I'm 21 and have been going to the gym regularly for three years now, just using whey protein. I recently got diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction on the 15th of this month, and I'm really scared. Is this something serious? Can it be treated or stopped from getting worse? Please let me know as soon as possible.

View allI'm trying to understand why my ejection fraction is higher than normal. It's at 82, whereas previously it was 70 according to another report. Should I be worried about this change? What could cause such an increase in ejection fraction?
An ejection fraction of 82% is considered higher than normal and may indicate a condition such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medications like Metoprolol (Toprol XL) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate and improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.

I'm experiencing really bad pain in my right chest and arm for the past three days. I missed taking my Stamlo tablets around the time the pain started. Usually, I take Rantax and Stamlo regularly. Could missing my medication be causing this pain, or should I be worried about something else?

I'm really worried about the increase in heart attack deaths among the younger generation and folks over 40, especially in places like the Gulf countries and India during these COVID times. What's causing this rise in heart issues? Are there specific factors related to the pandemic that are making heart conditions worse in these areas? It feels like something has changed recently, and I'm trying to understand what's going on.
The increased death due to heart attacks among youngsters and people above 40 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Gulf countries and India can be attributed to various factors. Stress, lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet, and disruption in regular healthcare services are some of the key contributors. Additionally, the fear of contracting COVID-19 may have deterred individuals from seeking timely medical attention for heart-related symptoms, leading to complications and increased mortality rates. To address this issue, it is important to prioritize heart health by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In cases where individuals have existing heart conditions or risk factors, it is crucial to continue with prescribed medications and follow-up appointments with healthcare providers. If experiencing any concerning symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath, it is essential to seek medical help promptly. In terms of medication, individuals with heart conditions may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin for blood thinning, Beta-blockers to reduce blood pressure, and Statins to lower cholesterol levels. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and regimen as advised by a healthcare professional.
