I've been fasting for the past few days for Ramadan and I'm 30 years old. I'm a bit concerned because I've been experiencing this slight pain in my left chest whenever I take a deep breath. Could this be related to fasting, like maybe from not eating for 12 hours? Is there something specific I should be worried about, and should I be taking any medication for it?

My grandmother's heart efficiency is just 20 percent, and she's also dealing with jaundice and has a stone stuck in her food pipe. The doctor mentioned surgery, but I'm a bit worried since the low heart efficiency might mean she has some heart issues, right? I'm just trying to figure out what's best for her. What should we do in this situation?

The probable diagnosis could be heart faiure , treatment includes beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and diuretics , In some cases angioplasty is advised for heart block.A cardiologist opinion is advised

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent 2D echo results. It says my EF is 56, but everything else seems normal. Is this EF number something to be concerned about or is it within the normal range? Just wanted to make sure I understand what this means for my heart health.

Your EF (Ejection Fraction) of 56% is considered normal. An EF between 50-70% is generally considered normal for a healthy adult. No treatment is usually required for a normal EF.
