Question 1

I've been getting these sudden chest pains, and they sorta feel like they're in my heart. It happens randomly, not every day, and only lasts a few minutes before it goes away. It's been going on for a couple of years now, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Could this be something serious?

Accepted Answer

This type of chest pain could be related to a condition called angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg during the chest pain episode. Also, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been dealing with heart anxiety since 2011 and had a bunch of tests done back in 2015. Everything seemed normal then but recently, I got an echo done in August that showed mild MRTR grade 1 DD. I also did some ECGs and they showed issues likely ...

Accepted Answer

You have a history of heart anxiety since 2011 and have undergone multiple tests, including an echo in August which showed mild mitral regurgitationtricuspid regurgitation grade 1 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. After experiencing issues with fast heart rate tachycardia on recent ECGs, your doctor suggested a stress echo which you have completed. It would be helpful to review the report to provide a more accurate recommendation. Please provide the details of the stress echo report for further evaluation.

Question 3

My mother-in-law is 65 and she's really struggling with high blood pressure that just won't seem to get under control, even though she's on a high dose of BP meds. Her echo and ECG came back normal, and all her blood tests look good except for high c...

Accepted Answer

Given that your mother-in-law's high blood pressure is not well controlled despite high doses of medication, it is essential to re-evaluate her treatment plan with her healthcare provider. Sometimes, resistant hypertension requires a combination of medications from different classes. These may include ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs, like losartan), calcium channel blockers (like amlodipine), diuretics (like hydrochlorothiazide), and beta-blockers (like metoprolol). Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a low-sodium diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake are important. Please consult her healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan that may include adjusting her current medications or adding new ones.

Question 5

I'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?

Accepted Answer

For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

Question 6

I'm experiencing breathlessness when I exert myself and my heart rate seems really high. The recent echo shows mild TR, mild PAHRVSP at 45 mmHg, and a mild MR jet area of 2.5 sqcm, with tachycardia at 121 bpm. My hemoglobin and thyroid levels are nor...

Accepted Answer

Yes, mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) should be followed up by a doctor, especially since you are experiencing breathlessness on exertion and have a high heart rate. Treatment for PAH may include medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help lower the blood pressure in the lungs. It is important to monitor and manage PAH to prevent further complications.
