I'm really worried about my mother-in-law's ECho report because it mentions Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. Is this something we should be concerned about? The ECG looks normal, thankfully. Could you help me understand if everything's alright?

I'm getting palpitations after just one drink of alcohol and my ECG results show something about a QRST contour abnormality and possible inferior myocardial damage. What should I do about this?

Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to avoid alcohol consumption. You should also consider taking medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and protect your heart. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Aspirin (75-150mg) to reduce the risk of further myocardial damage. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having headaches and palpitations at the same time for years, but my ECG always comes back normal, so I didn't see any point in getting more tests like a 2D echo. Lately, these issues have gotten worse, and it sometimes feels like my heart's being crushed. The only thing that helps is coughing. I've also noticed my feet are swelling. My blood work shows high cholesterol and SGPT levelswhat does that mean?

These symptoms could be indicative of underlying heart and liver issues. The high total cholesterol levels suggest a risk of cardiovascular disease, which may be contributing to your palpitations and chest discomfort. The elevated SGPT levels indicate potential liver damage or inflammation. For your condition, you can start taking medications like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) for high cholesterol, and Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) for palpitations. Additionally, you may benefit from a diuretic like Furosemide (brand name Lasix) to help with the swelling in your feet. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused and worried because even though my TMT and ECG tests from 4 months ago were normal, I still feel a slight pain in my left arm and chest. I rarely drink, maybe just some wine occasionally, and I don't smoke. My blood test and chest X-ray came back normal, and I don't have any blood pressure or other health issues. What could be going on?

Considering your symptoms and ineffective response to Novamox 500, you may want to consider alternative antibiotics. However, *always consult your doctor before switching medications*. _Augmentin 625 Duo vs. Azithral 500_ Both are effective antibiotics, but: 1. *Augmentin 625 Duo*: A broad-spectrum antibiotic, often prescribed for tonsillitis. It's a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. 2. *Azithral 500*: A macrolide antibiotic, also effective against tonsillitis. Azithromycin is often prescribed for 3-5 days. Azithral 500 might be a better option if: - You're allergic to penicillin (Augmentin contains amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic) - Your tonsillitis is caused by a macrolide-sensitive bacterium However, *your doctor should determine the best course of treatment* based on your medical history, allergy status, and the severity of your symptoms.
