I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

View allI'm a bit worried about my dad. He's 61 and has been dealing with diabetes and thalassemia. He had surgery for a blockage about six years ago, and now he's been feeling really fatigued. He just got a 2D echo done, and the report says RWMALVEF 50. Should I be concerned about these results? Is it something dangerous or is this considered normal given his medical history?
Patient's 2D echo report showing impression of Regional Wall Motion Abnormality (RWMA) with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) of 50% indicates a decreased heart function. This can be concerning and may require further evaluation and management. To improve heart function and address fatigue, the patient can be prescribed medications like Carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily and Lisinopril 5 mg once daily. Additionally, the patient may benefit from Aspirin 81 mg daily for cardiovascular protection. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm really concerned because my heart pumping has reduced to 30. Is it better to start on medication right away or should I consider other treatments? Also, could yoga be an effective option for dealing with this issue? I could really use some guidance on this.
Heart pumping reduce to 30% can be a serious condition and may require medical intervention. To improve heart function and manage symptoms, I would recommend starting with medication such as Carvedilol at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily, along with Lisinopril at a dosage of 10mg once daily. These medications can help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. In addition to medication, regular exercise, such as yoga, can also be beneficial. Yoga can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and strengthen the heart muscles. Poses such as the Mountain Pose, Warrior Pose, and Bridge Pose can be particularly helpful. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen to ensure it is safe for your condition.

I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side, right above my heart. It happened for a few minutes, but then it went back to normal. The same thing occurred about six months ago. I'm a bit concerned and would love to get your suggestions on what might be going on and how I can deal with this issue.
Based on your description of chest pain above the heart that comes and goes, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the pain is brief and has occurred before, it could be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall. I recommend taking a pain reliever such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is advised.
