I'm really concerned about my mom's health after she had COVID. She's been feeling really weak and is sweating a lot at night. Her blood pressure sometimes drops below 60100, but then it goes back up after she eats something or takes supplements. I'm not sure what's going on or what we should do about it. Can you give me some advice?

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'm really puzzled about my mom's test results. Her echocardiogram showed an LVEF of 40-45, but a recent cardiac MRI said it's just 25. This just doesn't seem right because she's not showing any serious symptomsno shortness of breath, no swelling in her legs or stomach. She goes about her day without any issues at all. Could there be an error with the cardiac MRI?

It is possible that there could be a discrepancy between the two imaging tests. However, it is important to follow up with your cardiologist to discuss these findings and determine the best course of action. In the meantime, medications like Carvedilol (Coreg) at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily and Lisinopril (Zestril) at a dosage of 5mg once daily can be considered to help improve heart function.
