Patient Testimonial
"I used to climb stairs many times a day, but suddenly I became easily exhausted and couldn't do it as often. I also had persistent neck and jaw pain, and a heavy head. This went on for 2-3 days. One day, while talking to a neighbor, I felt extremely tired and my face turned pale, so my grandchild rushed me to Ramkhamhaeng Hospital."
These were the initial symptoms of Noppamas Nitiprasong, who never expected low blood pressure to impact her life so severely.
Diagnosis and Urgent Treatment
After taking her medical history and checking her blood pressure, doctors found Ms. Noppamas had critically low blood pressure, putting her at risk of hypovolemic shock due to insufficient blood circulation. Further investigation revealed acute coronary artery stenosis, which severely affected her heart rhythm, causing a "severe abnormal slow heartbeat." Urgent treatment was required.
Once her dangerously low blood pressure was stabilized, doctors performed a coronary angioplasty and stent placement to restore blood flow to her heart.
Swift Recovery and Important Warning
Thanks to timely treatment, expert medical care, and well-equipped facilities, Ms. Noppamas recovered in just three days at the hospital. She then had regular follow-up appointments and has now returned to her normal daily life. Such severe symptoms, if mismanaged, could lead to serious health consequences or even loss of life. Therefore, whether you experience high or low blood pressure, it should never be ignored.
With best wishes from the Ram Doctors.
Former Arrhythmia Patient: Srisawat Kalaya's Story
Srisawat Kalaya visited the doctor experiencing "cardiac arrhythmia," or an abnormally fast heartbeat. He described the initial phase of his condition, which involved chest pain and easy fatigue. He sought medical attention, received medication, and felt better for a while. However, his symptoms would return intermittently, eventually becoming more frequent and prolonged, significantly impacting his daily life. There were times his heart would pound continuously from 8 AM to 2 PM. This led him to revisit his previous hospital, where doctors recommended radiofrequency ablation to treat the heart muscle.
When serious treatment became necessary, Srisawat and his family decided to transfer to Ramkhamhaeng Hospital. They were confident in the medical team's expertise and the hospital's advanced equipment. After a thorough re-diagnosis, the doctor recommended a treatment plan, and Srisawat chose to undergo catheter ablation to target the abnormal electrical impulses in his heart.
Swift Recovery and Normal Heart Rhythm
Srisawat's recovery was remarkably quick; he stayed at the hospital for only one night and was discharged the following morning. A week later, he had a follow-up appointment, and tests confirmed his heartbeat had returned to normal.
Mr. Utsaha Ton-Ousim, a colon cancer patient who has trusted Ramkhamhaeng Hospital for over 20 years, shared his journey with the disease.
Initially, he experienced warning signs like narrower stools, irregular bowel movements, and mucus with blood, which he dismissed as hemorrhoid symptoms. He only sought medical attention when he started passing pure blood. Prior to this, he also had kidney stones with recurring pain in that area.
Upon examination, doctors diagnosed colon cancer through questioning and endoscopy, pinpointing the tumor at the site matching his previous symptoms. They surgically removed the mass and some lymph nodes to check for metastasis. Fortunately, lab results showed it was Stage 2 colon cancer, requiring only surgery and oral medication for treatment.
