Question 1

I've recently found out that I have a heart blockage issue and I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that could help with clearing the heart blockage? Im looking for a more natural approach if possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm feeling quite anxious about this whole situation.

Accepted Answer

Ayurvedic treatments for heart blockage focus on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and herbal remedies; consider the following: Triphala, Arjuna, and Amalaki to reduce cholesterol and inflammation; Abana, a polyherbal formulation, to improve cardiac function; Panchakarma therapies, such as snehana and swedana, to detoxify and rejuvenate; and Rasayana Chikitsa, a rejuvenation therapy, to improve overall cardiovascular health; however, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or cardiologist before starting any treatment, as Ayurvedic remedies may interact with modern medications or worsen underlying conditions.

Question 2

I recently did a master health check-up and found my LDL cholesterol is at 120. The ECG shows "sinus rhythm incomplete right bundle branch block." The doctor prescribed Arvast 10 mg and suggested I start walking. I noticed my MCV is at 54, lymphocytes at 45, ALT in the liver function test is 51, and serum urea is 15. Does everything look normal in the report, especially with the ECG?

Accepted Answer

may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. As for your medication, ARVAST 10 Mg is a common medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, maintaining a regular walking routine as advised by your doctor can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health. Regarding your other test results, a MCV of 54 is within the normal range. A lymphocyte count of 45 is also within normal limits. An ALT level of 51 is slightly elevated, which may indicate some liver inflammation or damage. For this, you may consider taking medication to improve liver function.

Question 3

I'm having some trouble with breathlessness and occasional chest pain. I got an ECG, and it came back normal, but a 2D echo showed mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance, grade 1. Everything else seemed fine. My hemoglobin is at 6.7, blood pressure at 16090, and pulse at 105. Cholesterol levels are total 149, triglycerides 94, HDL 55, and LDL 100. I also have some gastric issues, and the breathlessness feels better after I burp. Do you think this is something I should be worried about, or is it okay?

Accepted Answer

Given your symptoms of breathlessness and chest pain, the mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance noted in your 2D echo, high blood pressure of 16090, and significantly low hemoglobin level of 6.7, there are multiple areas needing attention. While your ECG and cholesterol levels are normal, the combination of LVH, hypertension, and anemia requires medical management. Addressing your anemia is crucial, as it can contribute to your breathlessness and fatigue. Managing your blood pressure through medication adjustments and lifestyle changes is also important. Since your breathlessness is relieved by burping, addressing any gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux is necessary. Follow up with your cardiologist for ongoing monitoring and management of the LVH and reduced diastolic compliance.
