I feel as if my heart is tired and suffocated. I cannot stand or do any activity without feeling weary and tired. My heart rate shoots up easily. I just had 2 sandwiches and now I feel increased palpitations, as if my heart is sinking down to my stomach. I had an echo in October where my EF was 60 percent and everything was normal. The cardiologist recommended vitamin D shots and some multivitamins. I wanted a repeat echo done because I need to go for a wedding for 10 to 15 days and wanted peace of mind, but the doctor said it is not needed so early. Please tell me what I should do now?

Since your echo was normal with an EF of 60 percent, your heart function is good, and your doctors advice to wait before repeating it is reasonable. Palpitations and tiredness after meals can happen due to anxiety, acidity, or post meal blood flow changes. Continue your vitamin D shots, multivitamins, hydration, and small frequent meals. Avoid heavy, oily meals before travel. If symptoms worsen with chest pain, severe breathlessness, or fainting, seek urgent care. You can book a CBC and Electrolytes test to check for anemia or imbalance.

View allMy son had a fever (100F) which subsided in 2 to 3 days. After 4 days, he developed red rashes all over his body. On the doctor advice, we got a CBC test along with IgM and IgG tests, IgM was positive. Within 3 days, the rashes disappeared. The CBC report showed some variations (low PCV, MCV, neutrophils), though platelets were near normal. The doctor advised hydration and close monitoring, mentioning it is a mild infection that can become severe. He has been active and playing normally. After 2 days, repeat CBC showed hemoglobin and PCV were increasing. After another 3 days, hemoglobin was higher, PCV remained high, and IgM was still positive. We are worried about these rising trends, though he remains active. Should we hospitalize him or continue care at home?

Please review my report. I noticed that my monocyte count is 9, while the normal range is 3 to 6. What does a high monocyte count indicate, and should I be concerned?

My son had a severe allergic reaction after taking medicine for sudden pain in his leg joints. He developed red, painful dots all over his legs, resembling severe mosquito bites, but without any purple spots. The doctor initially suggested the possibility of vasculitis, but his blood report, including a rheumatoid factor of 8.5, came back negative. I am unsure about the cause of this reaction. Some doctors advise that it will resolve on its own, as additional medications seem to worsen the condition. Please guide me on what steps to take next.
