Is 15 grams of propafenone dangerous?
Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
Yes, ingesting 15 grams of propafenone is more than enough to turn into a dangerous medical situation. The dose of propafenone overdose has various effects including dizziness, airway difficulty, cardio palmar discomfort, and arrhythmia. Early recognition and prompt medical attention become crucial for an overdose case. I recommend having a cardiologist on board for more comprehensive evaluation and therapy guidelines.

A longer than normal QT interval often shows up on an ECG. This could mean heart rhythms aren't normal. You might feel dizzy, pass out, or have pounding heartbeats. Having an echocardiogram helps see how your heart works. It's crucial to see your cardiologist. They'll look deeper into this and treat it properly.

What to Do if Mom's BP Stays high?
Hello, Can I ask if what should I do if my mom's blood pressure didn't go lower than 170/70. She's a dialysis patient. But since last night, her bp is 180/60 or 190/70.
Dr. Bhaskar Semitha

Answered on 23rd May '24
It occurs when pressure builds inside blood vessels. There could be several causes – stress, kidney disease, or not adhering to the dialysis routine. Unchecked, it can lead to heart strain, even damage arteries. You should promptly alert your mom's doctors. They might alter medications or propose lifestyle changes.

Are tablets sufficient to speed up the functioning of the heart or I should opt for some kind of treatment?
My wife aged 60 is having slow pumping of blood in the left ventricle after taking ecg, echo and angiogram etc. The functioning of the heart is 65%. As per the cardiologist advice she is taking tablets. It may kindly be advised whether the tablets will speed up the functioning of the heart of otherwise any other treatment I have to undergo. Your advice is earnestly solicited. Suggest the treatment and hospitals.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Hello, With the lack of information regarding your wife's condition, prescribed treatment and diagnosis I can only assume what her condition is and what medications has been given to her. Assuming she has low ejection fraction number and the tablets she's been provided are beta-blockers, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), or Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Low EF number is an early sign of heart failure because of reduced pumping of blood to the rest of the body; these tablets are basic treatment options to prevent it. If you want to consult a different cardiologist I will list a few of the best heart hospitals all over India - Cardiologist in India.

Why do I have chest and shoulder pain?
Hello, I have been having pain in my right shoulder and in my chest around my heart area, but when I take my prescribed medication for my heart. It doesn't alleviate the pain. I had a massive heart attack back in 2011 and I currently have a defibrillator, so now I take Aspirin, Lisenapril and a couple of other meds, but I notice that I still have pain on my left side which makes it kinda hard to breathe. I work as a dishwasher and I don't do a lot of heavy lifting, so I don't know what it could be. I can barely lift my arm because of it. Please help!
Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
With your past heart attack and defibrillator, it's crucial to inform your cardiolgist promptly about these new symptoms. They'll help identify the cause and suggest suitable treatment.
