I'm 16 and recently had an electrocardiograph that showed I have incomplete RBBB. The doctors mentioned it might be related to my tonsils because they get inflamed a few times a year, and they're suggesting I get them removed. I tried finding more info about this link between tonsils and RBBB but didn't come across anything helpful. Could you explain how they're connected or if you've seen anything like this before?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. About a month ago, he had 2 stents put in, and since then, it's been tough for him. He can't eat much, has a dry cough, and feels weak all the time. Plus, whenever he takes pantoprazole before breakfast, he gets a headache. What could be going on? Is there anything we should be doing differently?
It sounds like your father may be experiencing side effects from the medication he is taking. The dry cough and weakness could be related to the stents or the medications he is on. The headache after taking pantoprazole could be a side effect of the medication. I would recommend discussing these symptoms with his doctor. In the meantime, he can try taking pantoprazole after breakfast to see if that helps with the headache. Additionally, he can try taking medications like Clopidogrel (Plavix) and Aspirin to prevent blood clots after stent placement.

I've been experiencing some occasional tingling or numbness on the left side of my chest, like maybe twice a week. It doesn't really hurt or anything. I've read online that it might be related to anxiety, but I don't feel anxious or stressed out. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or is it something normal?
Ecg is recommended along with serum electrolytes..

I'm really worried because my HDL is 38, and I've heard that kind of level can lead to heart disease. I'm feeling pretty scared about it and could really use some guidance. What can I do to improve it?
To improve your HDL level, you can make lifestyle changes such as: - Engaging in regular physical activity - Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats - Quitting smoking if you smoke - Limiting alcohol intake In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may also prescribe medications to help increase your HDL level. One such medication is Niacin (Vitamin B3), which can help raise HDL levels. The typical dosage for Niacin is 500-2000 mg per day, but it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage. Remember to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making significant lifestyle changes.
