Question

My grandmother's heart efficiency is just 20 percent, and she's also dealing with jaundice and has a stone stuck in her food pipe. The doctor mentioned surgery, but I'm a bit worried since the low heart efficiency might mean she has some heart issues, right? I'm just trying to figure out what's best for her. What should we do in this situation?

Question

I've been wondering about the medication I'm on since I was diagnosed back in January 2013 with a 70% blockage in the LAD due to a rupture plaque. For the past three years, I've been taking Telma H80, Nebicard 5, and Ecosprin av75 daily. I'm curious, how long will I need to continue taking these meds? Are there any additional precautions I should be considering? I walk a lot, about 6-7 km daily, and have no trouble climbing up 3-4 floors of stairs. I'm 40 years old, with a weight of 102 kg, and my blood reports are normal. What do you think?

Question

I'm 24 and I spend a lot of time sitting because of my job. My pulse rate seems to bounce between 92 and 110. Is it normal for it to be that high at my age? I'm a bit worried if it's something I should be concerned about.

Question

I'm Sanjay, and I've been dealing with this small pin-point pain in my chest for the last two months. I saw a local doctor who suggested getting an ECG and blood tests. After the tests, he said my heart's fine and linked the pain to gastric issues. He prescribed Rablet D and Met XL. Could you have a look at my ECG and let me know if there's really no heart issue? I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, weighing 59 kg, and I'm 158 cm tall. I've uploaded my ECG, blood test, and TMT 2D Echo reports. Can you help me figure this out?
