I had a cardiac arrest back in 2007 and they found 25% blockage after an angiography at the hospital in Mumbai. Lately, for the last 15 days or so, I've been feeling weak pretty regularly. Had a Doppler and 2D echo test done in Jodhpur recently, and the doctor told me my heart is working at only 20%. I'm really concerned about this. What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about my dad's health right now. A couple of years ago, he had bypass surgery and brain stenting, and he's been doing okay since then. But I've noticed that his pulse rate sometimes jumps to somewhere between 55 and 58 while he's resting and it goes even higher, to about 70 or 80, when hes walking. When hes sitting, it mostly remains at 55 to 58, whereas it used to be above 65. His blood pressure is 11570, and hes on a few medications like metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500. Should I be worried about these changes? He's not showing any symptoms or anything, but with the ongoing corona situation, we're hesitant to rush to the doctor for an ECG. Could this be normal, or is it something we need to look into?

His pulse rate dropping to 55-58 while resting and 70-80 after walking, with most of the time sitting at 55-58, is slightly lower than usual. Given his medical history of bypass surgery and brain stenting, along with the medications he is currently taking (metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500), it is important to monitor his heart rate closely. Considering he is feeling fine with no other symptoms, it may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it would be advisable to consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider discussing with his doctor about adjusting the dosage of metosartan 50 to help regulate his pulse rate within a normal range.

I've been having trouble taking deep breaths for about a month now. It feels like there's pressure on my heart, and I can't get rid of this dry mouth, even though I'm drinking lots of water. My X-ray and thyroid tests came back normal. What could be going on? Is there something I should be worried about?
