I'm really concerned about my sister's ultrasound report. It shows she has dilated cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an EF of 33. She's also got severe pulmonary artery hypertension and an RVSP of 78 mmHg. The doctor mentioned there's no surgery option. Can you shed some light on what treatment options might be available for her situation?

As her ejection fraction is low she is not fit for surgery and needs to be on medications and absolute bed rest untill EF improves,follow your doctors advice

Question

I've been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, right around my heart, and I'm also having a lot of burping, indigestion, and gas issues. I'm trying to figure out if this is something to do with my heart or maybe it's just my stomach acting up. What kind of doctor should I see for this?

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He had a bypass surgery back in 2007, even though he hadn't had a heart attack. He's been doing well all these years, just keeping up with his regular meds and walking routines. He's also been managing diabetes for the last 35 years. I'm wondering, is it okay for him to start swimming now? Do you think it'd be safe for him given his medical history?

Question

My mom's blood pressure is reading 10090, and the doctor told her to take Losar 50. Should she take it in the morning or at night? A couple of months ago, she was on Amlodipine 5, but she'd stop when her blood pressure looked normal. Is that okay, or should she stick with the medication even if she feels better?
