AreaFada2:
You're welcome sir.

For now do not worry about it. Get the echo done first. That will show the full detail. And the possible cause.
Typically it is about preventing it worsening (like treating underlying condition like high BP) & possibly control symptoms as appropriate.

Then lifestyle advice might be added.

But be very frank to your doc about all your medical history, family history of any cardiovascular conditions (ask your parents & siblings about any heart conditions), medications if any and so on. Remember if any close blood relative died of sudden death (God forbid), died young (aside accident) even if long ago.

I hope your doctor is a cardiologist, not just any doctor. A teaching hospital is the best place to find one.

AreaFada2:
Sir I suppose echo is the test you have not done yet. Try and do it soonest.
Echocardiography is a better test not just to confirm it but to search for possible cause or causes of it.

LVH means that the left chamber that does pumping of blood around the body has a thickened wall. Although it naturally has a thicker wall than the right ventricle but it still indicates that it is working too hard over time.
In older people the major cause is high blood pressure. Especially if diagnosed late or is poorly controlled.

It can also be due to congenital abnormality of the heart in younger people mostly.

Echo can detect a cause like aortic valve stenosis. Where the aortic valve if stiff and the heart has to work harder to pump blood through it. Echo can also measure the actual wall thickness.

Papzey:
Cardiac arrest occurs when the effective blood flow suddenly stops due to the inability of the heart to contract efficiently. Usually, some people may suffer from chest pain, nausea, or shortness of breath before it occurs. If it is not taken care of swiftly and immediately, it usually leads to sudden death.

Signs and symptoms of Cardiac Arrest:

Cardiac arrest is sometimes preceded by certain symptoms such as fainting, fatigue, blackouts, dizziness, shortness of breath, weakness, vomiting, and chest pain. The arrest may also occur with no warning. The symptoms also include the absence of breathing or loss of consciousness.

What are the major causes of Cardiac Arrest?

Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of cardiac arrest. Other less common causes are major blood loss, lack of oxygen, very low potassium, heart failure, and intense physical exercise.

A number of inherited disorders may also increase the risk including long QT syndrome. The initial heart rhythm is most often ventricular fibrillation.

The diagnosis is confirmed by finding no pulse. While a cardiac arrest may be caused by heart attack or heart failure, these are not the same.

What are the other causes of Cardiac Arrest?

As mentioned earlier, coronary artery disease is the leading major cause of sudden cardiac arrest. There are hosts of other cardiac and non-cardiac conditions that also increase the risk. Coronary artery disease often results in coronary ischemia and ventricular fibrillation (v-fib). Cases have shown that the most common finding at postmortem examination of SCD is chronic high-grade stenosis of at least one segment of a major coronary artery, the arteries that supply the heart muscle with its blood supply.

Left ventricular hypertrophy is believed to be the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the adult population. This is usually the result of severe high blood pressure which has caused secondary damage to the wall of the main pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle.

How to Prevent Cardiac Arrest?

The best prevention of cardiac arrest is to quit smoking, avoid heavy physical activity, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight. The treatment for cardiac arrest is immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and if a shockable rhythm is present, defibrillation is used. An implantable cardiac defibrillator may be placed to reduce the chance of death from recurrence.

If you observe any of the above-mentioned symptoms in anyone close to you, please rush to the hospital or call emergency services immediately. Sudden cardiac arrest is killing quite a lot of young people these days.

Justice Monisola Abodunde of an Ado-Ekiti High Court has issued a three-year imprisonment verdict on two students of the Ekiti State University (EKSU). The EKSU students: Akintunde Olumide and Oladapo Olaoluwa are to spend the next three years in jail after being found guilty of involvement in cultism.

The Justice held that the prosecution has proved a case of stealing, assault and membership of a secret cult group against the accused beyond every reasonable doubt.

Mr Femi Falade, the police prosecutor revealed to the court that the accused committed the offence on July 13, 2013, at a hotel in Iworoko, Ekiti, adding that they were brought on a three-count charge of stealing, assault and cultism.

Falade added, ‘This offence is punishable under Section 355, 4(1) of Criminal Code Laws of Ekiti State 2012 and Secret Cults (Abolition and Prohibition).’

During interrogation Criminal Investigation Department, the accused made a confessional statement, stating they are members of the Confraternity.

The Police also found in their possession: a small cutlass, a black head warmer, black T-shirts and black trousers.

The judge commented, ‘It is not a tool for education, it is a weapon of danger and indiscriminating, which should not be seen within the school premises.’

The exhibit recovered from the accused gave the judge the needed proof to sentence them to three-year imprisonment without any option of fine.

There have been several attacks on the person of PMB and his Econmic team.

Oil price per barrel between Febuary and April 2015 hoovered between 54 to 57 dollars per barrel.
It is interesting to know that at this price, Jonathan and the mother of our economy (NOI) were already borrowing to pay salaries and meet up obligations to contractors.
What would have been happening when oil went as low as 28 USD per barrel. Would Nigeria have been sold? Naira was devalued to 197naira per dollar then yet it didn't solve any problem as Nigeria still had to keep borrowing. Will devaluing Niara solve anything now?

Fellow Nigerians,
Despite the lowest oil price rate of all times, President Buhari have never borrowed to pay salaries rather they have dished out bail out funds to states to pay salaries.
The present Economic situation have been expected even before this adminstration as evident in the several warnings issued by the past minister of Finance even when oil was 74USD per barrel
In summary;
Buhari inherited a very big problem and have so far so good tried his best to navigate the ship Nigeria safefly. I urge Jonathanians to take a chill pill, and give this adminstration some time as its first ever budget have just been passed.
God bless the Federal Repubic of Nigera
God bless Mr President

A little nostalgia has never killed anyone.

When we were younger, there were some funny things we did and now that I think about it, we had some crazy funny reasons for doing them. We somehow believed that these things helped us one way or the other.

1. Writing your name in your pen so that it doesn’t get stolen

It eventually got stolen most times but well, we kept writing.


2. Throwing your teeth on top of the roof for a lizard to pick

Because if you don’t throw your teeth, no teeth from father Lizard.

3. Waving at doves for white fingers

Leke leke, give me white finger.

4. Removing strands of your eyelashes and putting them at the door for your punishable offense to be forgotten

Until you hear your name and the next thing is a slap in your face


5. Reshape the bottle cap, put it inside the bottle and shake it

Because somehow we were convinced that the drink increased when we did that.
