I'm really worried because my doctor said I have IRBBB on my ECG and that it's nothing to be concerned about. I'm 40 now and was fit until my early 30s. Will this affect my future life? I'm feeling really tense about it.

Having incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) on your ECG is usually not a cause for concern, especially if your doctor has reassured you about it. It is often considered a benign finding. However, if you are feeling tense and anxious about it, it's important to address your concerns. To help manage your anxiety, you can consider relaxation techniques, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your anxiety persists, you may also speak to your doctor about it. In terms of your future life, IRBBB itself typically does not have a significant impact on your overall health or longevity. As long as you continue to follow a healthy lifestyle and attend regular check-ups with your doctor, you should be able to maintain your well-being. If you have any further concerns or symptoms, it's always best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

View allI've been dealing with chest pain for the past three months that comes and goes, and it often spreads to my left shoulder, arm, and even my jaw. Sometimes I get dizzy too. I had COVID before, and now I'm also experiencing some breathing issues since last week. I saw a cardiologist, and the ECG, trop test, and chest X-ray all showed nothing unusual. I had an echo and a TMT done today. Can you help me understand what's going on? What could be causing my symptoms if all these tests are normal?
Based on your symptoms and the tests you have undergone, it seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina or coronary artery disease. Since your ECG, troponin test, chest X-ray, echo, and TMT are normal, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of heart attack, and medications like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to manage cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be taken as needed for chest pain relief. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking (if applicable), and managing stress to improve your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've recently had my cholesterol tested, and it turns out my HDL cholesterol level is 32. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should go for any additional tests? Does this low HDL indicate any risk of heart disease?
A low HDL cholesterol level of 32 may increase your risk for heart disease. To further evaluate your heart health, you may consider getting a lipid profile test done. This test will provide more detailed information about your cholesterol levels, including LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Based on the results of the lipid profile, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and medication if necessary.

I'm feeling like my head's really heavy almost all the time, and it just gets worse after I eat. My blood pressure's at 150 over 90. Could you suggest any medication for this?
Delayed periods after chickenpox can be concerning. Given your regular diet and no other apparent issues, let's explore possible reasons: *Possible Causes* 1. *Hormonal imbalance*: Chickenpox can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods. 2. *Stress and infection*: The physical stress of fighting off the chickenpox virus can affect your menstrual cycle. 3. *Temporary amenorrhea*: Some women experience temporary amenorrhea (absence of periods) after a viral infection like chickenpox. *What to Expect* 1. *Wait for another week*: If you've already missed your period by a week, wait for another week to see if your period starts naturally. 2. *Take a pregnancy test*: If you've had unprotected sex, take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause for the delayed period. 3. *Consult a gynecologist*: If your period doesn't start after another week or if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or other concerning symptoms, consult a gynecologist for guidance. *Self-Care* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from the infection. 2. *Maintain a balanced diet*: Continue eating a nutritious diet to support your overall health. 3. *Manage stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises
