my cardiologist said my ekg showed a borderline ecg when i went for bariatric surgery clearance - what does that actually mean and is it something to worry about
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A "borderline ECG" means that the results are not entirely normal but also not clearly abnormal. It may reflect minor, nonspecific changes that aren’t necessarily serious. In the context of surgery clearance, your cardiologist likely didn’t find anything concerning enough to delay the procedure but may want to monitor your heart health. It’s best to follow up if you develop symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been experiencing this clicking sound in my chest with every heartbeat, especially when lying down. It's actually loud enough that other people can hear it too. Could it be related to the small hole in my heart that's currently closing? I'm really not sure what's going on, and its got me kind of worried. What do you think this might be?

I'm really worried about my dad's blood pressure. It was high at 160110 before, but after he started taking Metocard XL 25 and Triolmesar 20 for about a month, it's dropped to 8772, measured with a digital Omron monitor. Do you think he should keep taking his current medication or adjust the dose? Also, he's diabetic and taking Glyciphage SR 500 and Tenlimac 20. Plus, he's being treated for prostate issues with Maxvoid 8. Could all these medications be affecting his blood pressure too much? What would be the best course of action?
Given the significant drop in blood pressure from 160110 to 8772, it is important to reassess the medication regimen. In this case, it is advisable to consult with your father's healthcare provider to adjust the dosage or possibly consider discontinuing one of the antihypertensive medications. Lowering the dose of Metocard XL 25 or Triolmesar 20 may be necessary to prevent hypotension, especially considering his current blood pressure readings. Regular monitoring and coordination with his healthcare provider are essential to ensure optimal management of his hypertension while taking into account his diabetes and prostate issues.
