I've been feeling really worn out and having a hard time sleeping because of my breathing troubles. I recently found out my ejection fraction is at 40. I'm super worried about it and want to know what I can do to feel better and improve my situation. Any advice on how to handle this?

View allMy mom's in the hospital with what's been diagnosed as an MUI heart attack. The doc's saying there's two blockages: one in the LAD that's 80% and another in the LCX at 99%. They've recommended doing angioplasty twicefirst for the LCX, then for the LAD. Is it really necessary to go through the procedure twice? Would love some advice on this.
In cases where multiple coronary arteries have significant blockages, it is not uncommon for doctors to perform angioplasty on separate occasions to address each blockage individually. This approach allows for better management of the procedure and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider in this situation. The doctor may recommend starting with the LCX artery due to the higher percentage of blockage before proceeding to the LAD artery. The specific medications and dosages will be determined by the healthcare team based on your mother's individual condition.

I've been noticing that when I'm lying down, I can hear my heartbeat clearly, and it's even visible through my shirt and in my stomach area. At night, while trying to fall asleep, I sometimes feel a sense of fear in my chest and stomach. What could be causing this?
These symptoms could be due to anxiety or stress, which can cause palpitations (feeling of heart beating fast or irregularly), visible pulsations in the abdomen, and a sensation of fear or unease in the chest and stomach. It is important to manage stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques, exercise, and possibly counseling. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker like Propranolol 20mg to help reduce palpitations and visible pulsations. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
