I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of a bigger issue, and what might help ease the pain?

View allI'm experiencing some heart palpitations and they make me feel really uncomfortable and short of breath. I've also been feeling pretty tired lately. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be worried about this?
Heart palpitations causing discomfort and breathlessness along with fatigue can be due to various reasons. It could be related to underlying heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart valve disorders, or heart failure. Other possible causes include thyroid disorders, anxiety or panic attacks, anemia, or even certain medications. To address the symptoms, it is important to first identify the underlying cause. I recommend you consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

I'm really struggling to understand my heart issues. For someone who's been dealing with heart problems for 34 years, it's tough to know what's happening. I have diastolic relaxation abnormality, and my TMT was mildly positive, but that was dismissed with a normal CT angiography. I often feel my heart skip a beat with a thud during exercise and even at rest. My exercise tolerance seems to be getting worse, and my heart rate jumps past 130 after just a few minutes of daily activity, though it calms to 60s bpm in the morning. I often feel dizzy, weak, and fatigued. The ECGs say I have LVH, but the echo says normal LVM. Can diastolic relaxation abnormality indicate heart failure? Is the ECG more reliable than the echo for identifying LVH? And should I be comfortable trusting the CT angio results? Any insights would really help clarify things for me.
1. Diastolic relaxation abnormality does not necessarily mean you have heart failure, but it does indicate that your heart's ability to relax and fill with blood is impaired. It is a condition that can progress and should be monitored and managed carefully by your healthcare provider. 2. The echocardiogram (echo) is generally considered more accurate for assessing left ventricular mass (LVM) and structure, so you can trust the echo results over the ECG for diagnosing LVH. 3. A normal CT angiography report is generally reliable and indicates that your coronary arteries do not have significant blockages. Given your symptoms of skipped heartbeats, exercise intolerance, dizziness, and fatigue, it's important to follow up with your cardiologist. They may need to reassess your condition and consider other diagnostic tests or treatment changes. Continuous monitoring and a thorough evaluation by your healthcare provider are essential to address your concerns and ensure proper management of your heart health.
