I'm really worried about my mom who's 68. She's been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and has an overall LVEF of 50-50. They also mentioned grade diastolic dysfunction. I'm just trying to understand, is this something serious that we need to be concerned about?

View allI'm experiencing some pain in my hand after the angiogram test. Could you let me know what might help ease it? Im a bit worried about why this is happening.
After an angiogram test, it is common to experience some pain or discomfort at the site where the procedure was done. To help reduce the pain in your hand, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can help reduce swelling and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia since 2012 and it's been pretty frustrating. I've done all sorts of tests and nothing seems to be working out. It's especially annoying with the tachycardia because whenever I start on medication, it works for a bit, then just stops being effective after a while. Right now, I'm taking a mix of meds including metoprolol 150mg (50mg three times a day), ntp 25mg, prazosin 5mg, diltiazem 90 Sr, cilnidipine 10mg, and losartan 50mg among others. This whole situation is starting to feel a bit hopeless. I'm curious if there's anything else I should be trying, or if there's some reason these meds lose effectiveness so quickly. Any insight you could give would be really appreciated.

I'm experiencing a mild pain on the left side of my chest, and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could you recommend a medicine that might help? If it doesn't get better, I'm thinking of coming in for a check-up and more treatment. What do you suggest?
I recommend taking Acetaminophen 500mg for your mild chest pain on the left side. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.
