I'm looking at my mom's ECG and echo reports, and I'm kind of worried. The ECG mentions poor R wave progression from V1 to V3, and the echo report says she has grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means. The thing is, she doesn't have any heart issue symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Could you help me understand what these findings imply?

View allI'm curious about my health situation. I've been on Amcard for the past 10 years, but this year my blood pressure isn't controlled. I recently did a lipid profile, and while my cholesterol level went down from 210 to 165, my triglycerides have gone up from 135 to 195. I also drink about 200 ml of alcohol every day and have been doing so for the last 30 years. Could this be affecting my test results, and should I be concerned or make some changes?
Alcohol intake can significantly impact triglyceride levels. I recommend reducing your alcohol consumption to help lower your triglyceride levels. In addition, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Atorvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. The usual dosage for Atorvastatin is 10-80 mg per day, depending on your specific needs. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure and lipid levels effectively.

I've been using meth for 18 years and I'm about to get a pacemaker. I'm really worried about whether I can continue using meth after I have the pacemaker implanted. What are my chances of living a normal life, and what are the worst complications I could face?
Continuing meth use after getting a pacemaker is dangerous and can increase the risk of severe heart complications, including heart failure, cardiac arrest, and stroke. The best course of action is to quit using meth, work with your healthcare provider, and focus on rehabilitation and healthy lifestyle changes to support your heart health.

I'm 21 and recently, I've been having these awful symptoms like fever, headache, neck pain, and muscle strain for a few days now. My blood pressure was really high at one point, 160 over 100, but it's slightly better now at 140 over 70. However, I'm experiencing some serious chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath, which is quite worrying. My hemoglobin level is just 7, and I'm usually pretty active with yoga and cardio workouts. My weight is 52 kg and so is my height in inches, which I know is unusual. Could all of these symptoms be connected, and should I be doing anything specific to address them?
Diagnosis is anaemia hb 7 , kindly consult the physicisn for further management.
