Question 1

My HS CRP level is 7.4, which seems pretty high. Why might it be elevated, and is there anything I can do about it? Im really concerned and would love some guidance.

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management as it says you have recent or active infection

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and I've noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I've been taking Dytor 40mg every day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could this be something serious? What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Question 3

I've been feeling really anxious about my heart lately because I keep having these palpitations and negative thoughts that something might be wrong. I'm 23 and my GP said my echo, ECG, and blood tests came back normal, so they think it's just anxiety and overthinking. But I'm still really worried. Is it possible there could still be an underlying heart issue, or should I trust the tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for a 23-year-old male, a normal echo, ECG, and blood test are usually sufficient to rule out major heart problems. Since your GP has already reassured you that your palpitations are likely due to anxiety and overthinking, you can trust their assessment. To help with your anxiety symptoms, you can take **Xanax (Alprazolam)** 0.25mg as needed. It is important to practice stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, and deep breathing techniques.
