Can someone die due to Myocarditis Despite No Complications During Pregnancy and Normal Development Milestones?

Patient's Query

I am married to my second cousin. During my first pregnancy there were no complications nothing. My daughter was born with normal delivery. She was completely alright and normal baby. Completing her every milestone in time. But at 11 month of the age she got ill and the major symptoms were flu and difficulty in breathing thn she was diagnosed with MYOCARDITIS. And died after 1 week and was under treatment in AFIC (Armed Forces Institute Of Cardiology) Rawalpindi. I was pregnant at that time with my second child. My second daughter was born. She was also completely normal covering every milestone in time. She was treated in al shifa hospital throughout each and every test were clear till the 17 months of age. Thn again once in a while she suffered from same symptoms and diagnosed with MYOCARDITIS. She got treated in Al Shifa hospital Islamabad and expired at the age of 17 months.So now i need some expert advise what to do now. I am not getting any satisfactory answer from any doctor in Pakistan some are claiming it as genetics but some are arguing it can't be this because babies show no defects in any of there milestone throughout their life span. So any thing or any help regarding this is highly appreciated.

Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha

Myocarditis is a condition where the heart muscle is inflamed and can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or other infections. It is possible that there is a genetic component to this condition, and I would recommend consulting with a genetic specialist or a pediatric cardiologist. They may be able to provide more information about potential genetic causes and what steps can be taken to prevent it in future pregnancies. It is important to seek medical attention and advice from a experienced healthcare professional.

What should I do for very high cholesterol

Male | 35

If you have a level of cholesterol that is way higher than normal, a cardiologist consultation is a must sooner rather than later. They will, therefore, be able to prescribe medications as well as recommend lifestyle changes like taking a balanced diet and exercising.

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.

He should immediately consult a cardiologist as he has very high blood pressure which could be a serious health concern. Swelling in the face is a sign of a more severe condition that needs urgent medical attention.

ECG report showed the following, now my gp wishes for me to have an eco ultrasound, can you advise which of the below is a concern. Vent:79bpm Pr interval: 110ms QrS duration: 76ms QT/Qtc baz: 334/382 ms P-R-T: 70 -8 46

Female | 48

A longer than normal QT interval often shows up on an ECG. This could mean heart rhythms aren't normal. You might feel dizzy, pass out, or have pounding heartbeats. Having an echocardiogram helps see how your heart works. It's crucial to see your cardiologist. They'll look deeper into this and treat it properly.

A positive Treadmill Test signifies the necessity to proceed cardiac evaluation. It would be wise to visit a cardiologist who can carry out further tests such as echocardiogram or coronary angiography in order to establish the root cause. The cardiologist will help you understand what happens next, providing customized and effective treatment for your heart health.

Hello, my doctor prescribed me high blood pressure medication for my insomnia and I seen somewhere where it’s dangerous to take high blood pressure medicine without actually having it And I’m wondering if it will effect me

Female | 19

High bp medication is usually not prescribed if your bp is normal. The medication lowers bp and if its already normal, it can cause your bp to drop too low, which can lead to complications such as dizziness or fainting. In some cases medications used to treat high bp may also have sedative or calming effects, which is why your doctor may have prescribed it for your insomnia.

Is 15 grams of propafenone dangerous?

Male | 32

Yes, ingesting 15 grams of propafenone is more than enough to turn into a dangerous medical situation. The dose of propafenone overdose has various effects including dizziness, airway difficulty, cardio palmar discomfort, and arrhythmia. Early recognition and prompt medical attention become crucial for an overdose case. I recommend having a cardiologist on board for more comprehensive evaluation and therapy guidelines.

Male | 18

You seem to have intense chest agony and muscle spasms creating a hole near your chest. These indications could come from angina, where your heart lacks blood. Relax, breathe deeply, remain calm. If pain worsens or continues, immediately visit the closest hospital for urgent care.
