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 having some pain on the left side of my chest, it feels like a pinching sensation. Yesterday it got really bad, to the point where I couldn't breathe properly and felt really uneasy, almost like I was going to die. It seemed to get a bit better after taking a minute-long walk, but once I sat down, the pain came back. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

gastritis take oantop 40mg

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with dizziness and lightheadedness for about three weeks now, and on top of that, I've had chest and shoulder pain for the past 45 days. Could these symptoms be related? I'm really anxious about whether this might be a heart issue. What do you think?

The symptoms you are experiencing, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, and shoulder pain, could be related to a heart problem. It is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg for chest pain and Clopidogrel 75mg for heart protection. Additionally, you may require further evaluation and tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or cardiac enzymes to determine the cause of your symptoms and the appropriate treatment.

I'm really concerned about my husband who's 41 years old. He's been experiencing some pain on the left side of his chest every now and then, but when we did an ECG and an X-ray, everything came back normal. He weighs about 78 kg. Should I be worried even though the tests are normal? What else could be causing this pain?

gastritis rule out.
