Question 1

I'm really concerned about my pulse rate, as it's been hovering between 95 and 105 for the past four years. I'm feeling a mild discomfort in my heart again, similar to what I experienced last year. When I visited Ibrahim Cardiac in Bangladesh, everything seemed normalno blockages or anything serious. After some rest and medication, I felt a bit better, but my pulse didn't change. Now that I'm in Oman, I can't easily consult the same doctor. I'm 33 years old, not overweight at 74 kg, and 5.5 in height. Do you think I should be worried about this pulse rate or the mild heart pain coming back? What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

It would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a low dose of Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help manage your heart rate and alleviate any discomfort. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 2

I've been having this left upper chest pain along with a sensation of irritation or discomfort near the right side of my throat and towards the end of my molar teeth for the last 3-4 days. It's really worrying me. About 2 months ago, I had some heart tests done, but everything came back normal. I do have a BP of 14090 though and was taking TELMA H for two months. I quit smoking 6 months ago and used to smoke around 23 cigarettes a day. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

Accepted Answer

GERD take pantop 40mg for 3days

Question 3

I'm feeling worried because I've been experiencing chest discomfort and shortness of breath for the past three months. I recently got my blood report back, and it shows my lymphocytes level is at 55. Should I be concerned about that? Also, my ECG, echocardiogram, PFT, and chest X-rays came back normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and normal test results, a high percentage of lymphocytes in the blood may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation. However, since your other tests are normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart or lung condition. To address the chest discomfort and shortness of breath, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids for possible acid reflux or GERD symptoms. Additionally, you can take a short course of antibiotics like Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days to cover any potential infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
