I'm a bit worried after seeing the results of my 2D ECHO. It mentions "diastolic dysfunction present EA," and I'm not quite sure what that means. Could you explain it to me?

Diastolic dysfunction means that the heart is not able to relax and fill properly during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This can lead to problems with the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. In this case, you may be prescribed medications like ACE inhibitors (e.g. Enalapril) or beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) to help improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.

View allI'm a bit worried about a possible heart issue. So, I was working and suddenly got this intense headache. I went to see a doctor, and my ECG was a bit off. The Troponin I test showed 0.15 while my BP was 144. The doctor advised me to rest for 45 days with some meds and said there's no need to worry. After two days, I checked my ECG and BP, and they were both normal. I'm really curious if there's still a risk of any heart stroke or damage. What do you think?
A sudden headache and an elevated troponin I level of 0.15 ngmL can be concerning, as troponin is a marker of heart muscle damage. However, since your ECG and blood pressure are now normal and your doctor advised rest and medication, it appears that any immediate risk has been managed. It's important to follow your doctor's advice, take your medication, and rest as prescribed. Additionally, continue to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for any further evaluation or tests they recommend. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or another severe headache, seek medical attention immediately.

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain right in the center of my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it goes away. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something simple?
Mild, intermittent chest pain lasting a few seconds, located in the middle of your chest, may indicate non-cardiac causes such as acid reflux, anxiety, or musculoskeletal issues, but to rule out cardiac conditions like angina or myocardial infarction, it's essential to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and possibly stress tests or imaging studies.
