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?

I've been really worried lately because my family and I just recovered from covid, but I've been having these weird symptoms. My chest hurts a bit, not too bad, but enough to notice, and my fingers and toes feel cold. I'm 18 and female, and the doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. But I can't help worrying that it could be something serious like a heart attack. How can I stop being so anxious about this?
Yes that could be anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management
