I'm a bit worried about what my latest test results mean. It mentions sinus bradycardia with frequent PVCs, but no AV block or ischemic period. Also, my lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles all came back normal. I've been taking Cordarone 100. Could you explain what all this means for my health, and if there's anything specific I should be doing or watching out for?

SINUS bradycardia with frequent PVC can be managed with medication. Since you are already taking Cordarone 100, which contains Amiodarone, it is likely being used to treat the frequent PVCs. In addition to Cordarone, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce the PVCs. The dosage of Metoprolol can vary, but a common starting dose is around 25-50mg twice daily. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the dosage if needed.

View allI'm getting really tired when I dance or do even small heavy tasks, and I'm not sure why. I already had an ECG, and it came back normal. I'm just wondering if there's something else that could be causing this?
Feeling tired during physical activity could be due to various reasons, even if your ECG results are normal. One common reason for this could be iron deficiency anemia. I recommend you to take iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily after meals for a few months. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in iron and other essential nutrients. If the symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.

My dad had angioplasty a couple of months ago, and lately, hes been getting these red patches on his skin. They stick around for about 15 to 20 days and then disappear, only to pop up somewhere else on his body. Its been happening for the past month, and hes still on the meds the doctor gave him after the angioplasty. What could be causing these red patches?
The recurring red patches on your father's skin, healing and reappearing elsewhere, could be related to various factors, including allergic reactions to medications, skin infections, or autoimmune disorders; given his recent angioplasty and ongoing medication, consult his cardiologist or a dermatologist to rule out potential causes, such as drug-induced vasculitis or skin reactions to antiplatelet medications, and adjust his treatment plan accordingly.
