I'm a little concerned about my mom's recent chest x-ray report. It mentioned borderline cardiomegaly and she's been getting treatment for tuberculosis. What exactly does borderline cardiomegaly mean? Should we be worried about it? Is this a serious issue? If it is, can it be treated?

Question

I've been having left chest pain for the past two weeks and also feel this pulsating sensation in my stomach. I'm worried because I have high blood pressure too. Initially, I was thinking of getting a 2D echo for my chest pain, but now I'm wondering if I should also get a 2D scan for my abdomen to check on my abdominal aorta. Do you think that's necessary, or should I be considering a CT scan for my stomach instead? Any advice would be really helpful.

Question

I'm having some issues with my medication. I was prescribed Dytor 5 tablets because I have MVP and moderate MR, but every time I take them, I start feeling really drowsy, my hands turn reddish, and my heart starts pounding. Initially, my doctor advised one tablet daily, but when I mentioned these symptoms, he suggested increasing the dosage to 12 tablets a day. However, Im still feeling dizzy all the time. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? What should I do?

Question

I'm really concerned because my heart pumping has reduced to 30. Is it better to start on medication right away or should I consider other treatments? Also, could yoga be an effective option for dealing with this issue? I could really use some guidance on this.
