View allMy wife's LVEF was measured at 50 during her pregnancy and it's still at the same level afterward. The cardiologist prescribed Ramister 1.25mg and Carnitor 500. We're a bit concerned since 50 is on the lower end of normal. Could you let us know if these medications will help improve her LVEF, or if there's anything else we should consider?
These medications can help improve cardiac function and potentially increase the LVEF. Additionally, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to further support heart health."

I've been getting this thumping sensation in my heart at pretty regular intervals, and every time it happens, I start feeling anxious. It's been going on for the past couple of days. Do you have any idea what might be causing it?
This sensation of a thump in your heart at regular intervals, along with feelings of anxiety, could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is pounding or racing. In some cases, palpitations can be caused by stress, anxiety, or stimulants like caffeine. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Tab. Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control the palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm dealing with rheumatic heart disease and usually use Penicillin LA12, but it's currently unavailable. My doctor suggested I take Pendids 400 instead. Are there any concerns with switching to this medication at the age of 30, or is it safe to use in place of Penidura LA12?
Penicillin G Benzathine (Penidura LA12) is commonly used for the treatment of Rheumatic Heart Diseases. Since it is currently out of stock, Penicillin V (Pendids 400) can be a suitable alternative. The recommended dosage for Pendids 400 is usually 400 mg taken orally every 6 hours. It is important to follow your doctor's prescription and guidance for the proper treatment of your condition.
