Question 2

My mom's been dealing with hypothyroidism for about 2 years now, and lately, whenever she gets anxious, her blood pressure spikes, although she's not hypertensive. Since last night, her BP's been consistently high, with systolic ranging from 146 to 1...

Accepted Answer

The high blood pressure readings along with anxiety symptoms in your mother could be due to a combination of factors, including her underlying hypothyroidism. In this situation, it would be advisable to add a medication specifically for controlling blood pressure. I recommend starting her on a medication called Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it would be beneficial to address the anxiety symptoms with a medication such as Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety. However, it is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

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'...

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

I'm a bit worried since my recent ECHO showed this mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this actually means and what precautions I should be taking? Ive got the ECHO report and the cardiologist's prescription with me. I'd really appreciate it if...

Accepted Answer

Mild concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) on your ECHO report indicates that the muscle wall of your heart's left ventricle has thickened, which can increase the risk of heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias; to take precautions, focus on lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, stress reduction, and a balanced diet, while also managing underlying conditions like hypertension and diabetes; for a second opinion, consult another cardiologist, and provide them with your ECHO report and prescription to discuss the best course of action and potential further testing, such as a stress test or cardiac MRI.

Question 5

I'm dealing with some light pain in my chest and shoulders, and my 2D echo report showed mild MR and TR with PAH and an RVSP of 40 mmHg. Can you help me figure out what steps I should take or what this might mean for my health?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and 2D echo report showing mild MRTRPah with an Rvsp of 40mmHg, it is important to manage your condition. You can take Tablet Aspirin 75mg once daily to help with any chest pain and to prevent blood clots. Additionally, you can take Tablet Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I've been worried about getting the COVID vaccine because of some heart issues. My father had an angiogram back in 2012, and though he's not on any medication now, I've occasionally felt mild heart pain that seems to go away after a bit. I'm really u...

Accepted Answer

It is important to consult with a cardiologist before taking any decision regarding the Covid vaccination. However, based on the information provided, it is generally safe for individuals with a history of angiogram to receive the Covid vaccine. The benefits of vaccination in preventing severe illness and complications from Covid-19 outweigh the potential risks. It is recommended to take the vaccine to protect yourself from the virus. You can consider taking the vaccine like Covishield or Covaxin with the standard dosage schedule.
