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?

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.

I'm a footballer and have been experiencing mild pain in my chest and back occasionally. All tests including ECG and echo came back normal when they were done in July, but the pain hasn't really stopped and sticks around for a while. Should I consider repeating these tests? How regularly do they need to be done for someone with my level of physical activity?

Since you are experiencing mild pain in your chest and back, especially during physical activity as a footballer, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Considering your active lifestyle, it is recommended to repeat the ECG and echo tests annually to ensure there are no changes in your heart function. This regular monitoring will help in early detection of any potential issues and ensure your heart is healthy enough to support your extensive training.

I'm kind of confused and worried about a few things related to my health and life after my CABG surgery back on December 30, 2013. I've been on tablets like ROSUFIT 10MG and MetXL 12.5 since then and was wondering if it's alright for me to play shuttle every day? Also, I've noticed my desire for intimacy is increasing, but my partner seems a bit drained with it all, which makes me feel pretty low the next morning. Is it safe to be intimate every day? Do you have any advice on how I could make things better with my partner?

1. Can I play shuttle every day after CABG done in 2013 using ROSUFIT 10MG and met-xl 12.5? Yes, you can play shuttle every day after CABG. Just make sure to follow your doctor's advice and take your medications as prescribed, including ROSUFIT 10MG and met-xl 12.5. 2. Sex feelings are increasing day by day but my partner is fed up with me, leading to depression the next morning. What should I do? It's important to communicate openly with your partner about your feelings and concerns. Consider seeking couples therapy or counseling to address any issues in your relationship. Additionally, managing stress and practicing self-care can help improve your mental well-being. 3. Is it safe to have sex every day after CABG? What can I do to satisfy my partner? It is generally safe to have sex after CABG, but it's important to listen to your body and not exert yourself excessively. To improve intimacy with your partner, focus on communication, emotional connection, and exploring new ways to express affection and love. If you have concerns about your sexual health, consider consulting a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm really concerned about my dad's health right now. A couple of years ago, he had bypass surgery and brain stenting, and he's been doing okay since then. But I've noticed that his pulse rate sometimes jumps to somewhere between 55 and 58 while he's resting and it goes even higher, to about 70 or 80, when hes walking. When hes sitting, it mostly remains at 55 to 58, whereas it used to be above 65. His blood pressure is 11570, and hes on a few medications like metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500. Should I be worried about these changes? He's not showing any symptoms or anything, but with the ongoing corona situation, we're hesitant to rush to the doctor for an ECG. Could this be normal, or is it something we need to look into?

His pulse rate dropping to 55-58 while resting and 70-80 after walking, with most of the time sitting at 55-58, is slightly lower than usual. Given his medical history of bypass surgery and brain stenting, along with the medications he is currently taking (metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500), it is important to monitor his heart rate closely. Considering he is feeling fine with no other symptoms, it may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it would be advisable to consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider discussing with his doctor about adjusting the dosage of metosartan 50 to help regulate his pulse rate within a normal range.
