I'm feeling really worried because after some arguments in my family, I noticed my stomach was moving up and down a lot, and my heart was beating way faster than usual. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it just stress? What can I do to calm things down?

View allI'm curious about the normal size of the abdominal aorta since my recent echocardiography showed my aorta measures 3 cm. The abdominal ultrasound indicated it was normal. Should I be concerned about this size?
The normal size of the abdominal aorta is typically less than 3 cm in diameter. Since your aorta size is 3cm, it is at the upper limit of normal. It is important to monitor this closely to ensure it does not increase in size. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes.

My dad had an angioplasty on the 14th of last month, and now hes been dealing with a persistent cough. We've already seen our regular physician, but it hasn't improved. He's on Ramistar, Rampril, and has a reduced left ventricular function with an EF of 44. Should we be worried about this cough not getting better? Could it be related to his heart medications, or is something else going on? I'm looking for advice on what we should do next.
Ramipril can sometimes cause cough as a side effect. If it is too severe, then the medication may need to be replaced with another anti-hypertensive. It is best to consult your regular cardiologist before making any changes to your regular medication.

I'm feeling really lightheaded and having some chest discomfort. A couple of years ago, I did some tests like ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and everything was normal except there was a comment about systolic dysfunction in the echo. My blood pressure was also fine at that time. But now, when I checked my blood pressure because of the lightheadedness, it was 10661. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be worried about the systolic dysfunction part from before?
Feeling lightheaded and experiencing chest discomfort, especially with a history of systolic dysfunction noted in your echocardiogram, warrants immediate attention. Although your previous tests were normal, new or worsening symptoms should not be ignored. Your current blood pressure of 10661 mmHg is on the lower side, which may contribute to your lightheadedness. Given your symptoms and history, it is essential to seek medical evaluation promptly to rule out any potential cardiac issues or other causes. Please visit an emergency room or contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible for a thorough assessment and appropriate management.
