I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been told I'm obese, with a BMI of 33.4. I had an echocardiogram done about six months ago, and fortunately, everything looked normal. I'm really trying to keep an eye on my heart health, so I'm curioushow often should I be getting an echocardiogram to make sure everything stays okay?

View allI'm a 22-year-old male and recently had a panic attack that lasted for three days on September 6, 2017. Ever since then, I've been noticing that even the smallest tasks make my heart rate go way up. I got an ECG done, and it showed sinus rhythm and an incomplete right bundle branch block. I'm really not sure what to do next. Should I be worried? What steps should I take from here?

I'm really worried because her entire body is getting swollen and the doctor mentioned something about heart enlargement with fluid buildup. She seems to only stay healthy and not get swollen if she consistently takes her medication and injections to remove the fluid. What's this condition called, how serious is it, and what can be done to help her live a healthier, longer life? I'd really appreciate any advice.
It sounds like your loved one is experiencing symptoms of congestive heart failure, which is a serious condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup in the body. To manage this condition and improve her health and longevity, she will need to take medications such as Furosemide (Lasix) to help remove excess fluid from the body. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) or Carvedilol (Coreg) may be prescribed to help the heart function better and reduce symptoms. It is important for her to follow a low-sodium diet, monitor her fluid intake, and regularly follow up with her healthcare provider for proper management of her condition.
