After reviewing my mother-in-law's recent ECG, it shows something called Concentric LVH with Diastolic dysfunction Type 1. She's 54 years old, and I'm really concerned about whether this is something serious. Can this condition be treated with medication, or is heart surgery necessary? Looking for some guidance here.

I'm dealing with a right bundle branch block and experiencing some head dizziness that just won't go away. It's been really hard to focus at work because of these syncope episodes. Do you have any advice or remedies that might help with this?
It's important to address the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, to help manage your dizziness, you can try taking Betahistine (brand name: Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce dizziness. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, avoid sudden movements, and consider wearing compression stockings to improve blood flow. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical evaluation.

I'm starting to feel my pulse all over my body and it's been like this for about two weeks. I notice it in different places like my feet when I'm lying down and sometimes in my thighs, arms, and even my wrists and fingers. I can actually count the pulse without touching it, like it's happening one spot at a time. Is this something I should be worried about or could it be something serious?
This sensation of feeling a pulse in different parts of your body is known as palpitations. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or hormonal changes. However, if this symptom persists and is accompanied by other symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your caffeine intake, stay hydrated, and practice stress-reducing techniques. If the palpitations continue, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Propranolol to help regulate your heart rate.
