I'm experiencing some left arm pain and dizziness lately, and I also have GERD issues. From time to time, I get this jaw pain too. Could this be something related to my heart? I had a Holter test done back in February and everything seemed normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Would really appreciate your insight on this.

View allI'm really concerned about the long-term effects of beta blockers for managing hypertension. I've heard they might raise blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Can you suggest which beta blocker is the safest and has the least side effects?

My dad is 54 and started having heart issues about 7 years ago. He's been on medication, but since last year, his ejection fraction dropped first to 38 and now it's at 42. What can we do to help improve his ejection fraction? I'm really worried.
It's important to closely monitor and manage your father's heart condition. To help increase his ejection fraction (EF), the following medications can be considered: - ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily - Beta-blockers like Carvedilol 6.25mg twice daily - Aldosterone antagonists like Spironolactone 25mg once daily In addition to medication, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, and stress management can also help improve EF. Regular follow-ups with his cardiologist are essential to adjust his treatment plan as needed.

I'm having high BP of around 13090 for the past five years and was on Aten 0.25 and Restyl 0.25 for sleep issues. After a couple of years, I had to increase Restyl to 0.5 because the lower dose wasn't helping much with sleep. Then after five years, that too stopped being effective, so I decided to stop taking both Restyl and Aten. I'm trying out ayurvedic medicines now. A friend of mine mentioned having 5 to 10 ml of beer with 6% alcohol for better sleep. I'm curious if that's a good idea or if there are better alternatives.
it's not good
