How To Treat Elevated BP Level And Weight Gain In A Heart Patient?

Hi, My name is Marty. Last year I had triple bypass with an aortic dissection operation. I also have a-fib. I am on medicines now and they seem to be working. The year before my operation I would be at work and suddenly feeel very very weak in my thighs followed with a feeling of passing out. The feeling would go away after about 30 seconds and I was fine again. It started happening again late last year about 5 months after my operations. I must point out that in 2015 I lost my hearing in my left ear almost completely for a few months. My hearing is mostly restored but still not 100%. Might I have vertigo or something like that ? I am still overweight but my blood pressure is steadily 120/70. I exercise 3 x weekly at a cardiac rehab hospital. I don t sleep well. help

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello There

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that feeling of passing out can be due to heart rhythm disorder which requires proper evaluation to prevent any unpleasant episode.

It’s recommended for you to get an ECG, Echocardiography and A Holter ( ambulatory ecg) monitoring for minimum 48 hours and consult your treating Cardiologist for further treatment.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
