So, my dad had an angioplasty done on October 20th, and while he's getting better, he's been dealing with toothache, something he had before. I'm wondering if he could take a becosule tablet for that. Would that be safe, or might it cause any issues with his heart condition?

Becosule tablet is a multivitamin supplement that contains Vitamin B complex. It is generally safe to take after angioplasty, as Vitamin B complex is important for overall health and well-being. However, it is always best to consult with your father's cardiologist before starting any new medication, including over-the-counter supplements, to ensure there are no potential interactions with his current medications or health condition. If the cardiologist approves, the usual dosage of Becosule tablet for adults is one tablet once daily.

I'm really confused about this whole ventricular tachycardia situation. At first, they thought I needed an ICD implant, but after more tests like echo, angiography, and X-ray at SGPGI Lucknow, they said my heart looks fine and don't recommend the implant anymore. I'm worried because they still haven't figured out what's causing my irregular heartbeat. What could be going on, and what should I do next?

The cause of ventricular tachycardia can be multifactorial, and sometimes it may not be easily identified. Some possible causes include coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, electrolyte imbalances, structural heart defects, or certain medications. In some cases, it may be idiopathic, meaning no specific cause can be found. To further investigate the cause of your irregular heartbeat, additional tests may be needed such as a Holter monitor to record your heart's electrical activity over a period of time, an electrophysiology study to evaluate the heart's electrical system, or genetic testing if there is a suspicion of an inherited condition. In terms of treatment, if the cause of the ventricular tachycardia is not identified, management may involve medications such as beta-blockers or antiarrhythmic drugs to help control the heart rhythm. Lifestyle modifications such as avoiding triggers like caffeine or alcohol, managing stress, and regular exercise may also be beneficial. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed based on your symptoms and test results.

Based on the description of your symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The combination of heart pain, lower shoulder and back pain, heavy breathing, constant fatigue, and occasional nausea could be indicative of a serious underlying condition.
