Question 1

I'm dealing with chest pain and heaviness for about 2 years now, and Montair FX helps, but if I stop taking it, the symptoms come right back. Plus, I get side effects like stomach gas from it. What should I do? Is there a way to stop using Montair FX, or maybe there's another option I can consider?

Question 2

I've got a blocked artery and I've just had a stent put in. I know I should avoid oil, butter, ghee, and paneer - so I've cut those out of my diet. But here's the thing, I really love rice. My wife says it's not good for me either. Can you tell me if it's okay to have a bowl of rice now and then?

Accepted Answer

Dear user, regarding your question about including rice in your diet after being diagnosed with a blocked artery and having a stent placed, it is important to focus on a heart-healthy diet. You can still enjoy rice in moderation. Opt for whole grain rice like brown rice or wild rice, and limit the portion size to about 12 to 1 cup per meal. It is also recommended to pair rice with plenty of vegetables and lean protein. Additionally, you can incorporate foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, into your diet to promote heart health. Remember to follow your doctor's advice and medication regimen for optimal recovery and management of your condition

Question 3

I'm feeling pretty worried after getting my recent full body check-up results. The echo report showed something unusual, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Sometimes I get really anxious, and when I was getting the echo done, my heartbeat was racing at about 110 to 120 beats per minute because I was so scared. Could you take a look at my echo report and tell me what steps I should take next or if everything seems okay? The report mentions Mild MR and TR PASP at 32 mm Hg and LVEF at 65, but everything else seems normal. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

In your echo report, it mentions that you have mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with a pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of 32 mmHg. Your left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 65%, which is within the normal range. Based on the information provided, everything seems to be normal except for the mild MR and TR. Given your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing an elevated heart rate during the echo, it is important to address your anxiety. To manage anxiety and potentially reduce the impact on your heart rate, you can consider taking medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg three to four times daily. It is also advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss the findings of your echo report and to determine if any further evaluation or treatment is necessary. Regular follow-ups and monitoring may be recommended to ensure your heart health is maintained.
