I've been having some weird symptoms lately. A few days ago, I woke up with this chest pain and it kinda hurt when I breathed. My inhaler helped a bit, but then yesterday, my blood pressure reading at the dentist was 15074, which is way higher than my usual 120-127 for the systolic part. I'm trying to figure out if I should just make an appointment with my GP or if it's serious enough to hit up urgent care or the ER. What do you think?

I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?

A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been feeling some pain on the left side and backside of her heart after getting her first dose of Covaxin in September 2021, and then she noticed some blood clot patches on her body. Her heart rate also suddenly increased to around 130 at one point. We saw a general physician who mentioned something about Gilbert syndrome and suggested beta blockers, specifically Metalour X25, for life. But I'm really concerned about any side effects on her or our child, especially since she's been managing everything on her own for the last two years. Are there any alternatives in Ayurveda that might work instead of lifetime medication? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Metalour X-25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker commonly used to treat various heart conditions, including high blood pressure and certain types of heart disease. In the case of Gilbert syndrome, beta blockers like Metoprolol can help manage symptoms such as rapid heart rate. The dosage of Metoprolol can vary depending on the individual's condition, but a common starting dose is around 25-50mg once daily. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the prescribing physician. Beta blockers, including Metoprolol, are generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, they can have side effects. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, and cold hands or feet. It is important to monitor for any unusual symptoms and report them to the healthcare provider. As for alternatives in Ayurveda, it is always recommended to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to health and may have alternative treatments or lifestyle recommendations to support heart health. Some Ayurvedic herbs and practices that are commonly used to support heart health include Arjuna, Ashwagandha, and stress-reducing techniques like yoga and meditation. Ultimately, the decision to take Metoprolol or explore Ayurvedic alternatives should be made in consultation with healthcare providers who are familiar with the individual's medical history and current health status.
