I'm really worried because I've heard that heart attack symptoms in women can be different from what men experience. Can you explain what signs I should be looking out for? And how can I tell if chest pain is from a heart attack or just something else? Its been on my mind lately, and I'd love some clarity.

My dad's heart is only pumping at 19% capacity, and I'm really worried about him. He's also been dealing with diabetes and recently had some edema issues. Is there anything we can do to help improve his heart function?

I recommend that your father's condition be managed with medications such as Carvedilol (Coreg) to help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. Additionally, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with the edema by reducing fluid retention. It is important to closely monitor his diabetes as well to keep his blood sugar levels under control. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications can also help improve heart function.

I'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Yes its is due to fluctating tsh levels. U may repeat angio after 6 months.

I'm really concerned about my dad's blood pressure. He's been dealing with high BP for a while, but it was stable and normal the past few days. Today it shot up to 153110 and he took his usual Tazlock 20, which has Telmisartan IP in it. Is this something we should be really worried about and what steps should we take from here?

yes you can use
