I'm really concerned about this condition called cough syncope. What kind of tests are usually done to confirm it? How can I be sure if what I'm experiencing is actually cough syncope?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To confirm a diagnosis of cough syncope, the following tests may be helpful: Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test can help rule out any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the syncope. Echocardiogram: This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart and can help evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Holter monitor: This is a portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity. It can help detect any irregular heart rhythms that may be associated with cough syncope. Tilt table test: This test involves being tilted at different angles to see if changes in position trigger syncope. Blood tests: These can help rule out other potential causes of syncope, such as anemia or electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate tests needed for an accurate diagnosis of cough syncope.

View allI've been experiencing this sharp, stinging pain in my chest and it seems to spread throughout my body. It's making me feel really disoriented. I'm getting a bit worried because it's happening more often. What could this possibly be, and should I be concerned enough to get it checked out?
These symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue such as a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with potential heart-related pain.

I'm trying to make sense of my recent test results. The CT angiography came back normal, but my treadmill test is mildly positive. I don't have any chest pain, my blood sugar is normal, and my lipid profile is good, but I do have high blood pressure. What does this all mean? Should I be worried about the mildly positive TMT even though everything else seems fine? What should be my next steps?
TMT showing mild positive results without chest pain could indicate a potential issue with the heart's blood supply. Since your CT angiography is normal and other parameters like blood sugar and lipid profile are also normal, it's important to focus on managing your blood pressure to reduce the risk of any further heart-related issues. You can start taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure effectively. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is essential to ensure it stays within a healthy range.

I recently got over Covid, testing negative on May 5th, 2021. Now, I've started experiencing some post-Covid symptoms like shortness of breath and a faster heartbeat. I had a Lipid Profile test done, and it turns out my cholesterol levels are high. I'm feeling a bit better now, but my doctor suggested I take some meds like Anleo DSR, Korandil 5, Montek AB, Vitoxy Plus, and Rozavel A for a month. Is it safe for me to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on these medications?
