Question 1

I've been experiencing this strange body shake with every heartbeat, and its been going on for about four months now. I've had an echo and an ECG, both of which came back normal. But I can still see my fingers, hand, stomach, and even my head shake with each heartbeat. It's really puzzling me. What could be causing this?

Question 2

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.

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

I'm dealing with shortness of breath whenever I lift something heavy or climb stairs. A doctor mentioned heart valve replacement before. I'm curious about how serious this could be and what steps I might need to take. Could this really be related to the heart valve issue, or might there be something else going on? Would replacement be the only option?

Accepted Answer

Shortness of breath during physical activity can be a sign of heart valve problems. In your case, it may be necessary to consider a heart valve replacement surgery. One common medication prescribed for such conditions is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg per day. However, the specific treatment plan should be discussed with your healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation of your condition.

I'm really worried about my wife's ECG results. It showed a Poor R Wave from V1 to V3. Could this mean a serious heart problem? What should we do next?
