I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this pain in the middle of my chest, and when I got an ECG, it showed an abnormal Q wave in lead 3. It's the same result as a year ago when I had an ECG and then went through a TMT and an echo which both came back normal. Should I be getting another echo and TMT done now, or is it okay to hold off? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Based on your history of chest pain and abnormal q wave in lead 3 on ECG, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health. Since your previous TMT and echo were normal, it is reassuring. However, given the persistent abnormal q wave on ECG, it would be advisable to repeat the TMT and echo to ensure there have been no changes in your heart function. I recommend you to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss the need for repeating the tests.

View allMy dad is 58 and has a lot going on with his health. He's been through CABG surgery and deals with CKD and diabetes. His weight is around 59-61 kg. Up until now, his blood pressure's been quite stable, but recently I noticed it's gone up to about 140150 over 8090. I'm getting pretty worried about it. Do you think there's something with his medication? He's on Orofer XT, Cardivas 6.25, Nefrosave forte, Alfoo tab, Ecospirin Gold, and Isolazine. Could any dietary changes help as well? Would love to know what you think.
Given your father's medical history and current medications, to help manage his increased blood pressure, you can consider adding an antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it's important to ensure he is following a low-sodium diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Encouraging regular physical activity and stress-reducing activities can also be beneficial for his overall health.

I'm feeling really concerned because my sister has been diagnosed with RBBB after an ECG, and her vitamin B12 levels are only 128. I've heard about rejunex 1500 injections and was wondering if it would be okay for her to take that. Is it safe for someone with her condition?
Rejunex 1500 injection contains Methylcobalamin which is a form of Vitamin B12. It is commonly used to treat Vitamin B12 deficiency. In this case, since your sister has a low Vitamin B12 level of 128, you can give her Rejunex 1500 injection. The usual dosage for Vitamin B12 deficiency is 1000-1500 mcg injected intramuscularly once daily for 1 week, then once weekly for 4 weeks, and then once monthly. Please consult with a healthcare professional for the appropriate dosage and administration schedule for your sister's specific condition.

I'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.
Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.
