Question 1

I recently had a heart attack and my LVEF is only 26. The angiography shows 100% blockage in my LAD and 80% in another artery. One doctor recommends CABG while another suggests ICD implantation. Is it safe to undergo surgery with such a low LVEF? I'm really confused about which option is better for my condition.

Accepted Answer

risky but sx is the only option .

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

sometimes blood pressure increases because of pain also. repeat your blood pressure,and monitor it

Question 3

I'm really anxious about my recent ECG results. They showed irregular heartbeats and sometimes sinus tachycardia. My doctor mentioned taking Nebi 2.5, but I'm unsure if it's right for me because I don't have blood pressure issues or any other major health problems. Also, I tend to overthink and have anxiety. Is this medication really going to help with my situation? I'm feeling quite torn about starting it. What do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Nebivolol (Nebi) 2.5 mg is a beta-blocker often prescribed to manage irregular heartbeats and conditions like sinus tachycardia, and it can also help with anxiety symptoms by slowing the heart rate and reducing palpitations. Since you have anxiety and overthinking issues, Nebivolol might help alleviate these symptoms by controlling your heart rate. However, it's important to follow your doctor's advice and give the medication a try while monitoring your response to it. If you have concerns or experience side effects, discuss them with your healthcare provider. Additionally, consider incorporating anxiety management techniques such as mindfulness, therapy, or relaxation exercises.

I've been prescribed Biotor tablet 10 instead of Clavix and Atorlip, and my doctor mentioned it has Ecospirin in it. But when I looked it up online, it seems like it only contains atorvastatin. I'm really confused nowdoes Biotor tablet 10 actually have Ecospirin too?

No it does not contain aspirin.
