I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

View allI'm really concerned about my dad's health. He had a bypass surgery back in 2007, even though he hadn't had a heart attack. He's been doing well all these years, just keeping up with his regular meds and walking routines. He's also been managing diabetes for the last 35 years. I'm wondering, is it okay for him to start swimming now? Do you think it'd be safe for him given his medical history?

Is a pacemaker a good option for my dad? He's 61 and had a heart attack in March. His lvef was 15 at the time, and he's also diabetic. I'm worried about his condition and wondering if a pacemaker would really help.
A pacemaker may be helpful in your father's condition, especially if he has a low ejection fraction (15%). In cases of heart attack and heart failure, a pacemaker can help regulate the heart's rhythm and improve its overall function. Additionally, since your father is diabetic, it is important to manage both conditions effectively. In this case, along with a pacemaker, medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics may also be prescribed to help improve heart function and manage diabetes. It is important for your father to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan and to discuss the specific brand names and dosages of medications suitable for your father's condition.
