I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

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.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure. Are there any known cases of curing essential hypertension? It seems like my sympathetic nervous system is always in overdrive, causing my body to jump into fight or flight mode for no reason. There's no sign of any tumors on my pituitary or adrenal glands, and all my blood tests and ECGs have come back normal. Is it possible to permanently fix this by getting my sympathetic nervous system back to normal?
While essential hypertension may not be "cured" in the traditional sense, it can be effectively managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, stress management, and medication. Working with a healthcare professional to optimize treatment, including controlling SNS overactivity, is important to help manage your blood pressure and prevent complications.
