I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

View allI'm a 56-year-old guy, weighing 83 kg, and after 10 months of taking rosuvastatin, my LDL cholesterol is now 68 mgdL. I'm also dealing with hypertension and diabetes, taking metformin 500 mg and Ramipril 2.5 mg, as well as aspirin and metoprolol succinate 25 mg. I haven't done an angiography yet. Given that I'm on all these medications, what should my next steps be to improve my health?
Based on your medical history and current medications, it is important to address your mildly positive TMT (Treadmill Test) result and the fact that you have not undergone angiography yet. To further improve your cardiovascular health and assess the status of your coronary arteries, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a more detailed evaluation. The cardiologist may recommend undergoing a coronary angiography to visualize any blockages in your coronary arteries and determine the best course of action. In the meantime, continue with your current medications: - Rosuvastatin for cholesterol management - Aspirin for antiplatelet effects - Metoprolol succinate for blood pressure control - Ramipril for blood pressure control - Metformin for diabetes management Ensure that you are following a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management. It is also essential to monitor your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels regularly. If you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are crucial for ongoing management and monitoring of your conditions.

My dad had an angioplasty about six months ago, and now his ECG is showing mild left ventricular hypertrophy. I'm kind of worriedis this something serious? Should we be looking into any treatments for this?
Mild left ventricular hypertrophy can be a sign of an underlying heart condition, but it is not always serious on its own. Treatment may involve managing any underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease. Medications like Lisinopril (10mg daily) or Losartan (50mg daily) may be prescribed to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?
