I've been taking Ciplar LA 20 for the past 40 days as prescribed by my doctor who recommended continuing it for another 30 days. Today, after washing my car, I felt really tired and had a light headache that went away after resting. Then, when I drove about 15 km to a ceremony, I felt restless and had another light headache. While driving, I experienced a brief moment of dizziness. Could this be due to acidity, or are these side effects of Ciplar? What do you suggest I do?

The symptoms you are experiencing such as tiredness, light headache, restlessness, and dizziness could be potential side effects of Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol). These side effects are commonly reported with this medication. It is important to monitor these symptoms and discuss them with your doctor. If you are experiencing discomfort, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation. They may adjust the dosage or recommend an alternative treatment based on your individual health condition.

View allI experienced some pain in my left chest yesterday and remembered that I had an ECG done on December 8th. The results mentioned something about a "Non-specific T-wave abnormality." Could you help me understand what this means? I'm feeling a bit concerned about it.
Non-specific T-wave abnormalities on an ECG indicate changes in the heart's electrical activity that are not specific to any particular condition. It can be seen in various situations such as electrolyte imbalances, medication side effects, or even normal variation. It is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and medical history. For chest pain, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

What does a borderline ECG with an unconfirmed diagnosis mean on an ECG report? Is it something I should be worried about? My heart rate is 93, PR is 99, QRS duration is 82, QT is 330, and QTC is 411. Could you help me understand what these numbers indicate?
Borderline ECG unconfirmed diagnosis means that there are some findings on the ECG that are not definitive enough to make a clear diagnosis. In your case, with a heart rate of 93, PR interval of 99, QRS duration of 82, QT interval of 330, and QTc interval of 411, these values are within normal limits. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation of the ECG results. No specific medication is needed based on this information.

I've been noticing that my heart rate seems to spike all of a sudden whenever I get out of bed or even if I just switch sides while lying down. Is this something I should be worried about?
heart rate increases suddenly after changing positions may be due to a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow such as leg raises and calf pumps. If symptoms persist, medications such as midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.
