Question 1

I've been keeping an eye on my health and just found out that my blood pressure is at 14090. My ECG report shows that my right bundle branch is blocked, and now my doctor wants me to start taking CYTOGARD and MONIT GTN 2.6. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about starting these medications since I don't really have any symptoms. Is it really necessary to take them, or should I hold off until there's something more serious going on?

Based on the Echo Report, everything seems to be within normal limits except for the mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). For mild TR and mild PAH, you can take Tablet Sildenafil 20mg once daily to help with the pulmonary hypertension. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm Rohit, and I'm from Delhi. Back in December, I had some chest pain and got an ECG done. The doctors thought it might be type 1 Brugada morphology. I've since done a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, TMT, CT Angiography, and a 24-hour holter test, al...

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can undergo a FlecainideAjmaline challenge test to confirm the presence of Brugada syndrome. This test is commonly used to unmask the Brugada ECG pattern in individuals suspected of having the syndrome. In India, you can consider getting this test done at reputed hospitals like AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) in New Delhi, or at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, New Delhi. It is important to undergo this test under the supervision of a cardiologist experienced in managing Brugada syndrome, as the test involves administration of a sodium channel blocker (Flecainide or Ajmaline) which can induce changes in the ECG pattern characteristic of Brugada syndrome. This test should only be performed in a hospital setting with facilities for managing any potential complications that may arise during the test. Before proceeding with the FlecainideAjmaline challenge test, it is advisable to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the test with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision.

I'm just about to hit 30 and have a 2-year-old at home. I recently got a blood test done, and I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 208, HDL is 46, non-HDL is 161, and LDL is 138. Do these levels mean I need to s...

Accepted Answer

Based on your cholesterol levels, it seems like you are at average risk. However, your LDL cholesterol level is slightly elevated at 138 mgdL. To help lower your LDL cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease, you may consider taking a statin medication. I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about starting a statin such as Atorvastatin at a low dose of 10 mg daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can also help improve your cholesterol levels.
