Why is my right hand and leg numb?
Blood pressure 220/100 Right hand and leg numb feeling like light weight

Answered on 1st Nov '24
A blood pressure of 220/100 is very high and needs immediate attention. The numbness in your right hand and leg may indicate reduced blood flow or nerve issues. Please consult a cardiologist as soon as possible to evaluate your blood pressure and any potential complications.

Left side chest pain under break
Female | 36
Chest pain beneath your left breast can have many causes. Maybe it's muscle strain or heartburn. Maybe even anxiety. But sometimes the heart triggers the pain. If you also have shortness of breath, arm pain, or jaw pain, seek emergency medical care. This could signal a serious heart condition. Until seeing a cardiologist, stay calm and avoid strenuous activity. Resting can stop the pain from worsening.

A positive Treadmill Test signifies the necessity to proceed cardiac evaluation. It would be wise to visit a cardiologist who can carry out further tests such as echocardiogram or coronary angiography in order to establish the root cause. The cardiologist will help you understand what happens next, providing customized and effective treatment for your heart health.

I am HCM patient.i am 38 years old.what is best treatment and medicine for me
Managing HCM at 38 isn’t easy, but it can be done. HCM thickens the muscles of the heart, which may affect the flow of blood. You might start experiencing chest pains, shortness of breath or even fainting spells. Taking drugs like beta blockers helps to calm down your heart as well as control these signs from occurring again. In addition, staying within certain limits when being active and not engaging in strenuous activities could work in your favor too. Always keep in mind that following what the doctor says is important!

I went to urgent care yesterday for chest pain. They told me that my EKG said that my heart might not be getting enough blood/oxygen flow on the right side, and could have been from a mini heat attack from smoking even though I’m only 17. Should I go to the hospital since I’ve had this pain now for about 3 days?..
Female | 17
I'd advise that you go to see a cardiologist very soon. Chest pain may present very serious issues with the heart, especially at your age. A cardiologist would further investigate the etiology by doing an echocardiogram or a stress test and then give appropriate management.

I have been experiencing indigestion and gas formation for the last 4-5 days Through this period, along with uneasiness of the stomach area, I also have uneasiness towards the left chest/heart area Just wanted to mention I've totally stopped smoking like a week ago, maybe this is the withdrawal symptom of tightness in chest and gas formation - but wanted to be sure it is no cardiac concern Thanks
Male | 26
It is possible that your symptoms are due to indigestion and gas; however, given the discomfort you feel directed left chest/heart side of cardiac concerns should be ruled out. It is advisable that you go to a cardiologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, stick to foods that reduce indigestion and gas production.

My mother has recently been diagnosed with a heart tumor. She was told that it was not causing problems with blood flow. Surgery was not advised. She has had three bouts with edema, one was serious. She had type 2 diabetes which is well controlled. She has high blood pressure. She is the most active woman her age that I have ever known. Why shouldn’t she have surgery? It doesn’t seem like the tumor is asymptomatic at all.
Female | 83
Sometimes, doctors may decide against surgery for heart tumors if they believe the risks outweigh the benefits, especially in older patients or those with other health conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Her edema could be due to other factors. It is best to consult with a cardiologist who can give a detailed explanation and guide you on the best course of action.

I recently switched medications from hctz to chlorthalidone. Should there be a difference typically?
Male | 40
Both HCTZ and chlorthalidone are used to treat high blood pressure and water retention. But chlorthalidone is known to have a longer duration of action and a higher potency compared to HCTZ. It is recommended to consult your cardiologist if you are experiencing any changes in your blood pressure or other symptoms after switching medications.

I am not getting any satisfactory answer from any doctor in Pakistan some are claiming it as genetics but some are arguing it can't be this because babies show no defects in any of there milestone throughout their life span. So any thing or any help regarding this is highly appreciated.

Myocarditis is a condition where the heart muscle is inflamed and can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or other infections. It is possible that there is a genetic component to this condition, and I would recommend consulting with a genetic specialist or a pediatric cardiologist. They may be able to provide more information about potential genetic causes and what steps can be taken to prevent it in future pregnancies. It is important to seek medical attention and advice from a experienced healthcare professional.
