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.

View allI'm having these weird experiences when I'm about to fall asleep, like when I'm in that transition phase. It's like I feel this single, really strong heartbeat that kind of moves my whole body. Its kind of freaking me out. Ive attached my ECG can you help me figure out whats going on with this?
it could be due to a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). This is when the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) contract earlier than normal, causing an extra, abnormal heartbeat. It may feel like a strong thump in your chest. Based on the ECG you provided, it confirms the presence of PVCs. To manage this condition, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the occurrence of PVCs. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm feeling really anxious today because after taking Bromelain this morning, my blood pressure machine has been showing an irregular heartbeat consistently. My BP reading is 133 over 80, and my heart rate is 71. I'm not sure if this is serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. Any insights on what I should do?
Bromelain is a natural supplement derived from pineapples that may cause side effects such as irregular heartbeat in some individuals. Since you are experiencing this symptom along with uncertainty, it is advisable to seek medical attention. You can take 25mg of Metoprolol to help regulate your heartbeat. If the irregular heartbeat persists or worsens, please visit the hospital for further evaluation and management.
