I took an ECG and 2D Echo test today and got some numbers that are worrying me a bit. My EDV is 83ml, ESV is 28ml, and SV is 55ml, which apparently are below normal. Also, my IVSs ivsd LVPWD measurements were on the higher end of normal limits. Is this something I should be concerned about?

The values of EDV (End-Diastolic Volume), ESV (End-Systolic Volume), and SV (Stroke Volume) from your 2D Echo test indicate that your heart's pumping function may be below normal. The IVSs (Interventricular Septum thickness in systole), IVSd (Interventricular Septum thickness in diastole), and LVPWD (Left Ventricular Posterior Wall thickness in diastole) being on the higher end of normal limits may suggest some thickening of the heart walls. Based on these findings, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, they may recommend medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril or Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help improve your heart function. The dosage will vary based on your individual condition, so please consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

I'm really worried because my blood pressure has been reading 150100 three times, and I've been taking Ozotel H as my doctor prescribed. I've been on the medication for the last three days, but I haven't seen any improvement in the readings yet. The doctor advised me to wait another two to three days, but I'm scared about the possibility of having to take medication for the rest of my life. I lead an active lifestyle, exercise daily, and there's no family history of high BP. I weigh 70 kg, am 5'7", and am 33 years old. Is there anything else I can do to lower my blood pressure?

It seems like you are experiencing high blood pressure while taking antibiotics for your cold. Ozotel H is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Since your blood pressure readings have not decreased significantly after three days of taking Ozotel H, it is important to follow your doctor's advice to wait for another two to three days. In addition to medication, lifestyle modifications can also help in managing high blood pressure. Since you are already doing daily exercise, continue with your exercise routine as it can help lower blood pressure. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure readings do not improve or if you have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad who's been admitted to Nayati hospital in Mathura. He just got diagnosed with complete RBBB today. I'm in a bit of a dilemma about whether we should delay the angioplasty and find a doctor in Delhi NCR or just go ahead and get it done in Mathura. What I'm really curious about is if there's much difference in the quality of angioplasty between Mathura and Delhi. Is it risky to delay the procedure or is it fine to go with the doctors here in Mathura?

In general, the quality of angioplasty procedures can vary between hospitals and regions. However, Delhi NCR is known for having a higher concentration of top-tier hospitals and experienced cardiologists compared to Mathura. If the angioplasty is needed urgently and your father's condition requires immediate attention, it may be advisable to consider getting the procedure done in Delhi NCR where there may be more advanced facilities and expertise available. As for the decision to delay the angioplasty, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare team to assess the risks and benefits based on his specific medical condition and overall health. Delaying the procedure may pose risks in certain cases, so it is crucial to follow the advice of the medical professionals overseeing your father's care. If you decide to seek a doctor in Delhi NCR for the angioplasty, you can consider consulting with specialists at reputed hospitals like AIIMS, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, or Medanta - The Medicity for further evaluation and treatment."
