Question 1

I've been prescribed two different medications, amiodarone and Carloc, and I'm a bit confused. Could you explain how they differ and whether they have similar effects? I'm really curious if they do the same thing or work differently.

Question 2

I'm sometimes feeling my heart beating in my neck and it makes me panic a bit. I've done some tests like a blood test, ECG, and 2D Echo. My cholesterol is borderline, but both the ECG and Echo came out normal. So, why do I feel my heartbeat in my nec...

Accepted Answer

Feeling your heart beat in your neck can be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, or even dehydration. Since your ECG and 2D Echo results are normal, it is less likely to be related to any structural heart abnormalities. However, if you continue to experience this sensation, you may consider doing a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for 24-48 hours. This can help in detecting any irregular heartbeats that may not be captured during a standard ECG. Additionally, a stress test can also be considered to evaluate your heart's response to physical activity.

Question 3

I'm really worried about this LAD thing showing up on my ECG. I don't have any symptoms, and my echo came back normal, so I'm confused about why it's happening. Should I be concerned about how this might impact my life span?

Accepted Answer

if your ECG shows LAD (Left Anterior Descending) without any symptoms and your echo is normal, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. LAD is a coronary artery that supplies blood to the front part of the heart. In some cases, an ECG may show variations that are not clinically significant. However, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To ensure your heart health and longevity, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can discuss with your doctor about starting a statin medication like atorvastatin (10-20mg) to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking are also important for maintaining a healthy heart. If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms in the future, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
