View allI'm a bit worried after being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and an incomplete right bundle branch block. The doctor mentioned I should start taking trimetazidine. I'm not sure if it's really necessary or if there might be other options. Could you help me understand if I should go ahead with it?
Sinus tachycardia and Incomplete right bundle branch block are both cardiac conditions that may require treatment to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Trimetazidine is not typically used to treat these conditions. For sinus tachycardia, beta-blockers like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate. For Incomplete right bundle branch block, treatment may not be necessary unless there are symptoms or other heart conditions present. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns or questions you have about your treatment plan.

I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

I'm feeling a strong pulse in my chest and throat when I'm sleeping. If I stay in the same position for about half an hour, I really start to notice it, but it seems to stop when I change positions. During the day, I'm super energetic and don't have any issues, but this pulse thing keeps happening at night when I'm trying to sleep. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?
This sensation of feeling your pulse in your chest and throat while sleeping is known as pulsatile tinnitus. It can be caused by various factors such as high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid disorders, or even stress and anxiety. To address this issue, you can try managing stress levels, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and ensuring proper sleep hygiene. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of propranolol (Inderal) under the guidance of a doctor to help alleviate the sensation of pulsatile tinnitus while sleeping.
