I'm really concerned about my father's heart condition. His report says the LVEF is 25, which I read somewhere is quite low, and theres mention of severe LV systolic dysfunction. The terms like "Grade mitral regurgitation" and "moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension" caught my attention. Can you help me understand what all this means? Also, what should we be doing next to manage or improve his heart health?

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad's blood pressure. He's been dealing with high BP for a while, but it was stable and normal the past few days. Today it shot up to 153110 and he took his usual Tazlock 20, which has Telmisartan IP in it. Is this something we should be really worried about and what steps should we take from here?

Question

I'm curious if I should be concerned about my heart that starts pounding after I climb stairs, run, or even just fast walk. It also happens if I get up too quickly from lying down. I've done all the blood tests and an ECG as my doctor suggested, and everything came back normal. Is there something I should worry about?

Question

I'm really confused about what's going on with my health. My ECG came out normal, but I've been wondering if I should get a Stress ECG or maybe a Stress ECHO done instead. I've been on Petril Beta 10 twice a day for anxiety for about four months now, but for the past month, I've been getting dizzy, and it's worse when I'm around loud noises or music. My parents think its just anxiety because that's what the local doctor said, but there are times when I feel breathless, like I'm not getting enough air. I had an ECG, ECHO, and Stress ECG along with some blood tests done back on June 30, and the doctors said everything is fine. Its been around 6.5 months of treatment and I'm still not feeling as healthy as before, which is worrying me a lot. Plus, for the past couple of months, I've had this dry cough that just comes and goes. I really need some advice on how to figure out what's going on.
