I'm a bit concerned about a recent cardiologist appointment where I was suspected of having an ASD. I'm already taking some home remedies like apple cider vinegar and cinnamon. I've heard about another Ayurvedic medicine called Terminalia Arjuna that's quite common in the market. I'm curious if it's safe to take that while I'm still consulting with an allopathic cardiologist. Would it be okay to try?

Terminalia Arjuna is an Ayurvedic medicine commonly used for heart health. While it may have some benefits, it is important to consult with your cardialogist before adding any new medication to your regimen. They will be able to advise you on the safety and potential interactions of Terminalia Arjuna with your current allopathic treatment.

View allI'm not sure if what I'm feeling is gas, but there's this mild pain in my heart area. Should I be worried about this, or could it just go away on its own?
Mild pain in the heart area could be due to various reasons, including gastrointestinal issues like gas, musculoskeletal problems, or cardiac concerns. Since it's important to rule out any serious conditions, I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. They may perform tests such as an ECG or blood work to rule out heart-related issues and provide further guidance based on their findings. If the pain is related to gas, lifestyle and dietary changes, along with over-the-counter antacids, might help.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 65 and had open heart surgery last June. He's also been dealing with some CLVA on his left side for about 8 years. Just last week, he started having swelling in his legs. Can you help me understand what's causing this?
Swelling in the legs could be due to several factors, including heart-related issues such as heart failure, especially after open-heart surgery. It could also be related to his history of CLVA (Chronic Left Ventricular Aneurysm), which can affect circulation. I recommend getting a medical evaluation to determine the exact cause and ensure proper treatment.
