I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.

I'm experiencing this buzzing sensation on the left side of my chest that comes and goes quickly. It's been happening since yesterday. I know I might be anemic, but could this be because my hemoglobin levels are low?
The intermittent buzzing sensation in your left chest area could be related to various factors, including anxiety, stress, or cardiac issues, but it's unlikely directly caused by low hemoglobin (Hb) levels due to anemia; however, anemia can lead to heart palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness, so it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, including blood tests and possibly an ECG, to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.

I'm really worried about my 30-year-old son. He's been diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and I know his systolic function is at 68. His blood pressure is around 13090, and thankfully, he doesn't have diabetes or thyroid issues. I'm just trying to understand how we can manage or improve his diastolic dysfunction. What can we do for him?
