Question 1

So, my diastolic pressure is usually in the 85 to 95 range, though it mostly stays below 90, and my systolic is around 115 to 130. I've had an ECG done, and my lipid profile and urine checkup came back fine. But I'm still wondering why my diastolic is sometimes high. I've noticed a light burning sensation on the left side of my chest whenever my blood pressure goes up. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do about this?

Accepted Answer

Period started: April 12th
2. Unprotected sex: April 16th (Day 5 of period)
3. Emergency contraceptive pill (ECP): April 18th (within 72 hours)
4. Bleeding: May 3rd (not as heavy as regular period, lasted 4-5 days)
5. Current date: May 20th (no period yet)

Considering your situation:

- The bleeding on May 3rd was likely withdrawal bleeding caused by the ECP.
- Since you haven't gotten your period yet, there is a small chance of pregnancy.

Next steps:

1. Take a pregnancy test: Wait a few more days and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test.
2. Consult a healthcare provider: Discuss your situation with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about my ECG results. It showed a mild left axis deviation and some T wave abnormalities with a kind of flat wave. Could you help me understand what that might mean? Should I be concerned about these findings?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

My dad has artery blockages and we're really confused between angioplasty and bypass surgery - which one would be better for his condition? The doctors gave us both options but we're not sure what to go with

Accepted Answer

Choice depends on blockage location and risk factors; angioplasty is less invasive, but bypass is better for multiple or complex blocks.
