I'm feeling palpitations in my jaws and neck, and I'm really concerned. Are these palpitations something that comes and goes, or could they be a permanent issue? Is there a treatment or cure for them?

-Palpitations are usually harmless and often pass on their own, triggered by stress, anxiety, or other temporary factors. If they persist or occur frequently, it's important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In most cases, they can

View allI'm really worried right now because my mom's been having chest pains. We took her to the doctor, and after doing the echo and ECG tests, they found out her ejection fraction is low, with an LVEF of 40-45. The doctor said we should wait 5 days for an angiography test, but I'm anxious. Do you think it's safe to wait that long or should we do it sooner?
Yes, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation to undergo the angiography test. This test will provide more information about the blood flow to the heart and help determine the best course of treatment for your mother's condition. Waiting for 5 days should not cause any harm, but it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and seek medical attention if there are any sudden changes or worsening of chest pain.

I'm having these weird palpitations and short jerks in my chest lasting just a couple of seconds, but it's not like they happen at any specific time. It really feels awkward when it happens, almost like my heart stops for a moment. What's strange is that even though I exercise regularly, I don't feel any pain in my chest. I've done ECG, 2D Echo, and Holter tests, and they all came back normal. So, Im really wondering, do you think I might have some sort of cardiac blockage? Are these episodes a sign of something serious like a cardiac arrest in the future? Or if it's not something major with my heart, what else could be causing these jerks and palpitations?

I've got pretty high cholesterol levels, like 267, and my LDL is around 180, but my HDL is at 60.59. I tried using statins to lower my cholesterol, but I started having some issues, like erection problems, so I had to stop. Even with changes to my diet and exercise, the lowest I could get my cholesterol down to was 234. Can you recommend any medications that won't mess with my sexual health, or maybe some natural remedies? I also tried Rosave 10, which didn't cause any sexual issues, but it did make me urinate more frequently. What should I consider next?
Given your history of experiencing sexual side effects with statins, a good alternative medication for lowering cholesterol levels without such side effects is Ezetimibe (brand name Zetia). You can take Ezetimibe 10mg once daily. It works by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol from the diet. Additionally, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to your daily regimen, as they have been shown to help lower cholesterol levels naturally. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement.
