I'm really worried because my father has an LVEF of 35% as per his 2D echo report. I'm trying to figure out what kind of treatment he might need. Should we be considering an angiography? He hasn't had a heart attack and doesn't feel any chest pain. I did some reading and think maybe it's arrhythmia because about three years ago, he nearly fainted while cycling due to stress. Since then, he's been on medication for hypertension. Could you tell me what steps we should take next?

Since the patients LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 35.. indicates that he is having severe heart damage .. Some of the causes uncontrolled hypertension , heart muscle diseasesex cardiomyopathy, heart attack and heart valve issues..Angiography is needed since echo report reveals severe heart dysfunction.Treatment invoves ACE inhibitors ,calcium channel blockers and beta blockers..

View allI'm a 25-year-old male and have been having chest pain for the last three months, along with a pulling sensation in my left hand. I got ECG and TMT tests done two months ago, and they came back fine. But I still get this sudden sensation in my chest sometimes. My doctor mentioned it could be anxiety, and I'm really anxious about my health now. I've started yoga and meditation for the past couple of weeks, but the symptoms are still there. My palms and feet are sweating too, and the pain and pulling aren't constant. My blood pressure is normal, I don't have high cholesterol, and there's no family history of heart issues. What can I do to overcome this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thats clearly anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for a better treatment and counselling and also practice meditation and breathing excercises,take adequate rest and maintain healthy life style

I'm 30 years old and my blood pressure is 130100 with a pulse rate of 90. I've been experiencing palpitations constantly and it's making it hard for me to sleep due to anxiety. What could be causing this, and what steps can I take to address it?
Your blood pressure of 130100 is slightly elevated, and your pulse rate of 90 is also on the higher side. Feeling palpitations and having difficulty sleeping due to anxiety can be concerning. I recommend you start with lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and regular exercise. For your palpitations and anxiety, you can take Propranolol 10mg twice a day to help with both symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking Lorazepam 0.5mg at bedtime to help with sleep and anxiety. It's important to follow up with a healthcare provider before starting any medication.
