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?

I've been having these sudden blackout episodes lately, and it's a bit worrying. Sometimes when I stand up too quickly, everything just goes dark for a few seconds. Just the other night, I got out of bed to use the bathroom and suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, then I blacked out and collapsed for a moment. Do you know why this might be happening or what I should do about it?

These symptoms could be indicative of orthostatic hypotension, where a sudden drop in blood pressure occurs when changing positions. To help manage this condition, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly changing positions to allow your body to adjust. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Fludrocortisone to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.
