I'm feeling a bit worried about my chest. I had covid a couple of months back and recovered, but this past week, I've been experiencing some tightness there. I had an ECG done and it came out normal, but I'm still concerned. Could you please take a look at my X-ray and let me know if everything seems okay?

View allI'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone. Do you think any of these could be causing her cough, or is there something else we should be looking into? I really want to help her get some relief. What do you suggest?
That could be due to side effect of one of the medicines that your using visit your doctor for switch of the medicine and maintain healthy lifestyle

I'm a bit confused about my recent 2D echo test results. My LVEF was 60 last year, but now it's dropped to 56. The cardiologist said that's normal, but I'm doing intense exercise like jogging, so I would've thought it might increase. Should I be worried, or do you think I need any additional tests? I'm 183 cm tall and weigh 83 kg.
In your case, the decrease in LVEF from 60% to 56% may not necessarily be a cause for concern, especially if your cardiologist has deemed it normal. It's important to consider that LVEF can vary slightly between tests due to factors like hydration status, timing of the test, and even the technician performing the test. However, since you are engaging in intense exercise like jogging, it's good to monitor any changes in your heart function. To support your heart health while engaging in intense exercise, you can consider taking Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements. CoQ10 can help improve heart function and provide antioxidant support. You can take CoQ10 at a dosage of 100-200mg per day. Additionally, it may be beneficial to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet or as a supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and support overall heart health. Aim for a daily dosage of 1000-2000mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. Remember to stay hydrated during your exercise routine and listen to your body for any signs of overexertion. If you experience any concerning symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, consult with your cardiologist for further evaluation.
