Hi, In PSVT surgery is recommended only if you are not controlled on drugs,however you told that you have been a little irregular on drugs.I don't find any reason why you should undergo surgery if you are controlled by drugs or if you have not even tested for all the drugs,because there are still options to change the drugs or increase the dose of drugs before you try the surgical option.

Her doctor prescribed Serta 25 one a day in the morning and Sibelium 5 one a day at night for 30 days. I am concerned about the side effects of these medicines. Are they safe to take under the given circumstances.

Last Thursday night, my wife had some breathing problem which is unusual. We went to a specialist hospital the next day and the doctor referred her to a cardio Specialist after the blood test showed that her cardio enzyme level is at 1300 where the maximum should be only 600 as per the doctor. My wife never had a heart complication before. So what does this mean.? Is this a sign of possible heart attack in future.? I'm extremely worried about her.

Elevated cardiac enzymes have several reasons, but first of all ECG and then due to clinical presentation and ecg results coronarography should be done as fast as possible to exclude miocardial infarction (heart attack) and if infarction is prooved she should take some antiishcemic medications all life long. It's very serious, don't loose time and visit cardiologist as soon as possible! ...
