I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.

View allI've been experiencing pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm for a few days now, and I'm starting to get really worried. I went ahead and got an ECG, echo, and TMT done. I've attached all the reports here. Do you think this could be related to my heart? Which specialist should I consult about this? I'm really anxious about what's going on.
Based on the symptoms you described and the tests you have done, it is important to rule out any heart-related issues. The ECG, echo, and TMT reports will provide valuable information to determine the cause of your chest pain and left arm pain. Considering your symptoms and the tests done, it is advisable to start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential heart issues. Additionally, you should consult a Cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. It is important to follow up with the Cardiologist regularly and adhere to their treatment plan.

I've had an Acute MI back in January 2019, and they did angioplasty within two days of the attack. Right now, I'm taking Vymada 59, Ecosprin 75, Brilinta 90, Eptus T 2510, Atocor 40, and Seloken XL 50. Everything's been mostly fine, but I do sometimes get breathless, have palpitations, feel dizzy, and even experience less alertness. I'm really curious about a few things: - What's the likelihood that my ejection fraction will increase? - How long can I expect to live with my condition and current treatment? - Are there any known long-term side effects of these medications on other parts of the body, and how can I minimize any negative effects? - My doctor mentioned considering an AICD. Would that help improve my ejection fraction? - What are some potential downsides to getting an AICD?

I'm a bit confused and concerned because I just got an EKG done, and the results say "borderline ECG." What exactly does that mean? Should I be worried about this?
Borderline ECG means that the results of your EKG are not definitively normal or abnormal. It suggests that there may be slight abnormalities in the electrical activity of your heart, but it is not conclusive. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
