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 really concerned about this persistent pain in my left arm that's been going on for around two months. I've had an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the doctor said everything looks good, but its still there. I found out my triglyceride cholesterol levels are a bit high, around 300. I've been on Rosufit10 for about the same time, but I'm not sure how long I need to keep taking it. I tried taking Gabapin Plus 100 for the muscle pain, did it for a month, but that didnt seem to help much. Now I'm considering going for a CT angio to get a clearer picture. Are there any side effects or risks I should know about?
For your high triglyceride levels, continue taking Rosufit10 as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, statin medications like Rosufit10 are taken long-term to manage cholesterol levels effectively. - Since Gabapin Plus 100 did not help with your muscle pain, you may discuss alternative medications with your doctor. They may consider prescribing a different muscle relaxant or pain reliever based on your specific symptoms. - CT angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical test, it carries some risks. These risks include exposure to radiation, potential allergic reactions to contrast dye, and a small risk of kidney damage in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions. It's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

I'm experiencing some pinching and squeezing chest pains, and my heart rate seems to jump between 80 and 120 with some palpitations. The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons after I eat, but it also happens in the evenings, especially when I start thinking about stuff, even small thoughts make my heart rate go up but it does slow down after I get myself to calm down. I've done multiple ECGs, TM tests, and echoes, and they've all been normal so far. There is sinus tachycardia, though. I don't smoke or drink, but I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and worry. My cholesterol is at 240 and my blood pressure is around 13090. My sugar levels are almost normal and I weigh 70 kgs with a 5.5 height. I follow a light veg South rice diet and don't eat meat. What's causing this chest pain and geyser-like hot sensation? It's really unsettling and causing me some social anxiety. I'm not married and I don't really have much of a social life. What should I do?

My dad was in the hospital, had an angiography, and they put a stent in his heart. Ever since, his heart rate's been all over the place, and he's been vomiting blood after eating or drinking. What's going on? Is this normal after a procedure like this, or should we be really concerned?
