I recently used a BP machine, and it showed that I have an irregular heartbeat. I went ahead and did an ECG. Can an ECG detect any sort of irregular heartbeat? I'm a bit concerned and hoping for some clarity.

View allI'm really worried about my husband's blood pressure. He's been taking amlopidine 5mg, but his BP was still 149110. The doctor suggested adding telmac 40mg, and now his BP is around 12185 and 11775. He's not feeling well, though. I'm thinking maybe 40mg is too much for him. Could I try giving him half the dose of telmac instead?
It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Telmisartan without consulting your doctor. Telmisartan 40mg is a standard starting dose for hypertension, and it is important to follow your doctor's instructions. If your husband is not feeling well, it is best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a strong pulse right below my ribcage. It lasts for a couple of seconds and then sometimes it comes back either 10 seconds or an hour later. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly be?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat. In this case, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Remember to follow your doctor's recommendations and keep track of any changes in your symptoms.

I'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.
"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."
