I've been experiencing heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and feeling lightheaded since Sunday. I've also gained a bit of weight and recently had an argument with my husband. I have PCOS and I'm currently taking metformin. Could these symptoms be related to my condition or medication? Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or a possible cardiac issue. Given your history of PCOS and current medication, metformin, it is important to consider any potential interactions. I recommend you to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, to help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial. Remember to prioritize self-care and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen or persist.

View allWhat does left ventricle preponderance mean? My dad got diagnosed with it and sometimes he experiences blackouts and shortness of breath, plus his blood pressure drops really low. Could all these be connected? What should we be doing about it?
Left Ventricular Preponderance might be an indication of structural changes or function issues in the heart. It could be associated with other heart conditions that affect the efficiency of the left ventricle. The symptoms your father is experiencing, including blackouts, shortness of breath, and low blood pressure, warrant further evaluation and management by a cardiologist. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help in managing his condition and preventing complications.

I've had an Acute MI back in January 2019, and they did angioplasty within two days of the attack. Right now, I'm taking Vymada 59, Ecosprin 75, Brilinta 90, Eptus T 2510, Atocor 40, and Seloken XL 50. Everything's been mostly fine, but I do sometimes get breathless, have palpitations, feel dizzy, and even experience less alertness. I'm really curious about a few things: - What's the likelihood that my ejection fraction will increase? - How long can I expect to live with my condition and current treatment? - Are there any known long-term side effects of these medications on other parts of the body, and how can I minimize any negative effects? - My doctor mentioned considering an AICD. Would that help improve my ejection fraction? - What are some potential downsides to getting an AICD?

I'm looking over my brother's medical report, and I'm curious about his high sensitive troponin I levelit came back as 0.05. Is this something to worry about? Can you help me understand if this is within a normal range or if there might be cause for concern?
High sensitive troponin I level of 0.05 ngmL is within the normal range. Troponin levels are often used to diagnose heart attacks or other heart-related conditions. In this case, the level of 0.05 ngmL is not concerning and does not indicate any acute heart issues. It is important to consider other factors and symptoms in conjunction with this result for a comprehensive evaluation. If your brother is experiencing any symptoms or concerns, it is recommended to follow up with his healthcare provider for further assessment and guidance.
