levels.
2. Keep a record of her symptoms, including when they occur and how long they last.
3. Note any other health issues or medications she's taking.

Early diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

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.
