Question 1

I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

Accepted Answer

Consult with a cardiologist personally with detailed medical history

Question 2

I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

Question 3

My dad is 58 and has a lot going on with his health. He's been through CABG surgery and deals with CKD and diabetes. His weight is around 59-61 kg. Up until now, his blood pressure's been quite stable, but recently I noticed it's gone up to about 140150 over 8090. I'm getting pretty worried about it. Do you think there's something with his medication? He's on Orofer XT, Cardivas 6.25, Nefrosave forte, Alfoo tab, Ecospirin Gold, and Isolazine. Could any dietary changes help as well? Would love to know what you think.

Accepted Answer

Given your father's medical history and current medications, to help manage his increased blood pressure, you can consider adding an antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it's important to ensure he is following a low-sodium diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Encouraging regular physical activity and stress-reducing activities can also be beneficial for his overall health.

My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

do ECG to rule out
