I've been having this weird pain, like in my heart and behind it, and it's been slowly moving to my shoulder. Now my mouth is super dry and I'm even feeling some pain near the top part of my left arm, right above my heart. What could this mean? Should I be worried about these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take a tablet of aspirin (325mg) to help thin the blood and reduce the risk of further complications. Call emergency services or go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment.

View allI took an ECG and 2D Echo test today and got some numbers that are worrying me a bit. My EDV is 83ml, ESV is 28ml, and SV is 55ml, which apparently are below normal. Also, my IVSs ivsd LVPWD measurements were on the higher end of normal limits. Is this something I should be concerned about?
The values of EDV (End-Diastolic Volume), ESV (End-Systolic Volume), and SV (Stroke Volume) from your 2D Echo test indicate that your heart's pumping function may be below normal. The IVSs (Interventricular Septum thickness in systole), IVSd (Interventricular Septum thickness in diastole), and LVPWD (Left Ventricular Posterior Wall thickness in diastole) being on the higher end of normal limits may suggest some thickening of the heart walls. Based on these findings, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, they may recommend medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril or Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help improve your heart function. The dosage will vary based on your individual condition, so please consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

I'm dealing with mitral stenosis and had a balloon mitral valvotomy about two years ago. I'm really anxious to know about my life expectancy now. I've attached my ECG and echo results. Could you help me understand what to expect going forward?
"Based on your history of mitral stenosis and previous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) done 2 years ago, your life expectancy can vary depending on various factors such as the severity of the stenosis, your overall health, and any other underlying medical conditions. It is important to regularly follow up with your cardiologist for monitoring and management. For mitral stenosis, medications such as diuretics, beta-blockers, and anticoagulants may be prescribed to manage symptoms and prevent complications. In some cases, surgical intervention or another BMV procedure may be recommended. Without reviewing your specific ECG and echo results, I cannot provide a precise estimate of your life expectancy. It is best to discuss this question with your cardiologist who has access to your complete medical history and test results."
