I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

View allI'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.
Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.

I've been prescribed Telma 20 for my blood pressure, and I'm wondering if that's the lowest dose available? Are there any other medications with a lower dosage than Telma 20? I'm also curious about how effective it is and if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Could you help me understand this better?
Telma 20 (Telmisartan) is a common blood pressure medication, and while there are lower doses available, Telma 20 is generally considered effective for managing high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels. Side effects may include dizziness, headaches, or gastrointestinal issues, though many people tolerate it well. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
