I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal T wave, and now they've told me to see a cardiologist. I'm not sure how serious this is. Should I be worried, and what should my next steps be?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In ECG, an abnormal T wave can indicate various heart conditions. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as beta-blockers. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management are also important. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.

View allI'm really worried because my father recently had a heart attack on June 4th, and the doctor said he needs a CT angiography. The report came back saying his right arteries are blocked by 100%, 90%, and 70%. I'm not sure what we should do next. Could you tell me what steps we should be taking and maybe give me an idea of how much a bypass surgery might cost?
Based on the CT angiography report showing significant blockages in the right arteries, the next step would be to consult with a cardiac surgeon for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The surgery involves using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. As for the approximate cost of bypass surgery, it can vary depending on the hospital, location, and specific circumstances of the surgery. On average, the cost of CABG surgery can range from $20,000 to $50,000 or more. It is recommended to consult with the hospital or healthcare provider for a more accurate estimate based on your father's condition and the chosen medical facility.

I'm taking Eliquis 5mg twice daily since I had a pulmonary thrombosis embolism a while back. I'm doing well now, but my doctor advised me to stay on it for life. I'm really curious about what the long-term side effects could be with this medication because I'd want to adjust my diet and lifestyle accordingly. Can you share some insights?
Eliquis (Apixaban) is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant used for preventing blood clots. Some potential side effects of Eliquis in the long run may include an increased risk of bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bruising, or prolonged bleeding from cuts. It is important to be cautious when participating in activities that may increase the risk of injury. Additionally, some individuals may experience gastrointestinal issues like stomach pain or indigestion. To minimize the risk of side effects while taking Eliquis, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and staying hydrated. It is also important to inform any healthcare providers about your Eliquis use before undergoing any medical procedures or surgeries to prevent excessive bleeding.

I'm 25 and have been having trouble breathing for about 6 months now. I got a 2D echo done, and it says I have mitral valve prolapse with mild mitral regurgitation and type 1 diastolic dysfunction. How serious is this, and is there a chance it could get worse over the next few years?
