I'm experiencing some heaviness in my chest area and I'm having trouble breathing. I've got a headache, my heartbeat feels faster than usual, and I just can't seem to catch my breath properly. I'm really worried about what's going on. Can you help figure out what this could be?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition or respiratory issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for possible heart-related symptoms and use an inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) for breathing difficulties. Remember to take deep breaths and try to stay calm while waiting for medical help.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart health. In March, my cardiologist recommended a 2D echo and TMT test. I've started taking Prolomet R50 and Deplatt A 75 as prescribed. I'm just wondering, does it seem like we're on the right track with the treatment plan?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm really worried about my dad. His heart's ejection fraction is only 20, and the doctor mentioned that means his heart's power is at 20. He's been on medication for the last three months, but I'm curious to know what kind of treatment might be next. Also, are there any specific precautions he should be taking right now? I'm just trying to figure out how to best support him through this.

Ejection fraction of the heart is very low , causes would be heart attack,cardiomyopathy,coronary artery disease, high blood pressure,aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitatin,myocarditis,arrhythmia etc , u can continue the same medications . An echocardiogram is advised and a cardiac opinion.
