I've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiologist or maybe an orthopedic doctor? It's really starting to worry me, and I'd appreciate some advice on the next steps.

View allMy mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 years old and his recent 2D echo report showed an LVEF of 50 percent, no MR, no TR, and a paradoxical IVS. How serious is this situation and is there anything we can do to improve it? Should we be thinking about getting more tests done?
My father 73 years old his 2Decho report says LVEF 50 percent, no MR no TR, paradoxical IVS. How critical it and and how it can be improved. Any further investigation required? LVEF of 50% indicates a slightly reduced heart function, which may increase the risk of heart-related issues. The paradoxical IVS refers to an abnormal movement of the interventricular septum during the cardiac cycle. To improve the condition and prevent further complications, medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg daily and beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg daily can be prescribed. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can help. Further investigation may include a stress test or coronary angiography to assess coronary artery disease.
