Question 1

I'm really puzzled about my friend's sudden passing. He was perfectly fine until about 10:30 in the morning, but out of nowhere, he had a severe cardiac arrest and died by 10:50. In the 48 days leading up to his death, he rarely ate food from home. I can't help but wonder if there might be anything like a slow poison that could have affected him. Could you shed some light on what might have happened?

Accepted Answer

While I understand your concern about potential poisoning given the changes in his eating habits, sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning even in people who appear healthy. The period of irregular eating could be related to various factors like stress, depression, or underlying health issues. If you have serious concerns about the circumstances, I would encourage you to share them with the relevant authorities and discuss with his family about requesting an autopsy if one hasn't been performed. Most importantly, please make sure you're getting support during this difficult time - losing someone suddenly is incredibly challenging, and it's natural to have questions and seek answers about what happened.

Question 2

I'm feeling pretty anxious because my ECG report showed T wave inversion, but the TMT test came back normal. I've attached both reports. Since finding out about the T wave inversion, I've started experiencing some chest pressure and slight pain, which I didn't feel before. I'm really concerned whether this could be something serious or if it's just stress-related. Any insight on why this might be happening?

Accepted Answer

T wave inversion on ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if the TMT test is normal. However, since you are experiencing chest pressure and slight pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause. In this case, considering your symptoms, it would be advisable to start medication to relieve chest pressure and pain. you can take Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day to reduce any acid-related symptoms that may be causing chest discomfort. It is also important to manage stress through relaxation techniques and regular exercise. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about my mom's heart condition. She had an angina PCI a few years ago and had two stents placed in her LAD and RCA. After five years, her doctor stopped clopidogrel and now she's only on aspirin and atorvastatin. I'm just wondering, does this sound right to you? Should we be worried about taking her off clopidogrel? Would love some advice on this.

Accepted Answer

Clopidogrel and atorvastatin both do the same action that it control the lipid profile.
So if she is taking aspirin and atorvastatin, i don't think there is a problem.
It's perfect.
No need to take both atorvastatin and clopidogrel.

I'm feeling really worried because my blood pressure is extremely high and it's just not coming down to normal levels. I've been taking cardace 5mg, but it doesn't seem to be working. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something else to manage my blood pressure?

u can shift on tab telmisartan H40mg+12.5 mg once daily with the repaet check of the BP after 1 week and also to maintain BP charting daily and to review after 7 days with the BP Charting in the opd.
