My dad had an angioplasty last month, and they put in a stent, but he's been feeling dizzy about 10 days afterward. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm really worried and not sure what to do next.

I've been having some strange symptoms lately when I masturbate or watch intimate scenes. My chest gets tight, it feels like there's a lump in my throat, and I have shortness of breath. I sometimes even feel light-headed with my heart racing. I've had heart and lung tests but everything came back normal. Do you have any idea what this might be?

Is there any way to reverse LVDD grade 2 with an MV EA ratio of 1.03 and mild LVH? What kind of steps or treatments could help improve this condition?

To help reverse left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) grade 2 and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), it is important to focus on lifestyle modifications and medications as per your doctor's recommendation. Some common approaches include: - ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg once daily - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily - Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. These interventions can help improve heart function and potentially reverse LVDD and LVH. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
