View allI'm a bit confused about my recent 2D echo test results. My LVEF was 60 last year, but now it's dropped to 56. The cardiologist said that's normal, but I'm doing intense exercise like jogging, so I would've thought it might increase. Should I be worried, or do you think I need any additional tests? I'm 183 cm tall and weigh 83 kg.
In your case, the decrease in LVEF from 60% to 56% may not necessarily be a cause for concern, especially if your cardiologist has deemed it normal. It's important to consider that LVEF can vary slightly between tests due to factors like hydration status, timing of the test, and even the technician performing the test. However, since you are engaging in intense exercise like jogging, it's good to monitor any changes in your heart function. To support your heart health while engaging in intense exercise, you can consider taking Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements. CoQ10 can help improve heart function and provide antioxidant support. You can take CoQ10 at a dosage of 100-200mg per day. Additionally, it may be beneficial to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet or as a supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and support overall heart health. Aim for a daily dosage of 1000-2000mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. Remember to stay hydrated during your exercise routine and listen to your body for any signs of overexertion. If you experience any concerning symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, consult with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

I'm a bit concerned about what my recent echo showed. It mentioned something called Grade I diastolic dysfunction. Is this something normal that I shouldn't worry about or do I need to consider any treatment? Would really appreciate some guidance.

I've been having this neck pain near my carotid pulse for a few days now, and it's like this sharp pain that comes and goes. My carotid pulse feels like it's beating strongly and sometimes fast. The first time it started was when I almost got mad at my boss. I also noticed my neck felt tight, and my tie was a bit snug. The next day, I checked my blood pressure at a clinic, and it was normal. I'm worried about what's going on. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?
ecg ,cardiac markers and cardiologist opinion is advised.
