Question 1

I'm having trouble sleeping for the past few days. I keep waking up in the middle of the night because I can feel my abdomen pulsating and my heart racing. It's making me really anxious. Could this be happening because of how I'm sleeping, or is it something to do with starting the gym a couple of weeks ago? I notice my abdomen pulsating every time I look, but I don't feel any pain in my chest or abdomen. Is this normal?

Question 2

I'm 26 and a few months back, I had a fever that went away in a week. Then, out of nowhere, my heart rate shot up to 144 bpm, and I felt like there was an air bubble in my chest. I got an ECG done, which showed minor ST and T wave abnormalities, and ...

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are experiencing, along with the ECG changes showing minor ST and T wave abnormality, could be indicative of a condition called Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs). PVCs are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). They may feel like a fluttering or a flip-flop in your chest. The sensation can be triggered by certain activities, emotions, or medications. To help manage your symptoms and reduce the occurrence of PVCs, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as **Propranolol (Inderal)** at a dosage of 10-30 mg three to four times a day. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the frequency of PVCs. Additionally, you can try to reduce stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend additional tests such as a Holter monitor or an event monitor to capture your heart's activity over an extended period. This will help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and guide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, try to avoid triggers such as caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco, which can exacerbate PVCs. Stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet, and get regular exercise to support your heart health. If you experience severe chest pain, dizziness, or fainting spells, seek immediate medical attention.

Question 4

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 55 and has been dealing with hypothyroidism for the past 15 years. Lately, her TSH levels shot up to 25, and her Anti Thyroglobulin Antibodies are at 230, though they should be around 4. To make things more comp...

Accepted Answer

Based on the reports you have provided, it seems like your mom is facing multiple health issues related to her hypothyroidism, elevated TSH levels, high anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, high calcium and phosphorus levels, type 2lv diastolic dysfunction, possible ischemia, and elevated cholesterol levels. 1. For Hypothyroidism with TSH level of 25 and high Anti Thyroglobulin Antibodies, she may need to adjust her current thyroid medication dosage. I recommend increasing the dosage of Levothyroxine to bring the TSH levels within the normal range. The dosage adjustment should be done under the supervision of her endocrinologist. 2. For high calcium and phosphorus levels, she may need to limit her intake of dairy products and foods high in phosphorus. Additionally, a medication like Calcitriol may be prescribed to help regulate calcium and phosphorus levels. Please consult with a nephrologist for further evaluation and management. 3. Type 2lv diastolic dysfunction indicates a problem with the relaxation of the heart muscle. Treatment may include medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril or ARBs like Losartan to help improve heart function. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further assessment and management. 4. Possible ischemia based on ECG findings requires further evaluation with a stress test or coronary angiography. Depending on the severity, medications like Aspirin, Clopidogrel, and statins such as Atorvastatin may be prescribed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Please consult with a cardiologist for a comprehensive cardiac evaluation. 5. With a cholesterol level of 203, lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and regular exercise are important. Medications like Atorvastatin may also be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Please ensure regular follow-up visits with the respective specialists to monitor her progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Question 5

I've noticed that when I'm just walking at a normal pace, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to around 130. I'm not doing any brisk walking, just regular walking. Is this something I should be concerned about? My ECG came out normal, but I'm still a bit w...

Accepted Answer

A pulse rate of 110-130 during normal walking can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular physical activity. Since you have already undergone an ECG and it was normal, it is a good sign that your heart is functioning well. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Question 6

I'm currently taking telmisat 40 mg and ctd 6.25 along with amlosafe 5mg as you suggested. My blood pressure was initially 15097, and while the upper number has dropped to 130, the lower part is still around 100. Do you have any advice on what I shou...

Accepted Answer

it seems like your systolic blood pressure has improved from 150 to 130 but the diastolic blood pressure is still elevated around 97. To further manage your blood pressure, I recommend adding a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg to your current regimen. This will help lower your diastolic blood pressure effectively. Please consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication."
