Question 1

I'm really worried about someone who recovered from COVID three weeks ago but is still dealing with a persistent cough and some chest congestion. What concerns me more is that just yesterday, their heart rate shot up to 117, and even though it's come down to around 95 after taking one Evapump tab, I'm unsure if it's safe to use this medication whenever their pulse rate spikes. They tested negative for COVID twice with RT PCR recently. About two weeks ago, there was another incident where their pulse rate went all the way up to 157, with a blood pressure reading of 131 over 82. Can you let me know if these fluctuations are something to be concerned about and if this medication is the right way to manage it?

Question 2

I'm Bryan Das, and I'm 23 years old. A few years back, I had issues with heart palpitations and anxiety. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 after doing a bunch of tests, and I've been on it ever since. I keep an eye on my blood pressure, and it's usually around 12080 or 11775, so that's all good. I feel fine, except for the occasional heaviness in my head when I get acidity problems, but it's not frequent. I've recently been selected as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army, and I'm aware that there's some intense training ahead. Should I be concerned about the military training affecting my heart, and before starting, I'm planning to get into the routine of running or jogging about 3-5 km every morning. Is that safe for me, or are there any risks I should know about? My blood sugar and lipid profile are normal. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Accepted Answer

It's great to hear that your blood pressure remains stable with CIPLAR LA 40 and that your blood sugar and lipid profile tests are normal. With your medical history of heart palpitation and anxiety, it is important to proceed with caution when starting a new exercise routine, especially one as rigorous as military training. Running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is advisable to start slowly and gradually increase your intensity to assess your body's response. Given your stable blood pressure and normal test results, running can be beneficial for your overall health and fitness. However, it is essential to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard, especially if you experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It would be advisable to consult with your doctor or a cardiologist before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it is safe for you. As for military training, it is important to inform your trainers about your medical history and current medication. They can provide guidance on how to safely participate in the training activities. Regular monitoring of your heart rate and blood pressure during training sessions is also recommended to ensure your safety. In conclusion, running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is crucial to start gradually and listen to your body. Military training can also be safe with proper precautions and monitoring.

Question 3

I'm really worried because my tests showed I have a 22mm ASD and a Right bundle branch block. The doctors are recommending surgery, and I'm not sure how risky that is. Is the operation absolutely necessary? If it is, can you suggest where might be the best place for this surgery, and any idea how much it might cost?

Which arm to measure blood pressure right or left?

Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.
