Hi doctor,
The patient is a 70 year old female. She has a severe breathing problem with mild chest pain. Also, there is some gastric problem, vomiting tendency, loss of appetite and weakness. Her current medication includes Dytor 5 mg, Tellzy, Nicorandil 5 mg, Rosave 0.5 mg, Clonotril 5 mg, Ivabrad 5 mg and Sompraz 40 mg. Last week she had an ECG, blood test, urine test and chest x-ray. Please advise.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
We are here to help you. Breathlessness and chest pain in any person with pre-existing heart and blood pressure problems should be evaluated for any cardiac event. In case, her electrocardiogram and chest x-ray are normal; then it is likely to be because of bronchitis or acid reflux. However, a repeat ECG after 24 hours should be performed. The evaluation is a must to rule out a cardiac event. If all normal, then the patient should improve with the medicines advised by your doctor.
