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 allCan you explain how to tell the difference between left arm pain caused by cervical issues and pain that's related to heart problems? I'm experiencing this dull, minor pain in my left arm that comes and goes, but I don't have any other symptoms like chest pain or lightheadedness. Could you give me some insight on this?
This type of pain may be accompanied by neck pain or stiffness. To manage this, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like Voltaren Gel on the affected area. If the pain persists, consult a doctor for further evaluation. Left arm pain due to heart issues, on the other hand, is often a symptom of a heart attack or angina. Since you mentioned no chest pain or lightheadedness, it is less likely to be related to the heart. However, if you have concerns about your heart health, you can take a low dose of aspirin (81mg) as a precaution and seek medical attention immediately if the pain worsens or is accompanied by other symptoms like chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or nausea.

I've been feeling really nervous lately, and my heart starts beating really fast. Sometimes it even feels like there's a tremor in my heart. I'm really worried that my heart might be weak. Can you suggest any treatments or advice to help me with this heart issue?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as fast heart rate and tremors. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness meditation can also be helpful in managing anxiety symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
