I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

I'm a bit concerned after my recent health check-up. My ECG showed moderate ST depression, but my 2D Echo came out normal. My blood pressure was also 14590. The doctor said it might be due to anxiety and stress. Could this really be the cause, or should I be worried about something else? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm 22 years old and I smoke regularly. Lately, I've been experiencing a tight feeling and pain in my chest and back over the past few days. I'm not sure if it's related to my heart, lungs, or maybe something gastric? It gets worse whenever I lift something heavy or if I try to get up quickly from bed. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?

Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.
