Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Diltiazem is generally prescribed for controlling heart rate and certain cardiac rhythm abnormalities, along with its effect on blood pressure. If there is no history of rhythm abnormality, medications such as angiotensin receptor blockers like Telmisartan or thiazide diuretics are usually preferred for better blood pressure control. However, there may be a specific reason your cardiologist prescribed Diltiazem based on your clinical condition.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. First, high bilirubin, SGPT (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase), and SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) are the markers of liver injury. This can occur due to the following reasons - 1) Excess alcohol intake. 2) Consumption of toxic liver drugs like ayurvedic drugs with heavy metals and painkillers.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern. After carefully examining your ECG (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity), I noticed deep T-wave inversions in the anterior and lateral parts of the heart, which could indicate heart enlargement or ischemic changes. Given your history of COPD (chronic pulmonary obstructive disease) and higher blood pressure, I recommend that you undergo echocardiography to rule out any structural or new changes in the heart. In COPD, pulmonary vascular pressures can be increased, leading to similar symptoms of palpitations and dizziness.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern regarding palpitations and ECG (electrocardiogram) changes. I have gone through the reports that you have provided. All your reports are alright. Your ECG shows normal rate and rhythm, PR interval seems full but not significantly prolonged, QRS complexes are normal, there are no PVCs (premature ventricular contractions) in this ECG, and there is no intraventricular conduction delay.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The calcification shown in the aorta (a large vessel coming out of your heart) and the echogenic renal pyramids in your kidneys, seem to have a common cause. There is a possibility that calcium is building up in your heart vessels and kidneys. This kidney echogenicity is likely nephrocalcinosis which means stones in your kidneys. I would advise you to get some tests if not done already.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concerns regarding your echocardiography report. Upon reviewing the findings of the echo, I did not identify any abnormalities in your heart. The purpose of an echocardiogram is to assess various aspects of your heart, including the size of the chambers, the presence of any valve defects, the pumping capability, blood flow capacity, pressure in each chamber, and any thickening of the heart walls. Based on the values provided in the report, all measurements fall within the normal range, indicating no abnormalities present.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and understand your concern. You are very young to have chest pain due to cardiac disease.

Since you are overweight, we need to rule out any cardiac issues before looking for other causes of chest pain.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for your query. I understand your concern regarding itching.
