I've just turned 17, and I'm trying to understand my lvef count, which is at 75. Is this something normal for someone my age? Any insights you could share would be really helpful because I'm a bit concerned.

An ejection fraction (EF) of 75% is considered normal and indicates good heart function. There is no need to worry about this result. Just continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

I'm a 36-year-old unmarried woman with a slim build and usually pretty active, but lately due to lockdown, Ive been sitting and working a lot. Today, I decided to do some cleaning, like mopping and sweeping, and afterwards, I started having really strong palpitations and felt restless, especially around my neck where the carotid artery is. I'm still experiencing palpitations with any physical work and feel a bit breathless because of them. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, but after looking it up online, Im worried it might be a heart attack. My citys still in lockdown, so I cant visit a doctor, and I'm scared something serious is going on. Can you advise on what might be happening and what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing palpitations and restlessness after doing physical work. These symptoms can be concerning, but it is important not to jump to conclusions like a heart attack without proper evaluation. It is possible that the increased physical activity after a period of inactivity is causing these symptoms. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a rest and lying down in a comfortable position. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid any stimulants like caffeine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you can take a tablet of propranolol 10mg for palpitations. However, if you continue to feel unwell or if the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention. I would recommend monitoring your symptoms closely and if they continue or worsen, please seek medical help as soon as possible

I'm really worried about a condition I've heard of, the left bundle branch block, and I'm trying to understand what it means for someone who's 55, female, with high sugar levels and blood pressure. Is it normal that there's no chest pain or dizziness with this, or should we be concerned about that? Just trying to wrap my head around what steps to take next or if it's worse than it seems.
Left bundle branch block in a 55-year-old female with high sugar level and blood pressure, but no chest pain or dizziness can be managed by controlling the underlying conditions. It is important to monitor her heart health regularly. I would recommend starting her on a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate her heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, she should be prescribed an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril (10-20mg) to manage her blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a cardiologist is essential in this case.
