I'm really worried about my dad. He had a sudden paralysis attack because his blood pressure shot up unexpectedly. He's getting treatment, but now his right hand and face are affected. The ECO test shows RWMA; should I be concerned about that? Everything else looks okay, but I'm anxious. How serious is RWMA, and what should we be prepared for next?

It sounds like your father experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to high blood pressure. The presence of RWMA+ on an ECG test indicates regional wall motion abnormality, which can be a sign of reduced blood flow to a specific area of the heart. To prevent further episodes, it is important to manage his blood pressure effectively. He can be prescribed medications like Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to control his blood pressure and reduce the risk of future TIAs. Additionally, Aspirin (81mg) can be recommended to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of stroke. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor his condition and adjust treatment as needed.

View allI'm feeling a bit unsure about this medication Prolomet R 25 that my cardiologist prescribed. They said not to worry after some tests, but I found out it's a beta blocker, and I'm concerned because I don't have any blood pressure issues. Could you please guide me on if and how I should stop taking it?
Prolomet R 25, a beta-blocker, is often prescribed for heart-related issues such as palpitations, anxiety, or to improve heart function, even if you do not have high blood pressure. If you have concerns about this medication, do not stop taking it abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or exacerbation of your condition. Instead, consult your cardiologist to discuss your concerns and to determine whether you need to continue the medication or if it can be gradually tapered off under medical supervision. Your doctor can provide a safe plan for discontinuing the medication if it is deemed appropriate.

I've been having some chest issues and I went to the doctor who said it's just my bone and everything's normal, so he prescribed Pan 20 for 10 days before meals once a day, Bandy medicine, and a vitamin D sachet to take once a week. But I'm still a bit worried because I sometimes feel chest pain when I take a deep breath, and in the mornings on my left side. The pain's really sharp, but it only lasts about 45 seconds and happens maybe 6 or 7 times a day. I had anxiety about three years ago, and I also sleep on my stomach. Could that be related or something I should be more concerned about? Any advice would be really helpful.
It is important to follow up with your doctor regarding the chest pain you are experiencing, especially if it is recurring multiple times a day. The sharp pain in the left chest that lasts for a few seconds could be due to various reasons, including musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, or even gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is crucial to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
