What is the treatment for low heart pumping after knee replacement surgery?

Patient's Query

My father is 75 years old, 15 days before he has gone through Knee Replacement Surgery and after this surgery his heart pumping became low. Now he can't breath properly while walking. He is also a BP patient. Please suggest me advice it's urgent?

Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello, Since you have mentioned that your father's heart pumping is low which means you must have done ECHO which might be showing low ejection fraction. Considering your father's age, low cardiac output, dyspnea (breathlessness) and history of blood pressure, kindly consult an experienced cardiologist who can guide you through the root cause of this problem, our page will make your search easier - Best Cardiologist in India. Hope your father recovers soon.

Good morning doctor Garu నాకు కడుపులో మంట వస్తుంది. నొప్పి కూడా వస్తుంది. పొత్తికడుపు పైన పట్టేసినట్టు ఉంది. కానీ నిన్నటి నుంచి ఎడమవైపు చాతి కింద ఉబ్బినట్టు అనిపిస్తుంది. సూది గుచ్చినట్టు అనిపిస్తుంది డాక్టర్ గారు కారణాలేంటి.

If you’re experiencing frequent headaches, weakness, dizziness, and cravings for ice, possible causes could include dehydration from not drinking enough water or anemia from iron deficiency. To improve your symptoms, try drinking more water and eating iron-rich foods like spinach and red meat. If symptoms persist, consider seeking medical attention from a cardiologist.

My open heart surgery done in 1st Jan.2018.in left arm always pain persist. whole body became hard. what is matter.

As per my understanding you are having left arm pain post CABG, also your body becomes stiff. Whenever a patient is having Left arm pain espically with history of CAD, the first thing is to rule out cardiac pathology. Immediately visit a cardiologist. He will carefully evaluate the current condition of the patient. Differentiate between cardiac causes and non cardiac cause of left arm pain. Non cardiac causes can be treated medically; in case of cardiac causes a detailed evaluation is needed. Some diagnostic test may also be done to know the exact cause and decide on the treatment. Consult a cardiologist. Hope our answer helps you. For cardiologists, visit this page, it may help - 10 Best Cardiologist in India.

I was diagnosed with hypertension at age 13. I started taking Lisinopril 5mg daily with great results. Two weeks ago i noticed my resting bloodpressure is perfect (104/67-120/80) but as soon as i stand it rises to 121/80s-139/90s and distolic goes even higher the longer i stand and increased palpatations sometimes with discomfort. I do not work. Im 29 year old male. Ive avoided standing and exercise sence i noticed changes. What could this be. Thyroid bloodwork is normal.

Male | 29

You are possibly having orthostatic hypertension, which is a sharp rise in blood pressure when getting up from a sitting position. I would suggest that you see a cardiologist who can do the necessary tests to identify the underlying cause and after that offer the right treatment.

The symptoms you described seem arduous. Shortness of breath, dizziness, discomfort in the chest region, and pain on the left side often indicate cardiac complications. In certain instances, despite normal test results, cardiovascular issues persist. The medications prescribed aim to regulate elevated blood pressure levels. However, consulting a cardiologist once more might provide valuable insights.

Perhaps your muscle strain caused the soreness, or maybe acid reflux triggered heartburn. However, chest pain could signify heart troubles too. When you experience tightness, pressure, or pain there, relax undisturbed. Yet if symptoms worsen rapidly, see a cardiologist right away.

Low blood pressure could cause blurry vision, headache, neck pain, and slow heartbeat. Not enough blood flow to your body might be the reason. Dehydration, medicine side effects, and medical conditions may lead to this. Drink lots of water. Eat meals regularly. Don't get up too fast from sitting or lying down.

Male | 62

Your heart's pumping power is low, about 30%. It makes you easily tired, short of breath, and dizzy. Eating vitamin-rich foods helps, like fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Omega-3 fish oil supplements can also boost heart health. Exercise regularly and reduce stress levels. These lifestyle changes may strengthen your heart. You can consult a cardiologist.
