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?

I'm worried because my homocysteine levels are really high, like around 58.9, but my blood pressure is normal and I don't have diabetes. What steps should I take or things should I consider at this point?

High homocysteine levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take a combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. I recommend taking a tablet of Fol-5 Plus once daily, which contains the appropriate combination of these vitamins to help lower homocysteine levels. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise can also help in reducing homocysteine levels.

I've been dealing with chest pain for about 8 months now, and even though I got checked out, they didnt find any issues with my heart. I tried taking Myospaz and Pan 40 for a week, but it didnt really help. The pain just keeps coming back regularly. What should I do next?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient. Syrup sucralfate 10 ml orally ,thrice daily for 14 days and tab pan d ,before food for 14 days is also advised to the pt.
