Question 1

I've been dealing with high bp since 2017 and have been taking medscinod and nebicard. Everything was stable until I gained around 10kgs after getting married, and now my bp is often spiking to 140150 and 9095. I've started incorporating some physical activity and diet control into my routine. Do you think I should consider changing my medications along with these lifestyle changes?

Accepted Answer

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm a bit confused about my recent heart tests and need some advice. I had a TMT test that was positive a few months ago, and even after showing it to a cardiologist and doing an echo test, which was normal, they still suggested an angiogram because the TMT stayed positive. When comparing the latest TMT results to the previous one, it seemed slightly better but still came back positive. So, I went for a coronary angiogram and found out I have double vessel disease. The plan mentioned possibly needing a PTCA with a stent in the mid LCX RCA. I'm wondering if managing it with medication, diet, meditation, and exercise might be an option, or if the stent is really necessary. I don't have any symptoms like chest pain, hand pain, or dizziness, and my blood pressure and sugar levels have been under control for years. What do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Based on your medical history and the findings from your tests, it is important to follow the treatment plan given by your healthcare provider. In addition to the PTCA with stent procedure, it is crucial to adhere to a healthy lifestyle which includes medication, diet, meditation, and exercise to help control your condition. The prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, and Metoprolol will help in managing your condition. It is also essential to follow a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider, practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, and maintain a healthy weight. Regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist are necessary to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Question 3

I'm feeling really uneasy because for the past 4 months I've been having these weird jerks and palpitations in my chest that last just a couple of seconds. They come and go without any warning. It's like my heart just stops for a moment, and it's really awkward when it happens, although there's no chest pain. I exercise regularly and all my tests like ECG, 2D ECHO, HOLTER ECG, BP, FBS, and Thyroid profile came back normal. But these feelings haven't stopped and I'm scared. Could these jerks be signs of something serious like a cardiac arrest or any other heart issues? What's causing them and the palpitations? I've even felt some pain around the right side of my chest and I'm worried  does this relate to cardiac problems, or is it only the left side that's dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..
