I'm feeling really confused and worried. Last year, my echocardiogram showed diastolic dysfunction, but when I did it again this year, it showed everything was fine with no sign of it. I'm trying to understand if diastolic dysfunction can reverse itself? I read online that it usually happens to older people, but I'm not that old and my blood pressure, sugar, and thyroid levels are all normal. Why did this happen to me, and should I be worried about it?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been having some discomfort in his left hand, and sometimes right hand, that goes up to his wrist and neck. He's 55 and has been experiencing this for the past few months. His cholesterol levels are at 225, and his blood pressure is around 13075. Do you think these could be signs of a pre-heart attack? I would really appreciate any advice.
These symptoms could indeed be concerning for potential heart issues. It is important to act promptly. I recommend that your father take Aspirin 81mg immediately to help prevent blood clot formation. Additionally, he should take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief of chest pain or discomfort. It is crucial to seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?
Irregular heartbeats can be caused by various underlying conditions. In your case, since you have been experiencing this issue for the past 2-3 years, it is important to consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, one common medication that is often prescribed for irregular heartbeats is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of irregular heartbeats is 25-100 mg per day, taken orally. This medication helps to regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

What should I do now? Who should I see for this? Are there any specific tests you recommend?
