I'm currently taking Nexito Plus and Propranolol. I'm wondering if these medications could be affecting my ECG results? Also, I'm dealing with gastritis right now. Could that be related to or affecting my heart health?

The combination of Nexito Plus (Escitalopram, Clonazepam, and Nortriptyline) and Propranolol can potentially have an effect on your ECG due to their cardiac side effects. Propranolol, in particular, can cause changes in heart rate and rhythm which may be reflected in an ECG. It is important to monitor your heart health regularly while taking these medications. Additionally, since you are experiencing gastritis problems, it's important to note that Propranolol can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues. It would be advisable to discuss these concerns with your healthcare provider to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your medication regimen.

View allI'm really worried about my dad's recent angiography test results. It showed he has a 100% blockage in two arteries and 95% in a third artery, with just one vein working properly. I'm trying to understand if he should consider bypass surgery or angioplasty. Which option is generally more effective for extending lifespan?
For blockages of 100% in two arteries and 95% in the third artery, bypass surgery would be more effective in this case. Bypass surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle, bypassing the blocked arteries. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms such as chest pain. It is also known to extend lifespan and reduce the risk of future heart attacks compared to angioplasty. The patient should consult with a cardiac surgeon to discuss the best treatment option and further details regarding the bypass surgery procedure and post-operative care.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been experiencing chest pain sometimes when I take deep breaths, and I also find myself getting out of breath when I'm walking or using the stairs. My cholesterol numbers came back with a total of 274, HDL at 49, and triglycerides at 193. I'm currently taking Storvas 20 and have been on it for about 20 days now. Can you advise on what steps I should take or if there's anything else I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms and cholesterol levels, it is important to continue taking Storvas 20 to help lower your cholesterol levels. In addition, you may benefit from adding an antiplatelet medication like Aspirin 75mg to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking if you smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
