Question 1

I'm looking for a second opinion on a diagnosis we got. There's an 85% blockage in the main artery. Do you think we should go for stenting right away?

Accepted Answer

In case of 85% blockage in the main artery, stenting is often recommended to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of complications. The medication used for stenting is Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily, in addition to Aspirin 81mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

I'm 25 and just got my 2D echo mvp report. It says mvp grade I trivial MR and normal LV function. Should I be concerned about anything here? What exactly does this mean for my heart health, and do I need to take any action or follow-ups?

Accepted Answer

Your 2D echo report shows Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) with trivial Mitral Regurgitation (MR) and normal Left Ventricular (LV) function. Since you are 25 years old, it is important to monitor this condition regularly. You can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help manage symptoms and prevent complications associated with MVP.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of palpitations and difficulty breathing. These symptoms can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions like arrhythmias. Since your ECG results were normal, it is important to rule out other possible causes. I recommend you to try to stay hydrated, avoid excessive caffeine intake, and manage stress levels. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heartbeat and reduce palpitations. If symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

Question 6

I'm experiencing some pain in my shoulder and arm, and it seems to be affecting the left side of my chest too. It's making it a bit hard to breathe. My current weight is 68 kg. Can you help me figure out what this might be?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. The combination of pain in the left shoulder, arm, and chest, along with breathing problems, could be indicative of a heart issue. One common condition that presents with these symptoms is angina. I recommend you to take Aspirin 325mg immediately and call emergency services. It is important to seek medical attention promptly in such cases.
