My dad recently had an ECG which turned out normal, but his TMT results showed positive for exercise-induced ischemia. I'm quite worried because his hemoglobin level is really low at 8.8. Do you think he needs an angiogram? I'm not sure what the best next steps are, and would appreciate your guidance.

Correct anemia first then can think to do stress echocardiography....to confirm..but If there are any risk facters like diabetes and hypertension or smoking or obesity or family history & inactive lifestyle...& symptoms of chest pain or breathing difficulty, angiography should be done Anyways need insight on all these & need to see the TMT strips to suggest the next best step.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Telvas H and Nebicard 2.5 along with Amaryl M1, but recently she's been having these heart palpitations and feeling super uneasy after taking the Amaryl. It's kind of freaking us out because it's only started in the last few days. Do you think this could be a side effect or something we should be concerned about? What should we do to help her feel better?

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having this chest pain and it's like the bones in his chest are hurting too. We went to a general physician who thought it could be gas-related, but the tablets he prescribed haven't helped after a week. I've noticed his chest bones seem to be swelling a bit, and he describes it as feeling like there's a heavy weight there. Interestingly, he sometimes feels relief and no pressure on his chest after he passes bowel movements. Also, he has a sitting job as securitycould that be making his chest pain worse? Should we get an X-ray to find out what's going on, or is there a specific medication you might recommend?

Patient is advised tab pan d orally ,once daily and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 14 days .Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice daily.If symptoms persists orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.
