I have orthostatic intolerance, but my tilt-table test is negative for POTS. Kindly help me.
Hi doctor,
I currently take 60 mg Inderal once per day to help manage the following symptoms with prolonged standing. The symptoms faced are hot flash or sweaty, chest and neck tightening, heart palpitations, blurred vision, swelling in my hands and legs, legs get blotchy in color (I will attach a photo for your reference), legs feel very heavy and weak, symptoms always improve with sitting or lying down and symptoms worse in summer months. Symptoms began five years back. Before that, I was experiencing constant abdominal pain under my right ribcage. This pain went away when I started Propranolol. I had a tilt table test done last year, but it was negative for POTS, possibly due to medication still being in my system. I am taking Andrographis paniculata twice a day and Thyroxine. I used to take Propranolol and Florinef. Please help me.

Kindly go through my husband's ECG report and suggest whether anything seems abnormal.
Hi doctor,
My husband is obese with a weight of 279 pounds. His blood pressure was 140/80 mmHg. He sweats a lot and feels hot when I do not feel it. He seems to be extremely nervous. I have some questions regarding my husband's ECG report. It takes time to get an appointment with a cardiologist and so I am using this one. Is there anything dangerous in his report?

Kindly explain the abnormalities in my EKG report.
Hi doctor,
I had an abnormal EKG (my PCP called so), and I would like to understand more what that means. I have a meeting with a cardiologist in a month. I am a pharmacist for twenty-five years, and I can do a little research without freaking out. I want to be an active part of my health. I will attach my EKG.
