Question 1

I'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about my husband's health. His vitamin B12 levels are at 185, and his vitamin D is 6.7. Plus, his homocysteine is pretty high at 56. The doctor has mentioned he should take Nurokind Plus for a long time. Is there anything else he sh...

Accepted Answer

In addition to taking Nurokind Plus for his vitamin B12 deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and high homocysteine levels, your husband can also make some lifestyle changes to improve his HDL cholesterol levels. He should focus on incorporating more healthy fats into his diet, such as olive oil, avocados, and fatty fish like salmon. Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, can also help raise HDL levels. Additionally, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption can have a positive impact on HDL cholesterol.

Question 3

I recently got a TMT and got the results which have left me a bit confused and concerned. The report mentions that my resting ECG is normal, and my functional capacity and heart rate response during exercise are both listed as 'appropriate'. My blood...

Accepted Answer

Based on the findings of your TMT (Treadmill Stress Test), it appears that your overall impression is normal, but the conclusion mentions a positive result for reversible ischemia. To treat reversible ischemia, you can consider taking antiplatelet medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, along with a statin like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further ischemic events. Additionally, a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily can be prescribed to help manage any underlying cardiovascular conditions. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

I've been having this chest pain right in the center for the past 3 years, mostly when I'm exerting myself like lifting heavy stuff, climbing stairs, or riding in a fast-moving vehicle. I've had a coronary angiogram, and it came back normal. My echo ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can sometimes present with chest pain and bloating. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief of your symptoms. Additionally, you can try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, and not lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, you may need to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 5

I'm a bit concerned about my health after a routine check-up. I got my ECG report, and it mentioned a "normal ECG sinus rhythm" and something about an "RSR pattern in V1." Can you help me understand what that means? Should I be worried about this pattern?

Accepted Answer

The ECG report showing normal sinus rhythm with rsr' pattern in V1 indicates a normal heart rhythm with a possible sign of right bundle branch block. You don't need to worry about it.

Question 6

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure reading, which is 140103. Is it normal, or should I be worried? Can it be improved with lifestyle changes? Would love some advice.

Accepted Answer

A blood pressure reading of 140103 is considered high and warrants attention; while lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep can help lower blood pressure
