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 allI'm experiencing some issues and I'm really worried. Whenever I masturbate during the day, my heart starts pounding really loudly afterwards. And then at night, I feel this burning sensation in my chest and it's so hard to breathe. It's okay during the day but when night comes, it feels really difficult to breathe. I just want to feel healthy and I'm scared something might be really wrong. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried about my aunt who's dealing with hypertension. Her blood pressure was really high at 190110 during her echo testing. The echo report mentioned things like AO 30mm, LA 40mm, EF 60%, and LVIDd 40mm, among others. She was diagnosed with CVH and grade 1 LVDD. I've heard CVH can be reversible with long-term control of blood pressure. The doctor has prescribed meds, and now her BP is down to 13185. I'm just trying to understand if her condition is mild, moderate, or severe. Can you help me make sense of all this?
Based on the information provided, your aunt's CVH (Cardiovascular Hypertension) condition is concerning due to her high blood pressure of 190110. However, with proper management and the prescribed blood pressure tablets, her current blood pressure of 13185 is within a better range. To help control her blood pressure and potentially improve her CVH, the doctor may have prescribed medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to be taken daily. These medications can help lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on the heart. In terms of the severity of her CVH, it is considered mild at this stage with grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction). With continued management of her blood pressure and overall health, there is a possibility that the CVH can be reversible over time. Remember to monitor her blood pressure regularly, take the prescribed medications as directed, follow a healthy lifestyle, and attend follow-up appointments with her doctor for further evaluation and management of her condition.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressureit seems to be all over the place. Sometimes its normal, but other times it spikes. Im trying to understand what my true blood pressure level is. How can I get an accurate diagnosis for this?
To diagnose the correct exact blood pressure level, you can monitor your blood pressure regularly at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. Make sure to follow these steps: 1. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure. 2. Place the cuff on your bare upper arm at heart level. 3. Take two or three readings, 1 minute apart, in the morning before taking any medications and in the evening before dinner. 4. Record the date, time, and blood pressure readings. 5. Share this record with your doctor for proper evaluation and management. If your blood pressure continues to fluctuate, your doctor may recommend further evaluation or prescribe antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine (Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure.
