Question 1

I'm a bit concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. My heart sometimes feels like it's pounding even when I'm just standing. There are times when I can feel my radial artery and it seems like my heartbeat pauses and then starts again. I had an ECG done earlier, and it showed something like an incomplete RBBB with ST and T changes. I even occasionally feel a pulse in my back. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried about these results?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to an irregular heartbeat. Based on your description and ECG findings of incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) with ST and T changes, you may benefit from a medication called Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50mg twice daily, but the dosage may vary depending on your specific condition and response to the medication. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been noticing this pain in the center of my chest that lasts for a few minutes and just comes and goes. Should I be worried that it's something serious?

Accepted Answer

Chest pain can be caused by various reasons, some of which can be serious. It is important to rule out any heart-related issues. I recommend you to take an ECG test to check your heart's electrical activity. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief as needed. If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention immediately.

Accepted Answer

no

Question 4

I'm a bit confused about the changes in my LVEF readings. Initially, my echo showed an LVEF of 55, but a month later, it increased to 70, just 30 minutes after undergoing a TMT. Is it normal to have such variations, and should I be concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

The increase in Lvef from 55 to 70 after 30 minutes of tmt could be due to the positive effects of the medication. To maintain and improve your heart function, you can continue taking medications like Carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily and Lisinopril 10 mg once daily as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Regular follow-up with your doctor is important to monitor your heart function and adjust your treatment plan if needed.

I'm feeling really tense and I'm worried it might cause a heart attack. I feel weak and lazy, but everything else seems normal. I'm currently out of town for work. Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Stress and tension can contribute to an increased risk of heart attack, especially if it is chronic and not properly managed. To help alleviate your symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider taking a medication like Propranolol (40mg) to help with anxiety and physical symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and getting regular exercise can also be beneficial.
