I've had this chest pain for about three days now. I did an ECG and the doctor wrote 'TWNL' on it. Does that mean everything's normal? Also, I've attached my troponin T test report and need to know if it looks okay. Should I be worried about a heart problem? Can you take a look at my report, please?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The term "TWNL" in your ECG report stands for "T wave normal limit", indicating that the T wave on your ECG is within normal limits. Elevated levels of troponin T in the blood can indicate damage to the heart muscle, such as in the case of a heart attack. It is important to know the specific value of your troponin T levels to determine if they are within normal range. For chest pain lasting 3 days and concerning ECG findings, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past five months, and it's really starting to worry me. I get dizzy, have blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain too. The weird thing is, sometimes my blood pressure shoots up after I eat. I'm a 26-year-old female, weighing 90 kg with a height of 5'9". My thyroid tests are normal, but I've been on losakindh 25 mg for about three months, and it doesn't seem to be helping anymore. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I could try next?
It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled with Losakind-H 25 mg anymore. I recommend adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5 mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg once daily to further control your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm a bit worried because my PRO BNP test came back abnormal with a value of 800. Can you tell me what steps I should take next? Is there any medication that can help lower it, or are there other treatments I should consider?
A high level of Pro BNP indicates heart failure. To decrease the Pro BNP levels, treatment usually involves medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a starting dose of 2.5-5 mg once daily, Beta blockers like Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25-50 mg once daily, and Diuretics like Furosemide at a starting dose of 20-40 mg once daily. Lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and weight management are also important in managing heart failure and lowering Pro BNP levels.
