I recently did a master health check-up and found my LDL cholesterol is at 120. The ECG shows "sinus rhythm incomplete right bundle branch block." The doctor prescribed Arvast 10 mg and suggested I start walking. I noticed my MCV is at 54, lymphocytes at 45, ALT in the liver function test is 51, and serum urea is 15. Does everything look normal in the report, especially with the ECG?
may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. As for your medication, ARVAST 10 Mg is a common medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, maintaining a regular walking routine as advised by your doctor can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health. Regarding your other test results, a MCV of 54 is within the normal range. A lymphocyte count of 45 is also within normal limits. An ALT level of 51 is slightly elevated, which may indicate some liver inflammation or damage. For this, you may consider taking medication to improve liver function.

My 72-year-old father is weak and sometimes has high BP. He takes ecospirin AV 75 every night. His ECG report shows sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. The ECG is abnormal. Should he keep taking ecospirin AV 75? Does he need any surgery based on these findings? What should we do next?
East Delhi father’s sinus bradycardia with RBBB and ischemic changes needs cardiology review before stopping aspirin;surgery depends on angiography findings.
