I'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath almost every day for the past year. It's like I can't breathe deeply and feels like there's air trapped in my chest. It's happening even when I'm just resting with no apparent triggers. I also sometimes feel dizzy and have trouble focusing. I've noticed that this used to only happen occasionally, like during exercise or when the weather was bad, but now it's nearly constant. I'm currently taking verapamil three times a day to manage my tachycardia and hypertension. Could any of this be related, or what might be causing these feelings?

View allI'm trying to figure out if it's safe to include curd or milk in the diet for someone with high triglycerides and high LDL cholesterol. Is there any benefit or should they be avoided?
For individuals with high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, low-fat or fat-free milk and curd can be a better option, as they are lower in saturated fats and calories compared to full-fat dairy products; however, it's essential to choose unflavored, unsweetened, and low-lactose options to minimize added sugars and calories.

I'm 32 and recently had a couple of ECG tests that showed an abnormal ECG reading. The first one mentioned sinus bradycardia and a borderline first-degree AV block IV conduction defect. Then, the next day, my ECG showed abnormal results again, this time with right axis deviation. I'm really concerned about whether this is a normal variation or if the machine could have made an error? Is this something dangerous that I should be worried about? What should I do next? Would love your guidance!
Sinus bradycardia with borderline first degree A-V block and right axis deviation on ECG can indicate certain heart conditions. It is unlikely to be a machine error, but it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In this case, you may need to consult a cardiologist for a detailed assessment and appropriate treatment. The doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper management and monitoring of your heart health.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had angioplasty done on March 1st, but he's still gasping and not feeling well. We're consulting with Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, but it doesn't seem like there's any improvement. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice on how to help him feel better?
t's important to address his symptoms of gasping and feeling unwell. In this case, considering his recent angioplasty, it's important to ensure he is not experiencing any complications related to the procedure. One possible cause of his symptoms could be related to heart function or fluid buildup in the lungs. It's important to follow up with his current consultant, Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with fluid retention and shortness of breath. The usual starting dose for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, but the actual dose will depend on his specific condition and should be determined by his healthcare provider. Additionally, medications like Ramipril (Altace) can help improve heart function post-angioplasty. The usual starting dose for Ramipril is 2.5-5 mg once a day, but again, the dose may vary based on his individual needs. It's important for your dad to continue following up with his healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of his symptoms.
