What does it mean if my ECG report says I have lateral wall ischemia? Should I be worried about how severe this is? I'd really like to understand what this implies for my heart health.

View allI'm a bit confused about my recent 2D echo test results. My LVEF was 60 last year, but now it's dropped to 56. The cardiologist said that's normal, but I'm doing intense exercise like jogging, so I would've thought it might increase. Should I be worried, or do you think I need any additional tests? I'm 183 cm tall and weigh 83 kg.
In your case, the decrease in LVEF from 60% to 56% may not necessarily be a cause for concern, especially if your cardiologist has deemed it normal. It's important to consider that LVEF can vary slightly between tests due to factors like hydration status, timing of the test, and even the technician performing the test. However, since you are engaging in intense exercise like jogging, it's good to monitor any changes in your heart function. To support your heart health while engaging in intense exercise, you can consider taking Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements. CoQ10 can help improve heart function and provide antioxidant support. You can take CoQ10 at a dosage of 100-200mg per day. Additionally, it may be beneficial to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet or as a supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and support overall heart health. Aim for a daily dosage of 1000-2000mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. Remember to stay hydrated during your exercise routine and listen to your body for any signs of overexertion. If you experience any concerning symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, consult with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

I've been noticing this weird pain in the upper left side of my chest, especially when I yawn. It's not constant, but more annoying in the mornings. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it? Any advice would be appreciated.
The intermittent chest pain in your left upper chest, particularly when yawning, could be related to musculoskeletal issues, such as costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone) or intercostal muscle strain; however, to rule out cardiac or pulmonary causes, consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly a chest X-ray or stress test.

I'm 32 and I noticed my heart rate hit 140 before I was even stressed, and during the second and third stages, it jumped up to between 190 and 202. My ECG came back normal otherwise. Should I be worried that this is risky for my heart or something serious? Is it possible for it to get back to normal with medication? Could this kind of change shorten the life of my heart? What kind of treatment or solution should I be looking into?
The ultrasound report indicates a PCO (Polycystic Ovary) pattern in both ovaries. This means multiple small cysts are present, a common finding in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). No abnormal solid or cystic lesions were detected, which is reassuring. Ovarian size is within normal range (33x18mm). Consult a gynecologist to discuss the report and determine next steps. Further evaluation may be necessary to confirm or rule out PCOS.
