I'm really worried about this situation where someone feels tired and uneasy in their chest after walking a short distance. Even though all the medical tests like the blood sugar, ECG, and X-ray came back normal, they still need to rest before they can keep going. What could be causing this, and what should we do next?

It sounds like your symptoms could be related to angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Since your check-up results were normal, it's important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your doctor if they persist or worsen. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like Aspirin 75mg once daily to help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of blood clots. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be taken as needed for chest pain relief (0.4mg every 5 minutes, up to 3 doses). Remember to always carry your nitroglycerin with you in case of emergency. If your symptoms continue, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

I'm really worried about my dad. His heart's ejection fraction is only 20, and the doctor mentioned that means his heart's power is at 20. He's been on medication for the last three months, but I'm curious to know what kind of treatment might be next. Also, are there any specific precautions he should be taking right now? I'm just trying to figure out how to best support him through this.

Ejection fraction of the heart is very low , causes would be heart attack,cardiomyopathy,coronary artery disease, high blood pressure,aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitatin,myocarditis,arrhythmia etc , u can continue the same medications . An echocardiogram is advised and a cardiac opinion.

I'm experiencing something concerning and hoping for some guidance. Every morning when I wake up, or even when I'm just lying in bed, my whole body starts to vibrate. It's like I can feel my heart beating really fast, almost like a hammer inside me. This is pretty unsettling. Any idea what's happening or what steps I should take?
