Question 1

Sure, here's a rephrased version of the user's query:

I've been having chest pains off and on for a couple of days and got an ECG done. Here's what the results say: Vent rate is 73 bpm, PR interval is 114 ms, QRS duration is 94 ms, QTQTc is 388427 ms, and the PRT axes are 64, 52, and 25. I'm really not sure if these numbers are normal. Should I be taking any special precautions, especially since the pain keeps showing up in different parts of my body at different times?

_Blood Vomiting and Blood in Stool: Potential Causes_

Blood vomiting (hematemesis) and blood in stool (hematochezia) can be symptoms of various conditions. Given your friend's experience, possible causes include:

1. *Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)*: Stomach acid can cause bleeding in the esophagus or stomach.
2. *Peptic ulcers*: Open sores in the stomach or duodenum can bleed.
3. *Gastritis*: Inflammation of the stomach lining can lead to bleeding.
4. *Esophageal varices*: Enlarged veins in the esophagus can bleed.
5. *Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)*: Conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis can cause bleeding.
6. *Infections*: Bacterial or viral infections, such as food poisoning, can cause bleeding.

_Urgent Medical Attention Needed_

Encourage your friend to seek immediate medical attention to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment.

Question 2

Hey, a few days back I had a weird situation where I started feeling really anxious, my heart rate shot up to 150, and I had palpitations. I took Ciplar LA 20 and Dolo 650, and luckily my pulse eventually dropped back to 75. I'm trying to figure out if this was Supraventricular Tachycardia or just something normal? This happened to me once about three months ago, and it got better after taking Dolo 650 and some anxiety meds. I even had an ECG done in May, and that came out perfect. Do you think these two episodes could be Supraventricular Tachycardia, or are they just normal?

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, it is possible that you experienced episodes of Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) given the sudden onset of palpitations, anxiety feeling, and rapid rise in pulse rate to 150 beats per minute. The fact that your symptoms improved after taking Ciplar LA 20 (propranolol) which is a beta-blocker commonly used to manage SVT supports this possibility. Additionally, the normal ECG results in May suggest that there may not be any underlying structural heart issues causing the SVT. For the management of SVT episodes, you can continue to use Ciplar LA 20 as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss long-term management options, such as potential medication adjustments or other interventions like ablation therapy. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid triggers that may precipitate SVT episodes, such as caffeine, stress, or certain medications. Keeping a record of your symptoms and discussing them with your healthcare provider can also help in monitoring your condition effectively.

Question 3

I'm a bit confused about the results of my TMT test. I didn't feel any chest pain during the test, and it said negative for inducible Ischaemia. But then my doctor mentioned the test was mildly positive. Does this mean I need to consider getting an angiogram?

Accepted Answer

yes as a prognostic tool you may undergo angiogram as advised.

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
