Question 1

What should I make of my recent ECG results that mention a sinus rhythm and the RS transition zone in 5 leads displaced to the right, but everything else seems normal? A couple of months ago, the ECG said LVH and possible lateral infarct and called it abnormal, even though it also noted a normal sinus rhythm. Back then, my blood pressure was 150100 with a pulse of 95, while now it's down to 13080 and my pulse is 81. Does this suggest an improvement in my heart condition?

Question 2

My dad is 58 and has a lot going on with his health. He's been through CABG surgery and deals with CKD and diabetes. His weight is around 59-61 kg. Up until now, his blood pressure's been quite stable, but recently I noticed it's gone up to about 140150 over 8090. I'm getting pretty worried about it. Do you think there's something with his medication? He's on Orofer XT, Cardivas 6.25, Nefrosave forte, Alfoo tab, Ecospirin Gold, and Isolazine. Could any dietary changes help as well? Would love to know what you think.

Accepted Answer

Given your father's medical history and current medications, to help manage his increased blood pressure, you can consider adding an antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it's important to ensure he is following a low-sodium diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Encouraging regular physical activity and stress-reducing activities can also be beneficial for his overall health.

Question 3

I'm experiencing some discomfort in my heart from time to time, and I recently had an ECG done, which came back with something called "borderline." I'm a bit worried and curious to know if there are any tablets or treatments for heart blockages that I should consider. Could you help explain what "borderline" means and if it's something I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to heart blockages. In such cases, medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel can be prescribed to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Regarding your ECG showing borderline changes, this could indicate potential issues with the heart's electrical activity. It is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
