I'm 46 and I've just found out I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction from an echocardiography test. Is this something serious? What kind of precautions or lifestyle changes should I consider?

View allI'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been dealing with diabetes for about 20 years now, and he also has hypertension and CKD. His creatinine level is at 2.1. We're considering giving him GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 for his angina, but I'm concerned about any potential side effects it might have on his kidney and liver. Could this possibly lead to an increase in his creatinine levels? I'm just not sure if it's safe for him given his conditions.

I'm experiencing a really high heart rate, like around 111 to 115, and I'm also dealing with dry eyes and a loss of appetite. Could these be connected to my fast heartbeat? What might be causing all this? Would love some guidance.
A high heart rate, dry eyes, and loss of appetite can be related to various medical conditions. One possible reason for your symptoms could be hyperthyroidism, which is an overactive thyroid gland. In this case, I would recommend you to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg twice a day to help lower your heart rate.

Is there any difference between sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia? I'm trying to understand if they are the same thing or if they affect the heart in different ways. It's a bit confusing to me, and I'm worried about what these terms mean for heart health. Could you explain it in simple terms?
Sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia are different conditions. Sinus arrhythmia is a normal variation in heart rate that occurs with breathing - the heart rate increases with inhalation and decreases with exhalation. It is usually harmless and does not require treatment. On the other hand, sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart rate is faster than normal, typically above 100 beats per minute. In some cases, sinus tachycardia may be a sign of an underlying medical condition and treatment may be necessary. If you are experiencing symptoms of either condition, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
