Question 1

I'm really concerned about my pulse rate, as it's been hovering between 95 and 105 for the past four years. I'm feeling a mild discomfort in my heart again, similar to what I experienced last year. When I visited Ibrahim Cardiac in Bangladesh, everything seemed normalno blockages or anything serious. After some rest and medication, I felt a bit better, but my pulse didn't change. Now that I'm in Oman, I can't easily consult the same doctor. I'm 33 years old, not overweight at 74 kg, and 5.5 in height. Do you think I should be worried about this pulse rate or the mild heart pain coming back? What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

It would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a low dose of Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help manage your heart rate and alleviate any discomfort. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

This could be due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You can try taking over-the-counter medication like Imodium (Loperamide) 2mg after meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements.

Accepted Answer

It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.
