I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

View allI'm curious about some symptoms I've been experiencing. A few months back, I did an echo report and a TMT, which came back negative. Lately, though, I've been having this pressure and a burning sensation in my chest, plus a lot of burping. I'm a bit worriedis this something heart-related? Should I consider getting more tests done to check my heart health? Would love to hear your thoughts.
based on your symptoms of pressure in chest, burping, burning sensation, and pain in chest, it is important to further evaluate your heart health. In addition to the echo report and negative TMT, I would recommend a few more tests for a comprehensive heart evaluation. 1. **ECG (Electrocardiogram)**: To assess the electrical activity of your heart. 2. **Holter Monitor**: To monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 3. **Cardiac CT Scan or MRI**: To get detailed images of your heart's structure and function. 4. **Blood tests**: Such as lipid profile and cardiac enzymes to check for any abnormalities. Based on the results of these tests, further treatment or management can be determined.

I'm dealing with a right bundle branch block and experiencing some head dizziness that just won't go away. It's been really hard to focus at work because of these syncope episodes. Do you have any advice or remedies that might help with this?
It's important to address the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, to help manage your dizziness, you can try taking Betahistine (brand name: Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce dizziness. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, avoid sudden movements, and consider wearing compression stockings to improve blood flow. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical evaluation.

My father had angioplasty last December but still has a mild blockage. The doctor said they'll deal with it later and he's on meds now but has constant coughing. Will the meds clear the blockage or will he need another surgery? If surgery is needed how soon should it be done? He's reluctant to go back to the hospital and I'm worried about his condition
do echo first.
