Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction can be managed and sometimes improved with lifestyle changes and medications. Some ways to help reverse left ventricular diastolic dysfunction include: - ACE inhibitors like Enalapril (5-20 mg once daily) - ARBs like Losartan (25-100 mg once daily) - Beta blockers like Metoprolol (25-100 mg once daily) - Calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine (5-10 mg once daily) - Diuretics like Furosemide (20-80 mg once daily) It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

I'm having this chest pain that comes and goes every day. It really bothers me, but weirdly, it seems to ease up when I take deep breaths. I've been dealing with it for about two years now, and I've also been diagnosed with anxiety. Plus, I have issues with acidity and a bit of heartburn. Could my chest pain just be from anxiety, or is there something else going on?

I'm a 26-year-old male, around 78 kg, and about 5'9". During my UPSC physical test, the doctor mentioned hearing a slight heart murmur through the stethoscope. I went through an echo test and an ECG, but they didn't find anything specific. I passed the test, but I'm kind of worried about what this could mean for my future. My recent cholesterol levels are 195 total, 96 LDL, 35 VLDL, and 39 HDL. The echo test showed that my IV septum is 11. Should I be concerned about this murmur, and is there something I should be doing to address it? Your guidance would be really helpful.

Given your situation, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To address the heart murmur, you can take a low dose of **Aspirin** daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, **Atorvastatin** can be used to manage your cholesterol levels effectively. It is recommended to take **Atorvastatin 20mg** daily to keep your LDL cholesterol in check. Regular exercise, a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and avoiding smoking can also help improve your heart health and reduce the risk of future issues. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring.
