I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

I'm a bit concerned about my echocardiography results. It mentions "Grade I LV diastolic dysfunction" and "Trace AR." Can you explain what these mean? Like, how serious is this, and what should I be thinking about or doing next?

Grade I diastolic dysfunction means there is mild impairment in the relaxation of the left ventricle. As for trace aortic regurgitation, it indicates a small amount of blood leaking back into the heart's left ventricle during the relaxation phase. For Grade I LV diastolic dysfunction, you may be prescribed medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help with blood pressure control and heart function. For trace AR, you may not need any specific treatment but regular monitoring by your healthcare provider is recommended.

I've been having these heart palpitations lately, and honestly, they really freak me out. I saw a doctor and felt better for a while, but it seems like they still happen about once a month. The last episode was pretty intenseI was just sleeping, and suddenly it felt like my heart was racing around 200 beats per minute, maybe even more. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Hlo Sriram, it sounds like you are experiencing episodes of tachycardia, where your heart beats very fast. This can be concerning and may require further evaluation. One possible medication that can be prescribed for such episodes is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25-50mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
