I'm really concerned about my father's health after getting his ECG results. He's 72 and sometimes has high blood pressure. He's been taking ecospirin av 75 at night, and the report mentions sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. It's labeled as an abnormal ECG, and I'm honestly worried. Should we consider surgery, or is it safe for him to continue with the ecospirin av 75? Could you please guide us on the next steps?

"Based on the ECG report showing Sinus bradycardia, Right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality with possible lateral ischemia, it is important to consult a Cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Your father may need additional tests such as a stress test or coronary angiography to assess the extent of any blockages in the heart vessels. In terms of medication, Ecospirin AV 75 is a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin, which is commonly used for heart conditions. It is important to continue this medication as prescribed by the doctor unless advised otherwise. However, the dosage and frequency may need to be adjusted based on the cardiologist's recommendations. At this point, there is no indication for immediate surgery based on the information provided. The next steps will depend on the cardiologist's assessment of your father's overall cardiac health and the extent of any potential ischemia. Please schedule an appointment with a Cardiologist at the earliest to discuss the ECG findings and determine the appropriate course of action."

View allI'm currently taking metoprolol 50mg every day, and I've been on it for the past three years. I have mitral stenosis and am starting to get concerned about any long-term side effects tied to metoprolol. Could you please let me know what I should keep an eye out for?
taking metoprolol 50mg for 3 years with mitral stenosis can have some long-term side effects. Some common side effects of long-term metoprolol use include fatigue, dizziness, slow heart rate, and cold hands or feet. In some cases, it can also lead to worsening of heart failure symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while taking metoprolol. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation

I've noticed my blood pressure is usually around 10462 during the day, but when I'm resting or sleeping, it drops into the 9050s range. I've been keeping an eye on it for about a month and the pattern seems pretty consistent. I had an echocardiogram earlier this year, and it showed I have a diastolic relaxation abnormality. I'm wondering if this could be causing my low blood pressure? Could it lead to more heart-related complications, or is it normal for blood pressure to drop like this at night? I've been feeling really fatigued and low on energy no matter how much I sleep, and it's a bit worrying. What do you think?
Low blood pressure during rest or sleep can be influenced by various factors, including underlying conditions such as diastolic dysfunction. In your case, the diastolic relaxation abnormality noted in your echocardiography may contribute to the lower blood pressure readings, especially during periods of rest. This can potentially lead to symptoms of fatigue and lack of energy. To address this issue, it is important to manage the underlying diastolic dysfunction. In addition, ensuring an adequate intake of fluids and electrolytes can help stabilize blood pressure. If symptoms persist, medications such as Midodrine or Fludrocortisone may be prescribed to raise blood pressure levels, especially during periods of rest or sleep. However, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
