I'm dealing with this left-side chest pain for the past 4 months, and it's starting to worry me. I saw a doctor who asked me to get an ECG, an X-ray, and a lipid profile. The ECG and X-ray came back normal, but my cholesterol and triglycerides were high. The meds he gave me brought those levels down within 2 months, but the chest pain just won't go away completely. I can still play and get my work done, but the pain shows up sometimes at night or when I'm at my desk. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

It's good that your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are normal now. Since your chest pain persists, it's important to consider other possible causes. Given your history of high cholesterol and chest pain, it's important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend discussing with your doctor the possibility of angina or other heart-related conditions. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like Ranitidine 150mg twice a day to see if it helps with the chest pain, as it could be related to acid reflux. However, it's crucial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've noticed my blood pressure is usually around 10462 during the day, but when I'm resting or sleeping, it drops into the 9050s range. I've been keeping an eye on it for about a month and the pattern seems pretty consistent. I had an echocardiogram earlier this year, and it showed I have a diastolic relaxation abnormality. I'm wondering if this could be causing my low blood pressure? Could it lead to more heart-related complications, or is it normal for blood pressure to drop like this at night? I've been feeling really fatigued and low on energy no matter how much I sleep, and it's a bit worrying. What do you think?
Low blood pressure during rest or sleep can be influenced by various factors, including underlying conditions such as diastolic dysfunction. In your case, the diastolic relaxation abnormality noted in your echocardiography may contribute to the lower blood pressure readings, especially during periods of rest. This can potentially lead to symptoms of fatigue and lack of energy. To address this issue, it is important to manage the underlying diastolic dysfunction. In addition, ensuring an adequate intake of fluids and electrolytes can help stabilize blood pressure. If symptoms persist, medications such as Midodrine or Fludrocortisone may be prescribed to raise blood pressure levels, especially during periods of rest or sleep. However, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I have rheumatic heart disease with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation and my LV is 58 - can this be managed with medications or do I need surgery
With rheumatic heart disease, moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, and an LV ejection fraction of 58%, the decision to manage with medication or surgery depends on the specific symptoms and the severity of the regurgitation and LV dysfunction. While medications can help manage symptoms and prevent complications, severe cases often require surgical intervention to repair or replace the mitral valve. Your doctor will consider your individual circumstances, including the severity of your condition, your overall health, and your symptoms, to determine the best course of treatment
