I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

View allSo, I just got my Echo report and it says EF is 65 and there's something about Mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this means and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it a serious heart problem?
In that Echo report, an ejection fraction (EF) of 65% indicates normal heart function. Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) means that the walls of the heart's main pumping chamber are slightly thickened. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. You can take Losartan 50mg once daily to help with blood pressure control and to reduce the workload on the heart. Regular exercise and a low-sodium diet can also be beneficial.

I'm really worried about this heart murmur that was detected during my TB treatment. I completed 9 months of medication, and an echo test came back normal. But the heart murmur is still being detected. Could the TB meds be causing this? It all started when I began taking them. What should I do?
Cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been experiencing this strange sensation for the last two weeks where it feels like my heart is skipping a beat or just stops briefly, and then it goes back to normal. It can happen maybe 5 to 10 times throughout the day, and it's pretty random. Is this something I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of irregular heartbeats, also known as palpitations. In this case, it is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. However, if you are looking for over-the-counter options to help manage your symptoms, you can try taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium can help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the frequency of palpitations. You can take magnesium supplements such as "Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg" once daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
