Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate. It's usually around 96, but it goes up to 120 when I walk. I don't have any other symptoms and I've had a thyroid test, ECG, and echo done, all of which came back normal. The only thing on the ECG was sinus ta...

Accepted Answer

Sinus tachycardia is a common condition where the heart rate is elevated but the heart rhythm is normal. Since your thyroid, ECG, and echo results are normal, and considering your history of mild COVID-19 last year, your elevated heart rate may be due to post-viral effects. In most cases, sinus tachycardia resolves on its own as the body recovers from the viral illness. To help manage your heart rate, you can try to reduce stress, stay hydrated, and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. Monitoring your heart rate regularly and following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation is recommended.

Question 3

I've been dealing with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation, and I've had pericarditis a few times. The problem is I don't have health insurance, so I'm a bit worried about when I actually need to see a doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing numbn...

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could indicate a worsening of your heart condition or potential nerve issues. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for chest discomfort. However, it is crucial to address the underlying issues. For your heart conditions, you can take medications like Metoprolol for mitral valve prolapse and Colchicine for pericarditis. To improve blood circulation and relieve numbness, you can try Aspirin and Vitamin B complex supplements. Please visit a healthcare facility for a thorough evaluation and proper management of your symptoms.

Question 4

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol levels; my total cholesterol is 238, triglycerides are 285, HDL is 50, VLDL is 57, and LDL is 131. Do you think it's okay if I start taking Tonact TG to help maintain my levels?

Accepted Answer

Based on your cholesterol levels, it seems like you have high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. Tonact TG is a combination medication that contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate, which can help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol. I would recommend taking Tonact TG as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dosage for Tonact TG is one tablet daily, preferably at bedtime. It is important to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly in addition to taking the medication to effectively manage your cholesterol levels.

Question 5

I've been having some concerns lately, so a few weeks ago, I had breathlessness and noticed my blood pressure was up at 140106. Went to get an ECG and Echo done  the ECG showed some mild variations, and the Echo showed mild LVH. That same day, my BP ...

Accepted Answer

Based on your medical history of having mild variations in ECG, mild LVH on Echo report, and elevated blood pressure readings, it is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. Skipping blood pressure medication can increase the risk of complications such as heart disease, stroke, or kidney problems, especially since your blood pressure was previously elevated at 150100. I recommend that you do not skip your medication and continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor. In addition to medication, incorporating lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium, regular exercise, stress management, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can also help in managing your blood pressure. If you have concerns about forming a habit of taking medication, you can discuss this with your doctor to address any fears or doubts you may have. It is important to prioritize your health and follow the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare provider.

Question 6
