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?

View allIs there any difference between sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia? I'm trying to understand if they are the same thing or if they affect the heart in different ways. It's a bit confusing to me, and I'm worried about what these terms mean for heart health. Could you explain it in simple terms?
Sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia are different conditions. Sinus arrhythmia is a normal variation in heart rate that occurs with breathing - the heart rate increases with inhalation and decreases with exhalation. It is usually harmless and does not require treatment. On the other hand, sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart rate is faster than normal, typically above 100 beats per minute. In some cases, sinus tachycardia may be a sign of an underlying medical condition and treatment may be necessary. If you are experiencing symptoms of either condition, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my husband's recent health tests. He had an ECG and a 2D echo at Manipal hospitals as part of a health package. When we looked at the reports at home, we noticed that the Doppler study mentions a mitral flow ea and a tr jet at 2.7ms with a 30mm gradient. The doctors there didn't mention anything unusual, but this feels concerning. He's had high blood pressure for years but it's now under control with lifestyle changes and he's stopped taking medication recently. His cholesterol is also high, with a total of 222, HDL at 39, and LDL at 159. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Should we consider an angiogram?
No need to worry they are optimum and no need to rush for any other investigations maintain healthy lifestyle and follow your doctors advice and regular follow ups with your doctor
