Accepted Answer

Since your heart rate has been well controlled with Nebicard 2.5 and your ECG and echo results are normal, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if you are looking to reduce the dosage, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to Nebicard 2.5 every other day or reducing the dosage to Nebicard 1.25 under their guidance. It is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly while adjusting the dosage.

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and tremors due to anxiety and gas problems. To help with your symptoms, I recommend the following: - For palpitations and fast heart rate, you can take Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. - For anxiety, you can try taking Alprazolam 0.25mg as needed to help manage your anxiety symptoms. - For gas problems, you can take Simethicone 125mg after meals to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. It's also important to practice stress-reducing techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms.

Question 6

I'm a bit worried because I did a routine ECG and it mentioned Normal Sinus Rhythm with a Right Bundle Branch Block and labeled it as an abnormal ECG. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about the Right Bundle Branch Block? Is it something serious?

Accepted Answer

I can explain what these findings mean. A Normal Sinus Rhythm means your heart's basic electrical pattern is normal, with impulses starting in the right place (the sinus node). Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) is a fairly common condition where there's a delay in the electrical signal as it travels to the right side of your heart. While the ECG is marked as "abnormal" due to the RBBB, this finding can be completely benign in many people, especially if you have no symptoms. However, since I can't see your actual ECG and don't know your medical history, it would be best to discuss these results with your healthcare provider. They can properly interpret the findings in the context of your overall health.
