I'm experiencing some chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath. The pain also seems to radiate to my back. I'm having trouble sleeping because of the discomfort in both my chest and back. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this and what steps I should take?

View allI'm really worried about what's happening with my health. So, I had a brain stroke about 2 months ago, and my doctor recommended getting an Echo cardiogram. The test showed something called "Reduced diastolic compliance". I'm not sure what this means. Is this something serious? Should I be really concerned about it?
This means that the heart is having difficulty relaxing and filling with blood during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This condition can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. To improve diastolic compliance, the doctor may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a dosage of 10-20mg daily. Additionally, Beta-blockers like Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg daily may also be recommended. It is important to follow up with the doctor regularly to monitor and manage this condition.

I'm feeling really confused and worried. Last year, my echocardiogram showed diastolic dysfunction, but when I did it again this year, it showed everything was fine with no sign of it. I'm trying to understand if diastolic dysfunction can reverse itself? I read online that it usually happens to older people, but I'm not that old and my blood pressure, sugar, and thyroid levels are all normal. Why did this happen to me, and should I be worried about it?
Your present echocardiogram is normal, previous report may reflect your clinical condition on that time. At present your reports are within normal limits.

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?
renal function tests, pulmonary function tests are advised...
