Question 2

Today I was feeling really breathless, so I decided to see a cardiologist. They had me do an ECG, and after looking it over, the doctor recommended getting another one in 23 days. Should I be worried about what my ECG showed? I'm also on antidepressa...

Accepted Answer

The QTc interval on your ECG appears to be prolonged, which can be a concern as it may lead to arrhythmias. Since you are on antidepressant medication, it is important to monitor this closely as some antidepressants can indeed prolong the QT interval. I recommend discussing this with your cardiologist and considering a change in medication if necessary. In the meantime, you may benefit from taking a medication like Escitalopram at a lower dose to reduce the risk of QT prolongation.

Question 3

I had an angiography a couple of months ago, and it showed there's about a 60-70% blockage in a main artery. I've been on oral medication for it, but I'm curiousare there other ways to check how much blockage is still there or if there's been any imp...

Accepted Answer

Angiography is a common procedure used to diagnose blockages in arteries. To check the current level of blockage and monitor improvements during treatment, a follow-up angiography can be performed. This will allow the doctors to visually assess the blockage and determine if there have been any improvements with the oral medications. One commonly used oral medication for treating blockages in arteries is Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-80 mg per day, depending on the severity of the condition. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Question 4

I've been dealing with anxiety-induced tachycardia and my resting heart rate used to be around 100-130 with a blood pressure of 130-14070-80 for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 mg and Amitone 10 mg, which I've been taking for the pas...

Accepted Answer

For anxiety-induced tachycardia, both Ciplar LA (propranolol) 40 mg and Metoprolol 25 mg are commonly used beta-blockers to help control heart rate and blood pressure. In your case, since you have already started taking Ciplar LA 40 mg and have noticed an improvement in your resting heart rate and blood pressure within 4 days, it seems to be working well for you. Therefore, I would recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 40 mg for the next month as prescribed by your doctor. It has shown effectiveness in reducing your heart rate and maintaining a normal blood pressure range. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

Question 5

I'm a bit worried because I've been taking Rosukem A1075 after getting diagnosed with T2DM in September 2018. The cardiac doctor I visited then suggested this medication for a normal ECG and echo. But I've just got my annual health checkup reports, a...

Accepted Answer

Since you were advised Rosukem A1075 by the cardiologist, it is important to follow their recommendation for your heart health. Rosukem A1075 contains Rosuvastatin 10mg and Aspirin 75mg, which helps in managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. As for your diabetologist's advice to continue Rosuvas 5, it contains Rosuvastatin 5mg which also helps in lowering cholesterol. It is important to follow both specialists' advice for optimal management of your conditions. So, you can continue taking Rosukem A1075 as advised by the cardiologist and Rosuvas 5 as advised by the diabetologist for your overall health."
