I just got my EKG report and it says "borderline ECG." I went to the cardiologist for surgery clearance for bariatric surgery. Should I be worried about this result? Could this affect my surgery? What does "borderline ECG" mean exactly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Borderline ECG means that the results of your electrocardiogram are not definitively normal or abnormal. It could indicate a variety of issues or it could simply be a variation of normal for you. It is important to discuss these results further with your cardiologist to determine if any additional testing or monitoring is needed.

View allI'm worried about my husband's cholesterol level, which just came back at 214 mgdL. Is this considered high? What are some ways we can try to manage it without medication?
Continuous bleeding 3 months post-delivery is not normal. This condition is known as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) or prolonged lochia. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Hormonal imbalance_: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can cause irregular bleeding. 2. _Uterine atony_: The uterus may not have contracted properly after delivery, leading to excessive bleeding. 3. _Retained placental tissue_: Small pieces of placenta may still be present in the uterus, causing bleeding. 4. _Infection_: Uterine infection or endometritis can cause prolonged bleeding. _Remedies and Solutions_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your obstetrician to rule out any underlying conditions. 2. _Ultrasound scan_: Your doctor may recommend an ultrasound scan to check for retained placental tissue or other abnormalities. 3. _Hormonal treatment_: Your doctor may prescribe hormonal medications to help regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce bleeding. 4. _Antibiotics_: If an infection is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat it. _When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_ 1. _Heavy bleeding_: If you experience heavy bleeding, soaking more than 2-3 pads or tampons per hour. 2. _Severe abdominal pain_: If you experience severe abdominal pain, cramping, or tenderness. 3. _Fever_: If you have a fever above 100.4F (38C). 4. _Dizziness or fainting_: If you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.

I'm really worried because I've been having this chest pain for the last 40 days. It used to be constant, but now it just comes and goes. I feel this heaviness in my left chest, and then it moves to the right. Sometimes there's this sharp pinch that lasts like two seconds, and I'm also burping a lot when I sit down. I've already done an ECG, which I've attached. Can you give me any advice or suggest any medication?
Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the description of your pain and symptoms, it could also be related to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend starting with an antacid medication like **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take **Simethicone** for relief from burping. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm currently taking Inbloc 5mg twice a day since 2014 for my high BP and haven't been given an end date for it. I'm wondering if there's any way I can manage my high blood pressure without relying on medication like this forever. Also, I'm curious if I can switch to another medication like Nelovin Forte 5mg, C UDP, or Cilday 5mg instead of Inbloc. What are your thoughts?
yes C UDP can be used for hypertension. it is a calcium channel blocker
