I'm experiencing some heart-related issues that are making me a bit anxious. Back in December 2019, I had a fast heartbeat and some pain on my left side, so I went to a cardio doctor in Patna. After running an ECG, he prescribed me clonozepam, etizola, and a beta blocker, which really helped at the time. But lately, I've been noticing this fluttering sensation in my heart, and it's making me wonder if it's something I should be worried about or if it's fine to just ignore it. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm really worried after finding out from my CT coronary angiography that I have soft plaque in the proximal LAD causing moderate narrowing, and there's bridging in the mid LAD. Thankfully, my heart scan and 2D echo are normal. But now I'm kind of stressed about what precautions I should be taking and what medicines might help. I just feel unsure about the next steps and would love some guidance. What should I do to manage this situation?
Its understandable to feel concerned, but with your CT angiography showing mild narrowing (60%) and normal 2D echo, it suggests your heart function is still intact. For now, focus on lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and medications like aspirin or statins as prescribed by your doctor to prevent further plaque buildup. Stay in close contact with your cardiologist for regular check-ups and guidance.

I'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.
Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.

My husband's blood pressure has been quite high, around 150, and he's been getting frequent headaches for about a week now. What can we do to help lower his blood pressure and ease the headaches?
To help your husband reduce his high blood pressure (150) and frequent headaches, consider the following steps: encourage him to consult his doctor to adjust his medication or lifestyle plan; monitor and record his blood pressure regularly; promote stress-reducing techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga; support a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins; encourage regular physical activity, like walking, for at least 30 minutes daily; and help him maintain a consistent sleep schedule, aiming for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
