I'm feeling some discomfort in a few spots on both sides of my chest. My HDL cholesterol is low, and I recently had a mildly positive TMT test. What do you think could be going on, and is there anything I should do?

I'm a bit worried because I just got some results back and I'm not sure what to make of them. My blood pressure is reading 13090 and my recent echo shows I've got Grade 1 Diastolic Dysfunction. I'm wondering, can losing weight help reverse this condition? Also, my ECG indicates a sinus rhythm, which I believe is normal, but should I be concerned?

Yes it can be reversed,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some palpitations, breathlessness, and dizziness, even without pushing myself too hard physically. I had an echocardiogram, and it turns out I have mitral valve prolapse with just mild mitral regurgitation. Is it usual to have these symptoms with only mild regurgitation? Also, it's been tough not being active, and I've dropped to an underweight level. To top it off, I've been experiencing erectile dysfunction. Could this be linked to the mitral valve prolapse?

I'm really worried about a situation I'm facing right now. Lately, I've noticed that he can't even make it to 1015 steps without getting super out of breath. But oddly enough, he's able to sleep comfortably. Should I be concerned about this imbalance, and is there something specific I should be looking into or doing for him?
