Question 1

I'm 24 and recently found out I have sinus tachycardia and Grade 1 MVP. My Holter monitor showed a few ectopics, and I've been having anxiety that pushes my heart rate to around 130 bpm when I go out. My doctor suggested taking INDERAL 10 twice a day, but I'm worried. I've heard that once you start on beta blockers, you can't stop them. Is that true? Should I really begin this medication?

Accepted Answer

Inderal (propranolol) can be an effective treatment for managing your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. However, it is essential to work closely with your doctor to ensure the medication is appropriately adjusted for your need

Question 2

I'm really curious about something regarding a heart failure patient who has COPD, severe LV dysfunction, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and hyponatremia. Why would Montair LC be prescribed in this case? I've heard it being used for respiratory condit...

Accepted Answer

Montair LC is given to heart failure patients with COPD, severe LV dysfunction, hypothyroidism, HTN, and hyponatremia to help manage their asthma symptoms. Montair LC is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast helps in reducing inflammation in the airways, which can be beneficial for patients with COPD and asthma. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that can help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching caused by allergies. The dosage of Montair LC can vary depending on the patient's condition, so it is important to follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider.

Question 3

I'm experiencing this mild pain that sort of comes and goes in random parts of my chest. It's like someone's pressing down on it. Sometimes it's on the right side, other times on the left, and occasionally in the center. Should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing random chest pains. This could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, anxiety, or even digestive issues. However, it is important to rule out any serious conditions. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

I'm feeling really bloated and my stomach is causing me some breathing troubles. On top of that, I'm suddenly experiencing a lot of anxiety. Could this be linked to a heart problem? I'm really concerned and would love some insight.

Question 5

I've had a CT angiogram done two years ago, and it came out normal. But now I've been told I need to repeat the test because my lipid profile is high. I attached my reports from two years ago, and they were the same back then. I'm feeling really worr...

Accepted Answer

if your CT angiogram from 2 years ago was normal and your lipid profile is high now, it may be necessary to repeat the CT angiogram to assess for any changes in your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Question 6

I'm noticing that my heart rate goes up whenever I eat eggs or meat, and it's a bit worrying because I've already consulted a cardiologist who said I don't have any heart problems. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Increased heart rate after consuming certain foods like eggs or meat could be due to food sensitivities or allergies. In some cases, certain food additives or preservatives can also trigger such a response. To help manage this, you can try taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) at a dose of 10mg before consuming these foods. Additionally, you can also try avoiding these trigger foods to see if your symptoms improve.
