I'm really worried because I'm 26 and I've been having some heart pain, shortness of breath, and light dizziness. My lipid profile is normal, but my 2D Echo showed a Left ventricle size of 4.0 x 3.0 cm, IVSD 0.8 cm, LVPW 0.8 cm, EF 47, and FS 23. Everything else seemed normal. Is this something I should be really concerned about? Is it fixable, and can I get back to my normal life? I'm feeling scared and unsure about what steps to take.

Based on your symptoms and the findings from your 2D Echo, it is important to further evaluate your condition. The slight heart pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness could be indicative of a cardiac issue. With an EF of 47% and FS of 23%, there may be some impairment in your heart's pumping function. To address this, you may benefit from medication to improve your heart function and symptoms. I recommend starting with a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50 mg once daily) to help reduce your heart's workload and improve its efficiency. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Enalapril (5-10 mg once daily) can also be beneficial in improving heart function. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also crucial in improving your heart health. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes, many individuals can lead a normal life with cardiac conditions. Remember, early detection and management are key in addressing any potential heart issues. Take care and follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized care and guidance

View allI'm experiencing a bit of chest pressure both in the mornings when I wake up and again at night. It's starting to really worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm genuinely concerned.
A small chest pressure in the morning and at night could be due to acid reflux or heartburn. I would recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed after meals and before bedtime. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Potassium reduces the effect of sodium on the body. Hence, eating bananas lower blood pressure due to their high potassium content.
