I'm 25 and recently had a pre-employment medical check-up where they did an ECG. The person doing the test said it was abnormal, but after doing it again, they mentioned it's not a big deal. I've never had any health issues or needed to see a doctor before, so I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is this something I should be worried about?

Having an abnormal ECG at a young age like 25 can be concerning, but it doesn't always indicate a serious problem. It's important to follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help reduce the risk of any potential cardiovascular issues.

View allMy dad had an angioplasty on the 14th of last month, and now hes been dealing with a persistent cough. We've already seen our regular physician, but it hasn't improved. He's on Ramistar, Rampril, and has a reduced left ventricular function with an EF of 44. Should we be worried about this cough not getting better? Could it be related to his heart medications, or is something else going on? I'm looking for advice on what we should do next.
Ramipril can sometimes cause cough as a side effect. If it is too severe, then the medication may need to be replaced with another anti-hypertensive. It is best to consult your regular cardiologist before making any changes to your regular medication.

I'm wondering if my dad, who got a pacemaker back in 2016 and is currently on medications like BPAsomex, Atorva, and LosarH, can safely get the COVID-19 vaccine. Should he continue taking these meds before and after getting the vaccine, or is there anything specific we need to do? He's okay right now, but I just want to make sure everything stays on track.

I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?
it might be due to either lung or heart cause, do chest xray it can rule out lung cause
