Question 1

I've been tracking my blood pressure for the past six months, and I've noticed my diastolic pressure is consistently between 95 to 106 and my systolic pressure is from 118 to 135. My pulse rate stays between 95 to 113. Occasionally, I feel this heaviness in my chest and get a bit short of breath. When my readings are high, I usually take half a tablet of nebistar h, and sometimes an anxit, but never at the same time. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest that you may be experiencing hypertension and anxiety. Nebistar H is a combination medication containing Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide, which helps in lowering blood pressure. I recommend taking one tablet of Nebistar H (Nebivolol 5mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg) once daily in the morning. For anxiety, Anxit tablet can be helpful. Anxit contains Alprazolam, which is used to manage anxiety disorders. You can take one tablet of Anxit (Alprazolam 0.25mg) as needed when you feel anxious. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm still experiencing this pin-pointing chest pain even though my ECG was normal and my cholesterol level dropped from 207 to 140 after some diet changes. I also got a TMT done and it was negative. But now, the pain seems to be spreading to my left hand too. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

"Based on your symptoms and test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest and left hand pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to the pain. It is also important to continue following a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain your cholesterol levels. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I'm a little concerned about my mom's recent chest x-ray report. It mentioned borderline cardiomegaly and she's been getting treatment for tuberculosis. What exactly does borderline cardiomegaly mean? Should we be worried about it? Is this a serious issue? If it is, can it be treated?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
