Question 1

I'm really concerned about my mom's health after she had COVID. She's been feeling really weak and is sweating a lot at night. Her blood pressure sometimes drops below 60100, but then it goes back up after she eats something or takes supplements. I'm not sure what's going on or what we should do about it. Can you give me some advice?

Question 2

I'm really worried about this situation where someone feels tired and uneasy in their chest after walking a short distance. Even though all the medical tests like the blood sugar, ECG, and X-ray came back normal, they still need to rest before they can keep going. What could be causing this, and what should we do next?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your symptoms could be related to angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Since your check-up results were normal, it's important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your doctor if they persist or worsen. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like **Aspirin** 75mg once daily to help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of blood clots. Additionally, **Nitroglycerin** sublingual tablets can be taken as needed for chest pain relief (0.4mg every 5 minutes, up to 3 doses). Remember to always carry your nitroglycerin with you in case of emergency. If your symptoms continue, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

Question 3

I'm feeling worried because I've been experiencing chest discomfort and shortness of breath for the past three months. I recently got my blood report back, and it shows my lymphocytes level is at 55. Should I be concerned about that? Also, my ECG, echocardiogram, PFT, and chest X-rays came back normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and normal test results, a high percentage of lymphocytes in the blood may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation. However, since your other tests are normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart or lung condition. To address the chest discomfort and shortness of breath, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids for possible acid reflux or GERD symptoms. Additionally, you can take a short course of antibiotics like Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days to cover any potential infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm currently on Brilinta 90 twice daily. Is it possible to switch to Axcer? I've never tried Axcer before and I'm curious if it's a good alternative. What should I consider before making a change like this?
