I'm experiencing some discomfort in the middle of my chest and around my rib cage after exercising. It's a mild pain, especially when I bend or do push-ups. It's not too bad, but it hasn't improved or gone away either. I'm getting a bit concerned. What could be causing this, and is it something I should worry about?

Question

So, I just got my Echo report and it says EF is 65 and there's something about Mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this means and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it a serious heart problem?

Question

I'm really concerned about my grandfather lately. He's been dealing with high blood pressure and hypertension, but now his feet are swelling and he's having chest pains too. He's currently taking gtn sorbitrate 2.6 cr twice a day and amlokind 10 mg, plus he uses a quikhale 250 sf inhaler. Could you help me understand why his feet might be swelling and suggest a medication that might help?

Question

I'm really worried about my heart, and it's been like this for almost a year now. I've had palpitations around 45 times, and I've done a couple of ECGs, echoes, chest X-rays, and a TMT about 8 months ago, but everything came back normal. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and I don't smoke or drink. There's no family history of heart problems either, but my BP is 140, and my LDL and total cholesterol are high at 140 and 192, respectively. The doctors say I shouldn't worry and just manage my BP and LDL, but I still can't shake off this fear of a heart attack. I often feel like I'm sinking or floating, and I get wobbly and fatigued when walking, sometimes even when I'm just resting. These feelings mostly hit me in the evenings, all the way until I go to sleep. I find myself worrying all the time, and there's just no joy or excitement in my day-to-day lifeit affects my ability to do daily activities. Can you help me figure out what's going on? Do you think I need any more tests, or is there something else I should be doing? What's causing all these issues?
