Question 1

I've been experiencing this sharp pain on the lower left side of my chest for a while now. It usually goes away after some time, but it seems to come back every now and then, without any specific pattern. Should I be worried about this? Any idea what might be causing it?

Question 2

I'm lying down and my heart rate is around 54, but when I stand up it's 86. Is it normal for the heart rate to be under 60? My echo and TMT tests came back normal, but when I get up from bed, I feel dizzy. Should I be worried or is this something that happens often?

Accepted Answer

A heart rate of 54 beats per minute when lying down can be normal, especially if you are physically fit or athletic, as lower heart rates are common in these individuals. However, the dizziness you experience when standing up could indicate a condition known as orthostatic hypotension, where your blood pressure drops upon standing, leading to dizziness. It is good that your echocardiogram (echo) and treadmill test (TMT) are normal, but I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider. They may suggest additional tests, such as measuring your blood pressure and heart rate changes with position changes, to diagnose and manage the underlying cause of your dizziness.

Question 3

I'm really puzzled about my situation. I've been getting a stress positive result on my TMT test for the last five years, even though my angiogram came back normal and I don't have any heart issues. I'm just wondering what steps I can take or medicines I might need to help me eventually get a stress normal result. Could you give me some advice on this?

Accepted Answer

Albumin++ in your urine routine test indicates proteinuria, a sign of kidney damage or disease.

_Causes_

1. Kidney damage (nephropathy)
2. Diabetic nephropathy
3. Hypertension
4. Kidney stones
5. Urinary tract infection

_Treatment_

1. _Consult a nephrologist_: Schedule an appointment with a kidney specialist.
2. _Underlying cause treatment_: Address the underlying condition causing proteinuria.
3. _Medications_:
    - ACE inhibitors or ARBs to reduce proteinuria and blood pressure.
    - Diuretics to manage edema and blood pressure.
4. _Lifestyle modifications_:
    - Monitor and control blood pressure.
    - Manage blood sugar levels (if diabetic).
    - Reduce protein intake.
    - Increase fluid intake.
    - Exercise regularly.
    - Quit smoking.

_Follow-up tests_

1. Repeat urine tests to monitor proteinuria.
2. Blood tests to evaluate kidney function (eGFR, creatinine).
3. Imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan) to assess kidney damage.
