I'm a bit worried after seeing my chest x-ray results. It mentions mild bilateral perihilar and basal congestion along with borderline cardiomegaly. Can you explain what this means, and how I might be able to treat it or manage the symptoms?

I've been experiencing this sharp pain on the lower left side of my chest for a while now. It usually goes away after some time, but it seems to come back every now and then, without any specific pattern. Should I be worried about this? Any idea what might be causing it?

Respect sir, Ive been dealing with the effects of the second wave of COVID and was on steroids. Im a bit on the heavier side, weighing 140 kgs, and I have a fear of heart issues. While I dont have any diagnosed heart problems, I get really anxious whenever I see stuff about heart issues on TV or my phone. Sometimes I experience pain in my right hand, and although my ECG results are normal, it worries me. Should I be considering a TMT test, or is there another test I should look into for peace of mind?

Based on your symptoms and concerns, it would be advisable for you to undergo a TMT (Treadmill Stress Test) to assess your heart's function and detect any potential issues related to your chest pain and fear of heart problems. Additionally, considering your weight and fibromyalgia condition, it would be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

The normal range for Right Ventricle EDD mid cavity is 2.0-3.5 cm, and for Left Ventricle EDD mid cavity is 3.0-5.6 cm. The normal range for ejection fraction is typically between 50-70%.
