Health Q&A
Sudden heart failure
My father aged around 68 suddenly got heart failure with pulmonary flash edema 2 months back doctors telling it can be due to long term diabetes ,yesterday we took his CT calcium so it shows as 2400 .now what should be don't next .he is into blood thinners and diabetic medicines ..
Increased heart palpitations
Since more than a week I was having this weird feeling in my chest or a small dull pain in between. Friday when I was coming back home I went to the ER because my heart rate increased, I was scared and my chest pain increased (left side of the chest). The doctors said the ecg does have a few changes but could be old or psychological too. Trop I test was 0.90 so they mentioned this could most probably be an anxiety attack so I was suggested to visit a cardio to get a review. I was suggested Pan 40 twice a day before food and Concor 2.5 after food twice a day. I stopped as per the 3 day course however I couldn't get the appointment for my cardiologist so I haven't been to the cardiologist yet. Today i smoked but when I was smoking while leaving I was told that smoking leads to increased palpitations and I guess my body panicked but my palpitations increased. I came home and had concor 2.5, my bp was 143/93 with heart rate of 102. Now my bp is 117/84 with 82 heart rate. Possible reason?
High HSCRP & GGT
My father had angioplasty on 7th Jan 2026. He is under below medication. Also I have attached the blood report. I wanted to know- 1- Is GGT elevated level is because of Atorva or daily consumption of home made Paneer or the Tab Uprise 60k which he took for 12 weeks as his Vit D was 18 few months back? And how to overcome this? 2- His HSCRP is 2.88 now.. is this concerning ? How to lower it down? He eat healthy diet. Daily 40 grams of Paneer as protien and good amount Of fruits ( apple,Avacardo, Papaya, Dragonfruit). Also he walks 5 KMs daily on an average. He is under below medication:- Ecosprin 75 mg - 1-0-0 Prasudoc 10 mg- 1-0-0 Atorva 20mg- 0-0-1 Nikoran 5mg - 1-0-1 Concor 2.5mg - 0-0-1 Tazloc 20mg- 1-0-0 Orofer XT - 1-0-0 Montek lc & Venusia Sera Plus cream- because of itching due to Psoriasis Duphalc - SOS
High triglycerides
Thank you, Doctor, for your guidance. Regarding my diagnosis of CIHD, it was mentioned in my medical claim form, but I have not yet undergone an ECHO or a Treadmill test. I will proceed with arranging these tests immediately as you have advised, despite some challenges with insurance coverage. I appreciate your expert recommendation.
