Ive got rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimotos. I just had an ECG at a walk-in clinic for a pre-op check-up and it showed non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement. Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried and see a cardiologist about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement on your ECG could be indicative of various conditions, including cardiac issues such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial ischemia, or structural heart disease. Given your medical history of rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimoto's, it is important to further evaluate these findings. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, it would be beneficial to monitor your blood pressure regularly and ensure that your rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's are well controlled. If any symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath occur, seek immediate medical attention.

View allI've been dealing with anxiety disorder since the pandemic, and I'm 32 now. I don't have a family history of high blood pressure, but because of anxiety, my readings were 14090 and 13080. The doctor put me on medication almost a year ago, and now my BP is 11070 and 12080. I'm currently taking Revelol 25. Is it really necessary to stay on blood pressure meds forever? I've also managed to lose around 15 kgs. Would love your advice on this.
It's great to hear that you have been able to reduce your weight and that your blood pressure has improved with Revelol 25 (Metoprolol). It's important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure readings have improved. High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes like weight loss, but sometimes medication is still necessary for long-term control. It's best to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with Revelol 25 to effectively manage your blood pressure and prevent any complications associated with hypertension.

I've been on Tazloc Beta 25 for about 3 years now, and I've noticed something odd with my liver function tests. I've had them done three times during this period, and each time my total bilirubin levels have been between 1.33 and 1.45. Before I started taking the BP pills, my liver tests were always normal. Do you think the medication could be affecting my liver, or could there be another reason for this change? I haven't noticed any liver-related symptoms, but it's a bit concerning. Could you shed some light on this?
The medication Tazloc Beta 25 contains Telmisartan and Metoprolol, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. While these medications are generally well-tolerated, they can rarely cause liver enzyme abnormalities in some individuals. Since your total bilirubin levels have been elevated since starting the medication, it is possible that Tazloc Beta 25 may be contributing to this change in your LFT results. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to evaluate the need for further investigation or potential adjustment of your medication.
