I'm really concerned about the long-term effects of beta blockers for managing hypertension. I've heard they might raise blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Can you suggest which beta blocker is the safest and has the least side effects?

View allI'm a bit concerned about this flickering feeling I've been having in my right chest for the past 45 days. Sometimes it also aches a little, and it happens regularly, like every 15 to 20 minutes, lasting for about 45 seconds. It's near the rib area, and I've noticed my heart's beating faster too. My blood pressure is 13086. Is this something serious? I don't have any other issues, no cough or fever, and I can breathe fine, but this has got me worried. What could it be?

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
