I'm a bit worried after my father's 2D echo report came back. It mentions "IVS jerky movement trace TR LVEF 50." Does this sound normal, or should I be concerned about anything specific?

Question

I've been feeling this annoying itchy sensation at the bottom of my heart, kind of towards the back, and it's been bugging me. I'm also always hungry and feeling this slight heartburn, which just adds to the discomfort. It's weird because I can't seem to breathe as deeply as I usually do. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried?

Question

My husband has been struggling with high cholesterol levels around 285 mgdL, even though he's been on a super healthy diet with lots of fruits, olive oil, vegetables, and pulses. The numbers haven't dropped much, staying between 250 to 285 over the last couple of months. He recently had kidney stones treated with endoscopy and medication, and now the cholesterol levels seemed to have increased. I'm getting worried; should we consider starting him on medication, or will sticking to the diet eventually help bring the cholesterol down? How long do we need to wait and see if the diet alone is effective? Also, could my father-in-law's heart surgery from 2 years ago be related or give us some clues on managing this better?

Question

I'm really concerned because my dad just had Angioplasty and Thrombosuction after he suffered a major heart attack last week. Now he's experiencing pain in the fingers of the hand that was used for the procedure. Has anyone seen this before, and what should we do about it?
