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've been having some chest pain for the last few days and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable and along with the chest pain, I get this ache in my arm joint or at the back of my neck, and it's just getting worse at times. The pain tends to last for a few hours. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. In such cases, it is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. Common medications prescribed for angina include: - Nitroglycerin: 0.4mg sublingual tablet, to be taken as needed for chest pain - Aspirin: 81mg to 325mg daily, to help prevent blood clots - Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol): Dosage varies, to help reduce heart rate and blood pressure - Calcium channel blockers (e.g. Amlodipine): Dosage varies, to help relax blood vessels It is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some palpitations, breathlessness, and dizziness, even without pushing myself too hard physically. I had an echocardiogram, and it turns out I have mitral valve prolapse with just mild mitral regurgitation. Is it usual to have these symptoms with only mild regurgitation? Also, it's been tough not being active, and I've dropped to an underweight level. To top it off, I've been experiencing erectile dysfunction. Could this be linked to the mitral valve prolapse?
