I'm really concerned about my father's heart condition. His report says the LVEF is 25, which I read somewhere is quite low, and theres mention of severe LV systolic dysfunction. The terms like "Grade mitral regurgitation" and "moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension" caught my attention. Can you help me understand what all this means? Also, what should we be doing next to manage or improve his heart health?

View allI'm having this weird experience where I feel a pulse in my butt when I'm sitting or lying on the bed. It comes out of nowhere, and once I pay attention to it, the pulse is perfectly in sync with my heart rate. It's like it won't stop as long as I focus on it. I also have high cholesterol and sometimes feel this pulsing in my ankle and the sole of my foot. I'm honestly really confused because some doctors say it's nothing, while others online mention it might be peripheral artery disease. I'm just 21, and the thought of this possibly being something serious is making me super anxious. What should I do?
At your age (21) and with a normal heart rate and no other major symptoms, this sensation is very unlikely to be a sign of something dangerous. Its likely related to the circulation in the area. However, its always good to get checked by a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Keep monitoring your cholesterol, and dont hesitate to ask your doctor for more tests if you continue to feel uncertain.

I'm a bit worried because my doctor said it's palpitation and my ECG came back normal. At the time, my heart rate was around 100 bpm, and they prescribed me medicine for 10 days. Now it's the fourth day, and I'm noticing my heart rate is sometimes above 100 or in the 90s, but when I wake up, it's around 80 or 78, and at night it's between 67 and 72 when I'm resting. How long do you think it'll take for my heart rate to stabilize back to normal? It's above 90 and sometimes even over 100 in the afternoon before it calms down.
The medication prescribed by your doctor is likely a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for heart palpitations is around 25-50mg twice daily. It may take a few weeks for the medication to fully regulate your heart rate. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed and follow up with your doctor for any concerns or adjustments to the treatment plan.

I've been noticing these small heart flutters and tiny head rushes almost every day in the early evening, and they're always really brief. I had an ECG about a year ago and everything seemed alright back then, but last night around 8 pm, I had a much more intense one while I was just sitting down, and it really caught me off guard. I'm an ex-smoker, keep myself decently fit with moderate exercise, and I'm not overweight. Should I be worried about this bigger episode, or could it be related to something specific?
