I'm looking at my echocardiography report and I'm a bit worried. It says things like IVSTD 03 mm, LVPWD 07 mm, LVIDd 70 mm, FS 13, LVIDs 61 mm, and EF 28. I'm not sure what all of that means, but I'm concerned about whether these measurements are okay. Am I actually fit? Can you help me understand this?

Based on your echocardiography report, it indicates that you have a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 28%, which is below the normal range (55-70%). This may indicate a decrease in the pumping function of your heart. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you may be prescribed medications such as Carvedilol

View allI'm a bit worried because my doctor said it's palpitation and my ECG came back normal. At the time, my heart rate was around 100 bpm, and they prescribed me medicine for 10 days. Now it's the fourth day, and I'm noticing my heart rate is sometimes above 100 or in the 90s, but when I wake up, it's around 80 or 78, and at night it's between 67 and 72 when I'm resting. How long do you think it'll take for my heart rate to stabilize back to normal? It's above 90 and sometimes even over 100 in the afternoon before it calms down.
The medication prescribed by your doctor is likely a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for heart palpitations is around 25-50mg twice daily. It may take a few weeks for the medication to fully regulate your heart rate. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed and follow up with your doctor for any concerns or adjustments to the treatment plan.

I'm really concerned about my mom because she's been taking Telmisartan 40 for over a year now. I've noticed she's been feeling fatigued and dizzy, and I'm worried these might be side effects from the medicine. Her blood pressure readings have been normal for a while, so I'm just wondering if it's safe for her to stop taking it?
abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to rebound hypertension; if her blood pressure remains normal, her doctor may consider gradually tapering off the medication or switching to a different treatment, but it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of stopping the medication against the risks of uncontrolled hypertension.

I'm looking over my recent ECG report and I'm a bit worried about understanding it. It shows various measurements like QRS 84ms, QTQTcB 360439 ms, PR 148ms, and more stuff like that. I'm not sure if anything seems off, especially with these values like P 92ms and RRPP 672650 ms, and how they all add up. Also, theres something about Sokolow 1.3mVNK from 13 May. Could you explain what these all mean and if I should be concerned about anything unusual here?
