Hello sir, got your concern. Electrical cardioversion is given to someone to bring their heart back to beating, that is bring them back to life. It does little affect on the heart but thatâs given to bring it back to beating once again like before. Itâs natural to feel weak after this so itâs better if you look after his diet which should be healthy with multivitamins and calcium supplements. For any further query consult me on the Lybrate app by using the doctor code as0545.

Exotropia is common and treatable, especially when diagnosed and corrected at a young age. By about 4 months of age, the eyes should be aligned and able to focus. If you notice misalignment after this point, have it checked out by an eye doctor.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
