I'm a bit worried after my recent ECG showed a sinus rhythm with an inverted T wave. What could that mean, and how might it affect my heart health?
The presence of an inverted T wave on an ECG showing sinus rhythm can indicate various underlying issues. In some cases, it may be a normal variant, but it can also be a sign of cardiac ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other cardiac conditions. To address this issue, it is important to determine the underlying cause. Treatment may involve managing any underlying conditions, such as correcting electrolyte imbalances or addressing coronary artery disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really confused and a bit worried. I never had any blood pressure issues before, but two days ago, out of nowhere, my nose started bleeding at night. When I got my blood pressure checked at the hospital, it was 19080, which seems pretty high. The doctor prescribed me Amlodipine and Losartan, and now it's down to 12783. Just wondering, could these meds have any side effects? Any idea why my blood pressure suddenly spiked like that?
Amlodipine and losartan are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels to improve blood flow, while losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels. The common side effects of amlodipine include swelling in the ankles or feet, dizziness, and flushing. Losartan may cause dizziness, tiredness, or low blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to suddenly spike, and there can be various reasons for it. It's good that you sought medical attention promptly. If you have any concerns about the medications or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
