I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49, weighs 78 kg, and is 4.9 ft tall. She recently had this awful left side lower back pain and ended up taking Ultracet on her own. But then she had around 67 vomiting episodes, which freaked us out. We rushed her to the hospital and the ECG showed T wave inversion in the chest leads and left axis deviation. What does all this mean? Should I be really concerned?

It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.

My wife's LVEF was measured at 50 during her pregnancy and it's still at the same level afterward. The cardiologist prescribed Ramister 1.25mg and Carnitor 500. We're a bit concerned since 50 is on the lower end of normal. Could you let us know if these medications will help improve her LVEF, or if there's anything else we should consider?
These medications can help improve cardiac function and potentially increase the LVEF. Additionally, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to further support heart health."

I'm a bit concerned after getting my Holter test results back. It says I had 17 ventricular beats in tachycardia at 100 bpm and no bradycardia, with a sinus tachycardia peaking at 162 bpm just once. The doctors mentioned this might be normal for someone who drinks and smokes, and they advised me to quit both. The test was done because of an irregular pulse. Could you help me understand what all this means and how serious it is?
The holter test report indicates ventricular beats at 17%, beats in tachycardia (>=100 bpm) at 15%, and no bradycardia. Sinus tachycardia was noted at 162 bpm (maximum only once). It is advisable to quit alcohol and smoking, as advised by your doctors. The irregular pulse may be related to these habits. To help with the irregular pulse, you can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the occurrence of irregular beats. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your progress.
