I'm really worried about my mom who's 89 and dealing with a leaky heart valve. Every couple of months, she gets shortness of breath and ends up in the hospital. Theyve given her a diuretic for the foot swelling and fluid in her lungs, but I'm really anxious to know what her life expectancy might be like with this condition at her age. Can you shed some light on this?

I've got some concerns about a recent ECG reading. It showed a mild STT change, and my heart rate was at 128. Is this something I should be worried about? Could the tachycardia be causing the STT change?

Mild ST-T changes in an ECG can be non-specific and may not always indicate a serious issue. Yes, tachycardia can cause ST-T changes due to the increased heart rate. A heart rate of 128 in an ECG may be considered tachycardia, which can be a concern depending on the underlying cause and symptoms. To address this, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg to help control the heart rate and reduce the risk of further complications.
