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 allI'm really concerned about my dad's heart health. He had a mild heart attack back in 1995 but never went through any angiography. He seemed fine up until December 2021, when a routine check-up revealed he has aortic stenosis. It's a bit confusing because he doesn't have any symptoms like breathlessness, and his cholesterol levels are normal. He's been on Ecosprin Gold 10 since 2014, but now another cardiologist is suggesting he switches to Ecosprin AV 7510. I'm just wondering, is that change in medication okay? I really need some expert advice on this.
Yes its ok no problem you can use ecospirin av ,follow your doctors advice

I've been really worried about some medication I took a while back. In 2015, I was prescribed dexa 0.5 mg for about two months to help with weight gain. At the time, I didn't really think about the side effects, but now I'm concerned about how it might be affecting my heart. I've had tests like TMT, echo, and ECG, and they're all normal, but I'm still dealing with dyspnea and fatigue quite a bit. Could these issues be lingering side effects from the dexamethasone I took, even if my heart tests are coming out fine?
"Based on your history of taking dexamethasone 0.5 mg regularly for 2 months in 2015 and your current symptoms of dyspnea and fatigue, it is important to consider the potential long-term effects of dexamethasone on your heart. While your TMT, echo, and ECG are normal, prolonged use of dexamethasone can still have implications on cardiovascular health. To address your symptoms and concerns about potential heart side effects, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. In the meantime, you can consider medications like ACE inhibitors or beta-blockers to help manage any potential cardiac issues associated with dexamethasone use. It is important to prioritize your heart health and seek appropriate medical guidance to ensure comprehensive care tailored to your individual needs."

I've had a chest X-ray done and they tested the size of my heart wall. They said everything's okay with my heart, but I'm still wondering, is it normal to have the same weight of 65 kg for the past 2 years? Should I be concerned about anything despite the tests being clear?
donot worry if you have symptoms do 2D echo
