I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?

View allHey, I've got my mom's ECG report here and I'm a bit worried. She's 55 and was dealing with some pretty high blood pressure at 200100. She's been taking Tritelsar 80 as prescribed, and her blood pressure's come down to 13090, which is great. But, I'm still concerned about whether this is something serious or life-threatening? She's also been working really hard on getting healthier over the past year by doing brisk walking, yoga, basic workouts, and she's cut back on salt in her diet too. Could you help me understand the ECG report a bit?
The ECG report shows sinus rhythm with no significant abnormalities. Given your mother's history of hypertension, it is important to continue monitoring her blood pressure regularly. Tritelsar 80 hs is a good choice to help control her blood pressure. It is important for her to continue with her current lifestyle modifications such as exercise, yoga, and a low-salt diet. There is no indication of a worrisome or life-threatening disease based on the ECG report. However, it is essential to follow up with her doctor regularly to ensure her blood pressure remains controlled and to address any concerns. In summary, continue with Tritelsar 80 hs as prescribed by the doctor, monitor blood pressure regularly, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a low-salt diet.

I'm experiencing just mild chest pain that's been on the left side and it's been going on since morning. It hasn't stopped. What would you suggest I do?
Chest pain, especially if it's persistent and on the left side, can be concerning. It's important to rule out any serious conditions like a heart attack. I recommend taking a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and seeking medical help. Aspirin can help reduce the risk of blood clots. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional as soon as possible to determine the cause of your chest pain.

I'm really worried about my father. He's been diagnosed with severe coronary ectasia and previously, doctors mentioned that a bypass surgery isn't an option for him. I'm wondering if treatments like Ace Inhibitors or the drug Entresto could be effective in his situation? Lately, he's been having more frequent chest pains and feeling a lot of unease. Could you provide some guidance on this?
For the treatment of coronary ectasia, Ace Inhibitors such as Lisinopril can be beneficial in managing symptoms and improving heart function. The recommended dosage of Lisinopril is usually starting at 2.5-5 mg once a day, which can be adjusted by the doctor based on individual response. Entresto, which is a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, can also be considered for the treatment of heart failure in patients with reduced ejection fraction. The usual starting dose of Entresto is 4951 mg twice daily, which can be increased to the target maintenance dose of 97103 mg twice daily as tolerated. However, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making changes to his current treatment plan. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare professional are essential in managing coronary ectasia and associated symptoms.
