I'm a bit concerned about the results from my ECG. It shows an incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) with a QRS duration of 114 ms. Should I be worried about this, and are there any additional tests I might need to consider?

Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) or Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially in healthy individuals. However, it can also be associated with underlying heart conditions. Since your ECG shows IRBBB with a QRS duration of 114 ms, it is advisable to further evaluate this finding. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation, which may include additional tests such as an echocardiogram, stress test, or Holter monitor. These tests can help determine the underlying cause of the IRBBB and assess your cardiac health. It is important to monitor this condition and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to ensure proper management.

Question

I had a cardiac arrest back in 2007 and they found 25% blockage after an angiography at the hospital in Mumbai. Lately, for the last 15 days or so, I've been feeling weak pretty regularly. Had a Doppler and 2D echo test done in Jodhpur recently, and the doctor told me my heart is working at only 20%. I'm really concerned about this. What should I do next?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with hypertension for the past 8 years, and now she's caught a cold and has a cough. The doctor recommended she take Azithromycin 500 for five days. My question is, is it okay for her to mix this antibiotic with her blood pressure meds? I'm not sure if there's any interaction or something that we should be concerned about.

Question

I've been having shortness of breath and recently got an Echo done, which said there was mild LVH. A couple of days ago, I noticed a little blood when I spit, and my doctor recommended I take Augmentin 625 and Montair LC for a week. I've been on them for two days now, but I noticed bright red blood when I spit again today, with no mucus color. I also have GERD and have had this issue for more than six years. Could the medication or the GERD be causing this, or should I be worried about something more serious?
