Question 1

I'm currently taking Ld 1075 mg capsules and I've also been using Rosumac Gold. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT test, and all the results came back normal. Six months ago, my sugar levels were high, so I'm keeping an eye on that. My lipid profile and cholesterol levels seem normal, but I'm still a bit worried.

Accepted Answer

A person with 50 percent artery blockage who is experiencing breathlessness and chest pain during physical activity may benefit from stenting. For this individual, I recommend considering the use of aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, the final decision on stenting should be made after consulting with a cardiologist. It's important to also make lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking to improve heart health."

Question 3

I'm really worried about the results from my ECG which said something about provocable myocardial ischemia, but I haven't had any cardiac symptoms of IHD. I'm only 48 years old and I'm not sure what this means for my heart health. Should I be concern...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you have a positive exercise tolerance test (ITT) for provocable myocardial ischemia without any cardiac symptoms for ischemic heart disease (IHD) at the age of 48. In this case, you may benefit from starting a medication like Atenolol (50-100mg daily) to help reduce the workload on your heart and prevent further episodes of ischemia. Additionally, adding a medication like Aspirin (75-150mg daily) can help reduce the risk of blood clot formation in your coronary arteries. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

I noticed there's a break in the lines on my ECG. Is that something to worry about? Also, could you let me know if there's anything else unusual in it?

Accepted Answer

Seeing a break in the lines on an ECG can sometimes be due to a technical issue or artifact rather than a medical problem. However, it is important to have a healthcare professional review the ECG to ensure accuracy of the results. If there are any abnormal findings on your ECG, it is best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Question 5

I'm a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?

Accepted Answer

A pulse rate of 130 when you wake up is considered high. It is possible that your previous COVID-19 infection could be a contributing factor to this elevated pulse rate. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.
