Question 1

My dad experienced some chest pain and his blood pressure was pretty high last night, so we decided to get an ECG done this morning. The results are in, and they mention something about a non-specific T wave abnormality. I'm trying to figure out what that means exactly. Any chance you could help us understand this a bit better?

Question 3

I'm experiencing some pain in my left arm and a bit of discomfort in my chest, along with some left side back pain. There's also a little bit of gas. Could you tell me if this could be something serious? There aren't any other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Continuous bleeding 3 months post-delivery is not normal. This condition is known as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) or prolonged lochia.

_Possible Causes_

1. _Hormonal imbalance_: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can cause irregular bleeding.
2. _Uterine atony_: The uterus may not have contracted properly after delivery, leading to excessive bleeding.
3. _Retained placental tissue_: Small pieces of placenta may still be present in the uterus, causing bleeding.
4. _Infection_: Uterine infection or endometritis can cause prolonged bleeding.

_Remedies and Solutions_

1. _Consult your doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your obstetrician to rule out any underlying conditions.
2. _Ultrasound scan_: Your doctor may recommend an ultrasound scan to check for retained placental tissue or other abnormalities.
3. _Hormonal treatment_: Your doctor may prescribe hormonal medications to help regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce bleeding.
4. _Antibiotics_: If an infection is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat it.

_When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_

1. _Heavy bleeding_: If you experience heavy bleeding, soaking more than 2-3 pads or tampons per hour.
2. _Severe abdominal pain_: If you experience severe abdominal pain, cramping, or tenderness.
3. _Fever_: If you have a fever above 100.4F (38C).
4. _Dizziness or fainting_: If you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
