Question 1

I'm really worried after getting my recent heart test results. It mentioned ischemic heart disease and moderate LV systolic dysfunction with an LVEF of 44. There was also something about RWMA being present and hypokinesia in the LCX territory. What does all that really mean for my heart health? How serious is this, and what should I be doing next?

Accepted Answer

Ischemic heart disease with moderate LV systolic dysfunction, LVEF 44%, and RWMA present along with hypokinesia seen in the LCX territory can be managed with medications such as: - Aspirin 75-150mg daily - Clopidogrel 75mg daily - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25-50mg twice daily - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 2.5-5mg daily - Statins like Atorvastatin 20-40mg daily These medications can help improve heart function and reduce the risk of further complications.

Question 3

I've noticed that my left leg and arm seem to go numb pretty often when I'm sleeping. It happens more on the left side, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Also, during sex, I've felt like my heart is somewhat heavier than usual. I'm just curious ...

Accepted Answer

My left leg and left arm get numb more frequently while sleeping. This could be due to poor blood circulation or nerve compression. I recommend trying Vitamin B complex supplements to improve nerve health. Additionally, consider using a magnesium supplement to help with muscle relaxation and blood flow. For the feeling of a heavier heart during sex, it is important to monitor your heart health. I suggest taking low-dose aspirin daily to help with blood flow and consulting a cardiologist for further evaluation.

Question 4

I'm dealing with this chest pain for the last couple of months, and I've already checked in with a gastric specialist and taken some gas meds. Even had an ECG done and that seemed fine. But I'm still feeling this pain when I move around or lift stuff...

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, it is possible that your chest pain is indeed related to chest muscle pain. To help relieve the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant such as methocarbamol to help relax the chest muscles and alleviate the pain. It is also important to rest the affected area and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
