abosedekolawole: pls wat the cause of rapid heart beat witout bin nevours Rapid Heart Beat is technically called tachycardia. It can be due to a variety of causes. To determine the cause and future course of treatment, one has to be investigated for the exact diagnosis. Please get an ECG done and consult a local Cardiologist. Mentaremix: @poster.Thanks in advance for ur free consultation.Pls my fiancee has always been complaining about chest pain for over 2years now.What might be d cause and the probable solution. Please tell me the following things. 1. What is the age of your fiancee? 2. What is the weight and height? 3. Does the patient have any digestive problems like increased/decreased appetite or constipation or hyperacidity or reflux? 4. Is the patient on any medication? After these basic questions, I can guide you further with regards to the same. |

It has to be investigated regarding what the exact problem maybe, but the first step would be getting some investigations done from a cardiologist. In India, I would have ordered an ECG, Echocardiography and some Blood tests. I am not familiar with the system followed in Nigeria, but i am sure they will also get the same tests done and then decide on the future course of action. At our medical center in India, we use the latest non surgical methods for treating heart disease like ECP(External Counter Pulsation), ACT(Artery Clearance Therapy) and other methods. You should contact a cardiologist as early as possible. I hope you get better and join the military! |

Hi Doctor. I am in my mid-twenties, I'm slim and I don't drink or smoke but I've been having palpitation and angina for about 5 years now. I've been to one of the most reliable hospital here in Nigeria and I was asked to run various tests like ECG, ECHO, blood tests and even chest x-ray but all the test shows that there is nothing wrong with my heart according to the doctor but I still feel the symptoms especially when I am resting. Please advice. |

topazjosh: can i visit gani fawehinmi diagnostic hospital in ondo,heard alot of people trooping down there from all paets of nigeria.I am not sure about the clinics in Nigeria. Had you been in India, I would have been most happy to serve you and make your health better. But do consult a cardiologist, wherever nearest available. deywarley: Hi Doctor. I am in my mid-twenties, I'm slim and I don't drink or smoke but I've been having palpitation and angina for about 5 years now. I've been to one of the most reliable hospital here in Nigeria and I was asked to run various tests like ECG, ECHO, blood tests and even chest x-ray but all the test shows that there is nothing wrong with my heart according to the doctor but I still feel the symptoms especially when I am resting. Please advice. Hi deywarley ECG and Echo can only detect an existing anomaly, but not the stress on the cardiovascular system. the symptoms you describe point towards a possible circulatory impairment of the heart. although moderate level of gastritis can also produce these symptome. please take some anti acidity syrup for 5 days. if the symptome persist, you may need to undergo Angiography or a stress test to investigate further. |

You will need the right antibiotics for 2 weeks minimum, alongwith other medicines. |

Hello Doctor, I have been experiencing chest pain for a couple of weeks now and at the advice of my doctor, I went to emergency. There, they ran an ECG and chest x-ray on me and found nothing wrong. I'm still experiencing the pains and wondering what can be wrong. Thanks |
Re: Doctor In The House - Cardiac Problems, High Blood Pressure, Chest Pain(angina) by DrSandhu: 1:02pm On Dec 14, 2012 |
tobsin: Hello Doctor, well tobsin does the pain occur with exertion or at rest as well? is your BP normal? whats your age? this could be Angina. ECG only shows changes which have occurred, not the ones which could happen! |

I'll like to point out that the Doctor is not Nigerian, I'd recommend we write more clearly so that he can interpret the condition properly. Not everybody finds it easy to decipher the text message mode of writing (myself inclusive) Nice work you're doing Dr. Sandhu, we're glad to have you in our forum . |

Take some antacids first! Maggi is good for once in a while...but if you eat it regularly, it can potentially cause acidity and constipation. drink plenty of water and eat some yoghurt/curd everyday for 2 weeks. Get well soon! |

Somex10202: thank you so much doctor,i would do as you have said.By the way, is doing pushup/press up exercise advicable as well? Please avoid all strenous activities till you feel better. Any physical ctivity that strains you can potentially cause hyperacidity, and is best avoided. |
Re: Doctor In The House - Cardiac Problems, High Blood Pressure, Chest Pain(angina) by SincereMind(m): 1:31pm On Dec 19, 2012 |
Doc, Well done. I want to ask, can drinking cause high blood pressure? If not, how do I reduce my BP? I am just 28years and tests that I did in the past three weeks have shown fluctuating BP. The last was 130/100. How do I bring this down? |
Re: Doctor In The House - Cardiac Problems, High Blood Pressure, Chest Pain(angina) by DrSandhu: 1:44pm On Dec 19, 2012 |
SincereMind: Doc, Excessive drinking can cause high BP. Follow some basic steps to reduce your BP 1. Drink 3 liters of water every day 2. Reduce your salt intake 3. Reduce fried stuff in what you eat 4. No Smoking |
