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, and both the ECG and TMT turned out fine. Now I'm unsure if I should keep taking this tablet. My diabetologist says I should continue with Rosuvas 5. Could you help me figure out what to do?

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."

I've been having these sudden heart palpitations and some breathlessness since last week in May, and even when I do activities like slow walking or yoga, my heart rate spikes up to around 150-170. After seeing my cardiologist, I was on Inderal 10 mg for 2 months, but it didn't help much. Now I'm taking Betacap TR 40 and Daxid 25 mg, but sometimes my heart still races even when I'm just resting. My cardiologist mentioned that stress might be causing it. I'm really anxious to know when this might get better. I'm 31, breastfeeding, and all my tests like ECG, echo, thyroid, and sugar levels came back normal. I'm using my iWatch to track my heart ratehow reliable is that, or should I consider a different device?

Based on your symptoms and the medications you have tried, it seems like you are experiencing persistent tachycardia and palpitations despite the treatment. Since your cardiologist mentioned stress as a possible cause, it may take some time to see improvement as managing stress levels can be a gradual process. In addition to the medications you are currently taking (betacap tr 40 and daxid 25mg), your doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or trying other medications to better control your symptoms. It is important to continue following up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Regarding monitoring your heart rate, while devices like the Apple Watch can provide useful information, they may not always be as accurate as medical-grade monitoring devices. If you are experiencing persistent symptoms and want more accurate heart rate monitoring, you may consider investing in a dedicated heart rate monitor recommended by your healthcare provider. It is essential to continue working closely with your cardiologist to address your symptoms effectively and monitor your progress over time.

I'm really worried right now because my mom's been having chest pains. We took her to the doctor, and after doing the echo and ECG tests, they found out her ejection fraction is low, with an LVEF of 40-45. The doctor said we should wait 5 days for an angiography test, but I'm anxious. Do you think it's safe to wait that long or should we do it sooner?

Yes, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation to undergo the angiography test. This test will provide more information about the blood flow to the heart and help determine the best course of treatment for your mother's condition. Waiting for 5 days should not cause any harm, but it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and seek medical attention if there are any sudden changes or worsening of chest pain.
