I'm looking at my echocardiography report and I'm a bit worried. It says things like IVSTD 03 mm, LVPWD 07 mm, LVIDd 70 mm, FS 13, LVIDs 61 mm, and EF 28. I'm not sure what all of that means, but I'm concerned about whether these measurements are okay. Am I actually fit? Can you help me understand this?

Based on your echocardiography report, it indicates that you have a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 28%, which is below the normal range (55-70%). This may indicate a decrease in the pumping function of your heart. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you may be prescribed medications such as Carvedilol

I've been dealing with constant pain on the left side of my chest for about 8 months now. My ECG came back normal, so I'm pretty confused about what's going on. Sometimes taking something for acidity helps a bit, but other times it doesn't do much. Along with that, I've been feeling pretty nauseous and have had some trouble breathing. Does this sound like something serious, or should I keep trying different medications?

I'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?

Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.

I'm dealing with some persistent swelling in my feet and ankles that's been going on for over three months now. I'm currently on calaptin 240sr, aztor 10, and nexito forte. Should I be concerned about any side effects from these meds, or could something else be causing this swelling? Also, do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
