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?

View allI'm a bit worried because I woke up this morning with my heart racing and ended up going to the ER. They told me I have PSVT and PVC. It felt like my heart stopped and then started again, but they said my echo was normal. Are these arrhythmias something I should be concerned about?
PSVT and PVC can be concerning but are usually not life-threatening. However, it is important to manage them to prevent complications. For PSVT, medications like Verapamil or Metoprolol can be prescribed to control heart rate during episodes. For PVC, if symptoms are bothersome, medications like Propranolol can be used to reduce their frequency. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm hoping to put on some weight by doing heavy weight lifting exercises, but I've been worried about my echo report from last October. It was just a routine checkup, and I'm completely fit, feeling fine, and have no issues. I do brisk walking for 45 minutes daily without any problems. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a mitral valve prolapse or if mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation is a concern. Could you advise me on how much weight I can safely lift given this condition? I've attached my report below.
Moderate weight lifting is advised.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure this morning was 16090, and she's gained 45 kgs in the last 7 months. She doesn't show any other symptoms, but should I be concerned? Do you think she should start on any medication, or is there something else I should do? I'm planning to keep track of her blood pressure from now on. What would you recommend?
High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Given your mother's blood pressure reading of 16090, it is considered high and should be monitored closely. Since she has also gained weight recently, it is important to address this as well to help lower her blood pressure. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, and weight loss if needed. Additionally, she can start taking an antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring.
