Question 1

I'm really concerned because my TMT came back positive and I've been told I've got a heart problem. What should I do now? How serious is this, and what's the next step?

Accepted Answer

Based on your positive TMT result and heart problem, I would recommend that you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you should also consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been having this really strange issue where my blood circulation seems to stop only when I'm asleep, but it returns to normal once I wake up. This has been happening for more than eight months now. I was on migraine medication for about five mon...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing sleep-related circulatory issues, possibly exacerbated by the migraine medications you were taking. I recommend consulting with a doctor to evaluate your symptoms further. In the meantime, you can try taking aspirin at a low dose (75-100mg) before bedtime to help improve blood circulation during sleep. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can also help improve overall circulation.

Question 3

I just got a new Dr. Morepen pulse oximeter and while checking my heart rate and oxygen levels, it showed a message about a suspected occasional short pulse interval. Should I be concerned about this? I had a mild Covid infection last year and experi...

Accepted Answer

An echo is advised to the patient.

Question 4

I was really stressed out and had a day where I experienced palpitations. It's been about a month since then, and I went in for both an ECG and an echocardiogram. The doctors told me everything looked normal, but I noticed a Q wave in lead 3 on my EC...

Accepted Answer

Seeing a q wave in lead 3 on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant and not necessarily indicative of any heart condition. However, it is important to consider the overall clinical context and additional factors. In this case, since your ECG and echo results were reported as normal by your doctors, it is likely that the q wave in lead 3 is not a cause for concern. It would be advisable to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for any further evaluation if needed.

Question 5

I'm looking at my echocardiography report and I'm a bit worried. It says things like IVSTD 03 mm, LVPWD 07 mm, LVIDd 70 mm, FS 13, LVIDs 61 mm, and EF 28. I'm not sure what all of that means, but I'm concerned about whether these measurements are oka...

Accepted Answer

Based on your echocardiography report, it indicates that you have a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 28%, which is below the normal range (55-70%). This may indicate a decrease in the pumping function of your heart. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you may be prescribed medications such as Carvedilol

Question 6

Could you explain what the echo report indicates? The patient already has two stents due to previous blockages, and I'm concerned about what that means for their current condition.

Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided, the echo report is likely showing the status of the heart and blood flow after the stent placement. It helps to assess the heart's pumping function, valve function, and any residual blockages in the coronary arteries. The patient may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots and maintain stent patency. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is important to monitor the heart's condition.
