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.

View allI've noticed that almost every time I shout or scream while at church, I start feeling really lightheaded and dizzy, almost like I might pass out. It's like I have to close my eyes and hold onto something just to stay steady. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of something more? What's going on with my body when this happens?
The symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness, and feeling like passing out after shouting or screaming at church may be related to a vasovagal response, a common condition where the nervous system overreacts to stress or excitement, causing a temporary drop in blood pressure and heart rate, and it's recommended to consult a md medicine to rule out other potential causes, such as dehydration, anxiety, or underlying heart conditions.

I'm taking Navicard 5 mg regularly, as prescribed by my doctor. But recently, I've been having some mild chest pain, so I saw a cardiologist who prescribed Angizem CD 90 for my morning dose. He didnt mention anything about the Navicard though. Now I'm wondering, should I be taking both medications, or just one of them?
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I know someone who's a 20-year-old female, not married, and she has 50 percent artery blockage. She's also experiencing breathlessness and chest pain when she's physically active. She doesn't have diabetes or hypertension, so we're confused about whether she needs stenting or not. What would you suggest?
A person with 50 percent artery blockage who is experiencing breathlessness and chest pain during physical activity may benefit from stenting. For this individual, I recommend considering the use of aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, the final decision on stenting should be made after consulting with a cardiologist. It's important to also make lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking to improve heart health."
