I'm a bit concerned as my recent blood test showed a triglyceride level of 143. I'm wondering if that's considered high and if I should be worried about it. Do you think I need to take medicine for this, or are there lifestyle changes that could help lower my levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Triglyceride level of 143 is within the normal range. To help reduce triglyceride levels, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. You can also consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to your diet. No medication is required at this level.

View allI'm 50 years old and was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse at 18, but there's no blood regurgitation according to my echocardiogram. I checked with a doctor about 8 years ago, and they said it's not something to worry about. Should I mention this condition when getting my COVID-19 vaccine?
An ECG report indicating sinus rhythm, normal axis, and T and ST wave abnormalities suggests potential cardiac issues. While not necessarily serious, it requires further evaluation. Consider: Next Steps 1. Consult a cardiologist for interpretation and guidance. 2. Additional tests: Holter monitor, echocardiogram, or stress test. 3. Review medical history and medications.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49, weighs 78 kg, and is 4.9 ft tall. She recently had this awful left side lower back pain and ended up taking Ultracet on her own. But then she had around 67 vomiting episodes, which freaked us out. We rushed her to the hospital and the ECG showed T wave inversion in the chest leads and left axis deviation. What does all this mean? Should I be really concerned?
It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.

I've been feeling some pain in my chest, shoulder, and back, and the doctor thinks it might be diastolic dysfunction grade one. Is this something serious? I'm really curious about whether this condition can be cured. Also, does what I eat or how much I exercise make a difference in dealing with this issue? The doctor gave me some medicine, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
Yes that is reversible,no need to worry follow your doctors advice
