Question 1

I'm a bit concerned about my recent heart test results. I'm 53, usually pretty active, and not a blood pressure patient. My 2D echo came back with some terms that are worrying me a little, like concentric LVH and something about my aortic valve being sclerotic. The report mentioned a murmur sound, mild PAH, and a note about grade 1 LVDD. My LVEF is at 60%. Can you help me understand what all this means, especially the LVH and the sclerotic aortic valve? Should I be worried about these findings, even though the report says no RWMA, no effusion, and no clots?

Accepted Answer

Based on the report, the patient has Concentric LVH with Grade 1 LVDD, sclerotic aortic valve with trivial AR, mild PAH, and no significant abnormalities in the heart chambers. The ejection fraction is within the normal range at 60%. The patient's active lifestyle is a positive sign, but regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and manage any potential progression of the identified issues.

Question 2

I'm trying to get my blood pressure under control quickly. My cholesterol and creatinine levels are normal according to recent tests. I'm 6 feet tall, weigh 105 kg, and work from home. My BP reading was 14080. Could you suggest a tablet that would help control it?

Accepted Answer

Cholesterol is normal as per Lipid profile and creatinine is normal after test. My height is 6 feet and weight is 105 kg, work from home. BP showing: 14080. Please suggest me a tablet to get control. Based on your information, with a blood pressure reading of 14080, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg. It is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring.

Question 3

I'm having these weird palpitations and short jerks in my chest lasting just a couple of seconds, but it's not like they happen at any specific time. It really feels awkward when it happens, almost like my heart stops for a moment. What's strange is that even though I exercise regularly, I don't feel any pain in my chest. I've done ECG, 2D Echo, and Holter tests, and they all came back normal.

So, Im really wondering, do you think I might have some sort of cardiac blockage? Are these episodes a sign of something serious like a cardiac arrest in the future? Or if it's not something major with my heart, what else could be causing these jerks and palpitations?
