I'm really worried about my mom. Her recent reports showed that her heart's LVEF is just 18. Could you suggest ways to increase it? Shes between 18 to 60 years old. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I want to understand if digital blood pressure machines are reliable. Lately, my readings are often above 14090, though sometimes they drop lower. Should I trust these numbers, or do you think I need to check in with a doctor?

digital blood pressure machines are generally accurate if used correctly. However, it is important to ensure that you are using the machine properly, such as positioning the cuff at heart level and following the instructions provided with the device. Variations in blood pressure readings can occur due to factors like stress, caffeine intake, or even the time of day. If you consistently see readings above 14090, it is advisable to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In case of high blood pressure, medications like Losartan 50mg or Amlodipine 5mg may be prescribed to help manage it."

My dad experienced some chest pain and his blood pressure was pretty high last night, so we decided to get an ECG done this morning. The results are in, and they mention something about a non-specific T wave abnormality. I'm trying to figure out what that means exactly. Any chance you could help us understand this a bit better?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm hoping to put on some weight by doing heavy weight lifting exercises, but I've been worried about my echo report from last October. It was just a routine checkup, and I'm completely fit, feeling fine, and have no issues. I do brisk walking for 45 minutes daily without any problems. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a mitral valve prolapse or if mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation is a concern. Could you advise me on how much weight I can safely lift given this condition? I've attached my report below.

Moderate weight lifting is advised.
