Question 1

Respect sir, Ive been dealing with the effects of the second wave of COVID and was on steroids. Im a bit on the heavier side, weighing 140 kgs, and I have a fear of heart issues. While I dont have any diagnosed heart problems, I get really anxious whenever I see stuff about heart issues on TV or my phone. Sometimes I experience pain in my right hand, and although my ECG results are normal, it worries me. Should I be considering a TMT test, or is there another test I should look into for peace of mind?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and concerns, it would be advisable for you to undergo a TMT (Treadmill Stress Test) to assess your heart's function and detect any potential issues related to your chest pain and fear of heart problems. Additionally, considering your weight and fibromyalgia condition, it would be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm really worried about something. I've been dealing with diabetes for about three years now and high blood pressure for over 15 years. For that, I've been taking losium and istamate regularly. But lately, I've been experiencing a dry cough and feel...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you are experiencing some side effects from your current medications. The dry cough and gas could be related to the medications you are taking for diabetes and high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing symptoms related to your heart, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation. I recommend discussing with your doctor about switching from losium to a different medication for high blood pressure to see if that helps with the cough and gas. Additionally, you may benefit from a medication adjustment for your diabetes as well. For your heart condition, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss the possibility of undergoing an angiogram to assess the blood flow to your heart. In the meantime, make sure to monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels regularly, follow a healthy diet, and engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider.

Yes, it is important to seek medical attention for your worsening symptoms. In your case, since you have a history of mitral valve prolapse and severe palpitations affecting your quality of life, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, they may suggest lifestyle modifications and relaxation techniques to help improve your sleep quality and overall well-being.

Question 5

My brother is 18 and we've discovered that he has high blood pressure readings around 14070 or sometimes 15070. We've done a bunch of tests like ECG, EKG, ultrasound, renal Doppler, TSH, echo, and urine metanephrine serum tests, and they all came bac...

Accepted Answer

It's good that your brother has been proactive in monitoring his blood pressure and leading a healthy lifestyle. Despite these measures, essential hypertension can sometimes be challenging to control. Since the morning blood pressure reading is within a normal range, it's important to continue monitoring at different times of the day. In cases where blood pressure remains elevated, the dosage of the medication may need to be adjusted further. I recommend discussing with the doctor about potentially increasing the dose of Amlong to 7.5mg or exploring other medication options such as Telma (Telmisartan) 40mg. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help in managing blood pressure levels. Regular follow-ups with the doctor for monitoring and adjustments are essential in managing hypertension effectively."
