My dad used to have really good stamina, but lately, he seems to get super tired and starts breathing heavily even after just a little bit of work. What could be going on with him? Should we be worried about this sudden change?

I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

I've had a permanent pacemaker for over three and a half years now. My health has been really great lately, and I'm feeling fit and fine. I'm curious to know if there's any possibility of getting the pacemaker removed at this point.

I'm glad to hear that your health is good. The decision to remove a permanent pacemaker is based on individual circumstances and should be discussed with your cardiologist. If your heart condition has improved significantly and no longer requires the pacemaker, it may be possible to have it removed. However, this decision should only be made after thorough evaluation and consultation with your cardiologist.

I'm a bit confused and worried after seeing my recent health checkup report. It mentions Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but everything else like chamber dimension, RWMA, and LV systolic function looks normal. The report also notes trivial MR and TR, with no PAH, clot, or vegetation, and my EF is 70. Can you help me understand what Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction really means and if there's anything I should do about it?

grade 1 diastolic dysfunction could be due to hypertension , electrolyte imbalance and due to ischaemic heart disease.Salt restricted diet and DASH diet is advised.Also regular aerobic exercises is advised..Alcohol and cessation of smoking is advised
