Question 1

I'm really worried about my baby boy who has been diagnosed with a PM VSD hole that's 3.5 mm. Is this considered a big issue or not? I'm trying to understand how these measurements are categorizedis 3.5 mm small, moderate, large, or very large? Also, does this mean he'll need open heart surgery for sure, or could it close on its own as he grows? If surgery ends up being necessary, are there options other than open heart surgery that are less invasive? Would love some guidance on this.

Information provided is no adequate to answer,ideally if it is causing any cyanotic spells or pulmonary edema or PAH then Surgical correction is required which is not always open heart syurgery,if there are no such symptoms,repeat 2D echo after 6 months and check the status

Mukesh, given your history of high blood pressure and normal test results including ECG, cholesterol levels, and chest X-ray, it's important to manage your hypertension and associated symptoms effectively. Tenolol (a beta-blocker) and Anxit (an anxiety medication) are useful, but if your symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Breathing problems can be related to anxiety, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other underlying conditions. I recommend following up with your healthcare provider to reassess your treatment plan. They may adjust your medications, explore other causes for your symptoms, and possibly refer you to a specialist if needed.

Question 4

I'm wondering if I should stop taking Concur cor 2.5 that I've been on for a month. I found out last month during a routine check-up that I had a 7.5 load of APCs supraventricular in the holter, which is why it was prescribed. But I didn't really hav...

Accepted Answer

It is important not to stop beta blockers suddenly to avoid any rebound effects. Since you have been taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month and are feeling fine, you can consider tapering off the medication gradually. I recommend reducing the dosage by half for a week, then halving it again for another week before stopping completely. This tapering schedule helps your body adjust gradually and reduces the risk of any withdrawal symptoms. Regarding side effects, taking Concor Cor 2.5 for a month is generally safe, especially if you have not experienced any bothersome symptoms. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, or changes in heart rate, but if you have not noticed any issues, it is unlikely that you will experience them now. Since your echo results were normal last month, there may not be an immediate need for follow-up tests after stopping the medication. However, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs.
