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 a bit concerned because I had a PTCA procedure about 14 months ago. Now, my doctor is suggesting I stop taking Axcer 90 mg twice daily for 5 days and just stick with Ecosprin 75 mg once a day. This is supposed to be for a CT-guided biopsy because I've got multiple lymph nodes in my abdomen. Is this safe, and should I be worried about any risks with stopping Axcer?
yes.

Ive been getting this warm sensation near my left ribs and just below my breast lately. I went for a master checkup and had an ECG and 2D Echo done, and everything came back normal. But I couldn't do the TMT test because of an ACL ligament tear, so walking on the treadmill isn't an option for me. Do you think I need the TMT or any other tests to make sure it's not a heart issue?
Since your ECG and 2D Echo reports are normal, it is less likely that the heat feeling near your left ribs and below your breast is related to a heart issue. However, considering your symptoms, it may still be beneficial to undergo further testing to rule out any other potential causes. One option could be a CT scan or MRI to evaluate the area near your left ribs and below your breast for any abnormalities. Additionally, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may also be helpful to assess for any gastrointestinal issues that could be causing your symptoms.

I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?
take a tablet zerodol
