I'm 36 and dealing with high cholesterol, but my heart checkup in May 2019 was all clear except for that. Just a couple of days ago, I suddenly got dizzy and sweaty during dinner, but I didn't have chest pain or trouble breathing. When I went to the hospital, they did two ECGs a couple of hours apart, and the doctor noticed some changes. They said my blood Troponin levels were negative though. Should I be worried about these changes in the ECG? Is it something I need to look into further?

Based on the information provided, it is important to follow up on the changes noted in your ECG to rule out any potential cardiac issues. The presence of dizziness and sweating, along with ECG changes, warrants further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, to help manage your high cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily, as prescribed by your healthcare provider."

I'm trying to understand my echo report. It says all chamber sizes are normal, there's no regurgitation, and valve morphology is normal, with normal LV function. But it doesn't mention anything about pulmonary artery pressure. Does this mean my pulmonary pressure is normal? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarity on this.

I've been on Tazloc Beta 25 for about 3 years now, and I've noticed something odd with my liver function tests. I've had them done three times during this period, and each time my total bilirubin levels have been between 1.33 and 1.45. Before I started taking the BP pills, my liver tests were always normal. Do you think the medication could be affecting my liver, or could there be another reason for this change? I haven't noticed any liver-related symptoms, but it's a bit concerning. Could you shed some light on this?

The medication Tazloc Beta 25 contains Telmisartan and Metoprolol, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. While these medications are generally well-tolerated, they can rarely cause liver enzyme abnormalities in some individuals. Since your total bilirubin levels have been elevated since starting the medication, it is possible that Tazloc Beta 25 may be contributing to this change in your LFT results. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to evaluate the need for further investigation or potential adjustment of your medication.
