I'm really worried because I've been dealing with anemia for the past five months, and then about a month ago, my heart test showed something called mild tricuspid regurgitation. Could the anemia be the reason for this heart issue? And if it is, what steps should I take to address it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Anemia can sometimes lead to heart problems such as tricuspid regurgitation due to the decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. To help treat your anemia and improve your heart condition, I recommend taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg once or twice daily, as well as Vitamin B12 supplements. Additionally, it is important to consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, spinach, and lentils. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

View allI'm dealing with some pretty bad acid reflux after eating heavy masala foods. I've got this weird dhada sensation in my chest, so I got an ECG done. The results said something about a left axis and poor R progression. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? Would love some advice on what to do next!
It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux symptoms and chest discomfort. The ECG findings of Left axis poor R progression may indicate certain heart conditions, but it is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and overall health status. To address your acid reflux symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, you can take Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for immediate relief. It is also recommended to avoid spicy and heavy meals, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?
Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.

I'm 26 and in my family, we dont usually include garlic or onion in our meals, but I've been reading about the benefits of garlic and I'm intrigued. I heard it can help reduce bad cholesterol, which I know I have. I've come across Himalaya Lasuna Garlic pills and Himalaya Wellness Pure Herbs Lasuna Cardiac Wellness tablets. Are there any side effects or downside to taking these? Is there something else I should consider? Would taking 1 or 2 pills a day be okay, or should I be consulting a physician first?
-You can consider taking Himalaya Lasuna (Garlic pills) for its potential benefits, like reducing bad cholesterol. However, it's important to consult your physician before starting any new supplement, especially if you have any underlying health condition
