I've been taking aspirin every day since I had angioplasty, but I'm concerned about the possibility of being allergic to it. How can I tell if I'm having an allergic reaction to aspirin?

View allI'm a bit worried about my recent health report. The doctor said I need an ECG before anesthesia, and the results mention a probable left atrial enlargement with a borderline ECG. I'm wondering what this means for my heart health. Should I see a cardiologist? Lately, I've been experiencing mild chest pains and numbness, and I'm a bit overweight, though my blood pressure is normal. I also have a fatty liver and occasionally notice shortness of breath. Do you think these symptoms are related?
Based on your symptoms and the findings in your ECG report, it is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The probable left atrial enlargement and borderline ECG findings may indicate underlying heart issues that need to be addressed. In the meantime, to help with your symptoms, you can take medications like Aspirin for chest pain (if not contraindicated) and Atorvastatin for high cholesterol. Additionally, to manage your fatty liver, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. For shortness of breath, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol as needed. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet to improve your overall health.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG results. It mentioned something like 800 sinus rhythm, and I'm not really sure what that means. Also, my blood pressure showed up as 13084. Is this considered normal?
800 sinus rhythm means that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm, typically between 60-100 beats per minute. A heart rate of 800 would be abnormally high and would be a cause for concern. As for the ECG being normal, without seeing the actual ECG tracing, I cannot provide a definitive answer. However, sinus rhythm is considered normal on an ECG. Regarding your blood pressure of 13084, this is considered prehypertension. If you have no other medical conditions and are not experiencing any symptoms, it may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have concerns about your ECG or blood pressure, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
