Question 1

I'm 22 and dealing with some heart-related issues. I had my heart checked, and they found mild MVP. I was put on a beta blocker, but it hasn't really helped with the intense chest pain Ive been experiencing. They've now suggested Flavedon MR for the pain. Do you think that's the right route, or should I be considering other medication options? I'm just not sure what to do next.

Accepted Answer

For your chest pain related to mild MVP, Flavedon MR can be a suitable medication to try. It contains Trimetazidine and helps in improving blood flow to the heart muscle. The usual dosage is 35 mg twice daily. However, if you do not find relief with Flavedon MR, you can discuss with your doctor about alternative medications such as Ranolazine or Ivabradine which may be more effective for your chest pain associated with MVP.

Question 2

I'm on ctd12.5 in the morning and bisoheart 5 mg at night for the last three years, which has mostly kept my blood pressure in check. But for the past week, my BP has been high at 160103. Could you let me know why this might be happening and what I s...

Accepted Answer

It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled despite your current medications. I would recommend increasing the dosage of your current medications or adding an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. You can consider increasing the dosage of CTD12.5 to CTD25 in the morning and Bisoheart 5 mg to Bisoheart 10 mg at night. However, it is important to consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Question 3

I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and shoulder when I walk. My TMT was negative, and everything else like the Echo and ECG came back normal. I don't have a history of illness, nor do I smoke or drink. Is there something I should...

Accepted Answer

Left side chest pain and left shoulder pain on walking without any history of illness, smoking, or drinking could be due to musculoskeletal issues or even anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent any potential cardiac events. Additionally, you can take acetaminophen (500mg) for pain relief as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended.

Question 4

I recently had a blood pressure reading of 140 over 100 and my doctor prescribed some medication. Later, I went through an echo and it turned out I have high anxiety. I'm curious, can echo tests really measure anxiety? And do you think this is someth...

Accepted Answer

Anxiety cannot be measured in an echocardiogram. Anxiety is a psychological condition that is typically diagnosed based on symptoms and a clinical evaluation by a mental health professional. Treatment for anxiety may include therapy, lifestyle modifications, and medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Sertraline. It is possible to manage and even overcome anxiety with the right treatment approach. However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed medications for both anxiety and high blood pressure to effectively manage both conditions.

Question 5

I've recently had a stress echo and it came back negative. Ten years ago, in 2011, I had an angiogram and it looked fine then too. In 2015, I went through a nuclear test, treadmill test, and some other checks, and they all turned out normal. Lately, ...

Accepted Answer

Based on your history of negative stress echo, normal angio in 2011, and normal nuclear test and TMT in 2015, it is less likely that your current symptoms are related to cardiac issues. However, it is important to consider other potential causes for your neck, ear, jaw, shoulder, and chest pain. Given your description of neck stiffness and pain, along with the presence of scoliosis affecting your posture, it is possible that your symptoms are musculoskeletal in nature. To address your current symptoms, you may benefit from a muscle relaxant such as **Cyclobenzaprine** 10mg to help with the neck and back stiffness. Additionally, you can consider taking **Ibuprofen** 400mg for pain relief. Since you mentioned tenderness in your chest and certain points, it may be helpful to rule out any musculoskeletal chest wall pain. However, considering your history and current symptoms, further cardiac testing may not be necessary at this point. To improve your posture and alleviate the neck and back pain, regular physiotherapy sessions focusing on postural correction and strengthening exercises may be beneficial. It is important to continue working with your physiotherapist to address the underlying cause of your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
