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?

I'm feeling really worried because I've been having these sharp chest pains, especially on the left side when I breathe heavily. Sometimes it comes with a really bad headache and neck pain, plus I'm getting breathless a lot. My throat feels sore too, and I just can't seem to relax or focus at work anymore. I get tired really fast and all my energy just drains away. I spoke to my family doctor, but he just said it's work stress and my eating habits causing gastric issues. I'm not sure that's all it is. Do you think there's something more going on that I should be looking into?
gastritis one cause and do ECG to rule out heart problem

I've been monitoring my blood pressure, and it's currently at 165108. I'm already on amlodipine 5 mg. I'm 57 years old, so I'm wondering what you would recommend for my situation. Should I consider adjusting my medication or adding something new?
At your age of 57 with a blood pressure of 165108, in addition to amlodipine 5mg, I would recommend adding a medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help further control your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any adjustments in your treatment plan.
