Question 1

my 9 year olds rhythm strip shows t wave that looks like a mcdonalds sign. this was taken by home monitor when dizzy. told sinus arryth?

Accepted Answer

Consult : Need to see the tracing.  Possibilities include u wave,superimposed atrial ectopic beat, and many others including normal variant.  Best to either put a picture in via consult or consult a doctor in person

Question 2

sinus rhythm with rbbb with lafb withbifascicular block,left axis deviation. hr 59 bp normal,little dizzy?

Accepted Answer

Cardiology follow up: If this EKG was done at your PCP office or at the ED, then it is time to see Cardiology. You will most likely need formal cardiac testing to check for cardiac ischemia among other potential cardiac issues. If you have any symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, unexplained sweating,nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, severe dizziness go to the ED immediately.

Question 3

what does this mean? sinus rhythm at rates 78 to 140 bpm with rare vpbs. had a heart holster test done. dizzyness. skipped beat. right side chest pain

Accepted Answer

Need further eval: Mean that during the holter test monitoring of your heart, your heart rate  fluctuated between 78to 140beats per minute. . You were supposed to right down the time you felt any symptoms at all. With that you go and see your doctor for further evaluation. Good luck.

Question 4

echo 2005 normal for structure issues.
2017 ecg normal.
2 weeks dizzy on and off
last week ecg read:
normal sinus rhythm
low voltage qrs
poss left atrial enlargement 
borderline/ normal ecg

hospital never told me. worrisome? need cardio follow up?

Accepted Answer

Borderline EKG: Your findings of low voltage QRS and borderline left atrial enlargement may not be significant, but it is worthwhile to have a cardiologist evaluate you especially since you have experienced dizziness. Low voltage may be caused by underactive thyroid among other conditions.

Question 5

what causes sinus tachycardia, dizziness, and rhythm changes when standing, after eating a meal, and after waking up? ekg and echocardiogram normal

Accepted Answer

Hypovolemia: Most likely relative dehydration to some degree. There is enhanced blood flow to the gut after a meal. This means the same blood volume has to supply more to the gut leaving slightly less elsewhere. This can exacerbate borderline dehydration leading to compensatory higher heart rate and occasional symptoms.   Try drinking more water as an initial step especially in the summer heat.

Question 6

took a b-complex vitamin supplement last week that landed me in er. still having mild vertigo, dizziness and fatigue.

ecg read:

normal sinus rhythm 
poss left atrial enlargement 
low voltage qrs
borderline/ normal ecg

worrisome? need follow up?

Accepted Answer

B complex: You took a b complex viramin then felt ill and went to ED.  You had an ecg.  It was normal or at least not concerning.  Normally taking a b complex vitamin should not cause a ecg problem so they are probably unrelated.  If you have light headed feelings you may need a halter monitor to look at your heart rate.  For vitamin deficiency see your doctor for the best treatments.

Question 7

how can i cure dizziness and recurring sinus problems?

Accepted Answer

Good medical care: Often, sinus infections are not completely treated and therefore seem to constantly return when they have never completely gone. You must see an otolaryngologist or ENT physician to ensure that not only is the sinus infection completely treated, but the fluid in your sinuses or ears is gone as well.

Question 8

can sinus problems be causing my lightheadness/dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Possible: The eustachian tube connects to the nasal passages, and a chronic sinus infection could block this connection to the inner ear eventuating in symptoms.  Have your otolaryngologist evaluate.

Question 9

is it possible that because i feel dizziness either standing or sitting that i can have a serious sinus problem?

Accepted Answer

Sinus issue: It is not likely that the sinuses are causing this dizziness. You are probably dehydrated   drink plenty of water. Are you blowing colored secretions out of your nose?  If so, you may have a sinus infection. It is not likely that you have benign positional vertigo. You can check on previous questions regarding that. Good luck and feel better!

Question 10

took otc decong sinus med helped my dizziness. this am woke up dizzy and unblanced.  should i see a dr.  what could it be. could it be serious?

Accepted Answer

Imbalance: You may have a middle ear infection or just be orthostatic due to the use of the decongestant (alpha agonist) or the "sinus med" may contain anti-histamine which would be sedating and can cause imbalance.. Keep well hydrated and discontinue use of the OTC med. If imbalance persists, will need to see your doctor. Make sure you are not pregnant.
