Q&A

Answered by Dr. Isaac Gana

I have BP. How do I overcome my anxiety about heart disease?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have reviewed your ECG report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and understand what you are going through. Your ECG (electrocardiogram) is normal, but it does show tachycardia (an elevated heart rate). I understand your concerns about having high blood pressure for the past four years, but please rest assured, there is no need to worry. If you are willing to adjust your lifestyle and take your medications as prescribed by your physician, you can lead a very healthy and long life.

How can an ECG report indicate POTS?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concerns. Baseline ST-segment abnormalities with an inverted T wave could mean a narrowing in your heart vessel, reducing oxygen flow to some parts of the heart. It can occur due to atherosclerosis or fat buildup in the heart. The stress test has ruled out the chance of narrowing to a great extent.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have reviewed your grandmother's test results (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The changes I see confirm that she did suffer a heart attack.
