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 feeling really confused right now. My ECG showed something called inferolateral ischemia, but then both my TMT and 2D echo tests came back normal. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's making me anxious. On top of that, my cholesterol and triglycerides levels are over 240.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure lately. My 2D echo showed concentric LVH with an EF of 60 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I've been on medication since September, taking one tablet in the morning and two at night. Initially, my BP seemed stable, but now in December, it's been fluctuating a lot. Previously, it was around 12082 to 12585 in the morning and 13585 to 13882 in the afternoon. But now, I'm seeing readings like 14090 in the morning and 14894 in the afternoon. I'm active, so what's causing these changes in winter? How should I take care of my BP during this season?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially with your medical history of Concentric LVH and diastolic dysfunction. Considering your situation, I would recommend adding or adjusting your current medication regimen to better control your blood pressure during the winter season. You can discuss with your doctor about adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5mg in the morning and a combination of Valsartan 80mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg in the evening. This can help in better blood pressure control throughout the day. In addition to medication, it is also important to make lifestyle modifications to help manage your blood pressure. This includes reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to fluctuate with the change in seasons, but with the right medication and lifestyle adjustments, you can better manage your blood pressure even during the winter months. Make sure to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any further adjustments needed."
