Not a doctor but currently applying to medschool. Worked in an ER. I can watch this stuff for hours.

My 19 year old grandson had debilitating chest pains on and off for 6-12 months. His father is only 44 and has advanced atherosclerosis, so I took him to a cardiologist. My hat is off to that doctor because he took my grandson’s chest pain very seriously. He immediately scheduled a treadmill stress test for my grandson as well as blood work. Fortunately my grandson’s heart is strong and he was diagnosed with severe GERD. The cardiologist prescribed a protein pump inhibitor medication and my grandson’s chest pain went away. He takes the medication every day and if he forgets the pain returns. I was very impressed with the cardiologist’s taking his pain seriously and not discounting it because of his young age.

Doctor said the Herpes virus does not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn't a special virus - your immune system has the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body, But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without damaging any of your cells , natural herbs kills the virus totally not just reducing the out break.

Awesome

[@wendellhoward2362]

Dr. Mattu, I love the inciteful and interesting topics. Very eye opening. I have a question for you or your staff concerning Adenosine. I understand why Adenosine does not work for A-fib, and why it is dangerous for A-fib RVR with WPW. The local EMS medical directors listed in the protocol book that WPW is an absolute contraindication for Adenosine. 1. An Internet search shows conflicting opinions on Adenosine use for excited WPW. 2. When questioning one of the medical directors, he explains that it is his "practice" in the ED not to give it for anyone with WPW, choosing other medications (not carried on local ambulances) to treat the SVT. 3. Yet the drug insert for Adenosine states it is indicated for "Supraventricular tachycardias, including WPW." (Assuming FDA has not withdrawn their approval.) I am trying to find empirical evidence if Adenosine is still indicated and safe for SVT with WPW. Any suggestions?

[@RejathBenny]

I am waiting for a proper reply too. Great question.

[@aizazali6500]

I think it would be very difficult to appreciate WPW in a pt presenting e SVT. And only after adenosine is administered, it will unmask the WPW.

[@sebastianzornosa9953]

Not a ED Dr…. Just a paramedic student. But my understanding is that if they’re symptomatic enough, skip the drugs and go for the synchronized cardioversion. “Unstable gets the cable” I know that doesn’t answer your question exactly, but as far as treatments go, you’re safer going with electricity with this particular patient. I think.

[@zuhairyassin505]

man that maalox situation got me laughing hard although its not funny for both the patient and the physician

[@ianlight9558]

The uncertainty is symptoms before presentation to ED

[@ianlight9558]

The Heart Score is good as a prompt but SCORE is in vogue but is no good re history particular family history

[@beenjammin8581]

Did you seriously just call some of the ambulance chasers fantastic people!?

[@RFN871]

❤

[@beckhamzhang4805]

The signs are not as good as boarder fighting

[@josephkimanthi2273]

At this juncture, I this ECG should be a Vital Sign just like RBS.
