You must be evaluated and started on medications appropriately. Do some lifestyle modifications too such as low salt diet, physical activity daily and quit smoking, alcohol.

Question

My dad is 54 and started having heart issues about 7 years ago. He's been on medication, but since last year, his ejection fraction dropped first to 38 and now it's at 42. What can we do to help improve his ejection fraction? I'm really worried.

Question

I'm really confused and could use some advice. Are Atchol 20 and Lipicard AV the same thing or do they have different functions? I've been on Lipicard AV for 7 months and I'm wondering if I can switch to Atchol 20 now. Can you help me out?

Question

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?
