Question 1

Respect sir, Ive been dealing with the effects of the second wave of COVID and was on steroids. Im a bit on the heavier side, weighing 140 kgs, and I have a fear of heart issues. While I dont have any diagnosed heart problems, I get really anxious whenever I see stuff about heart issues on TV or my phone. Sometimes I experience pain in my right hand, and although my ECG results are normal, it worries me. Should I be considering a TMT test, or is there another test I should look into for peace of mind?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and concerns, it would be advisable for you to undergo a TMT (Treadmill Stress Test) to assess your heart's function and detect any potential issues related to your chest pain and fear of heart problems. Additionally, considering your weight and fibromyalgia condition, it would be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Question 2

I'm trying to understand what "mild left axis deviation" means since it's shown up in my ECG results. I'm feeling a bit worried and unsure about what this indicates. Is there a specific medicine or treatment I should consider? Any advice or insights ...

Accepted Answer

Mild left axis deviation on an ECG indicates a slight deviation in the electrical activity of the heart towards the left side. This can be a normal variant for some individuals, but it can also be associated with certain heart conditions. It is important to correlate this finding with your overall health status and any symptoms you may be experiencing. For mild left axis deviation without any underlying heart condition or symptoms, no specific medication may be necessary. However, if there are other heart issues present, your doctor may prescribe medications such as **Metoprolol** at a dosage of 25-100mg per day to help manage the condition and reduce the risk of complications. Always follow your doctor's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your heart health.

Question 3

I've been taking Tazloc CT 40 for the past three weeks, but today when I checked my blood pressure in the evening, it was 150100. I'm really worried because it hasn't gone down. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

Tazloc CT 40 contains Telmisartan 40mg and Chlorthalidone 12.5mg. If your blood pressure is still high despite taking Tazloc CT 40 for 3 weeks, you may need a higher dose or an additional medication. I recommend consulting your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.

Question 4

I'm really worried about some readings I found on my report. It says HR82 BPM, QRS DUR99 ms, QTc interval is 411 ms, and PR interval is 122 ms. My resting heart rate is listed as 724 ms QT, and something called QTc 85 QT RR 48 PQRST at zero degrees. ...

Accepted Answer

The information you provided indicates an ECG report showing a heart rate of 82 beats per minute, QRS duration of 99 milliseconds, QT interval of 350 milliseconds, QTc interval of 411 milliseconds, PR interval of 122 milliseconds, RR interval of 724 milliseconds, QTcQT ratio of 85%, and QTRR ratio of 48%. The P wave, QRS complex, and T wave are all within normal limits at 0 degrees. Based on the ECG findings, there are no specific medications recommended. It would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management if needed.

Accepted Answer

Patients with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) should consult with their healthcare provider before receiving the COVID vaccine. In general, individuals with ITP can receive the COVID vaccine, but it is important to monitor their platelet levels closely before and after vaccination. The vaccine brand and dosage can be determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's individual health status and needs.
