I'm really worried about this stiffness in my left ventricle. What can I do to help it get better, and are there specific things I should avoid doing? Can it be cured? I'm not sure what steps to take, and it's a bit overwhelming. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Stiffness in the left ventricle can be managed with medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help relax the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to reduce the heart rate and workload on the heart. In addition, diuretics like Furosemide may be used to reduce fluid buildup in the body. It is important to follow a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and avoid alcohol and tobacco which can worsen heart conditions. Regular exercise as recommended by your healthcare provider can help improve heart function. It is also important to manage stress and get an adequate amount of sleep to support heart health. Remember to take your medications as prescribed, attend regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider, and report any new or worsening symptoms promptly.

View allI'm 26 and have been experiencing chest pain for about a month and a half now. I checked my ECG, and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Sometimes it feels like a pressing sensation, and other times it feels like something's moving inside my chest, shifting from the middle to the top, or from the left side to the middle. What could this be?

I've been dealing with this chest pain and burping for a couple of days now, and I'm honestly getting a bit worried. I've tried taking 45mg of aspirin, but it's not helping at all. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?

I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?
To get a complete picture of the functioning of the heart, it is recommended to also do a lipid profile and a hemogram in addition to TMT (Treadmill Test) and 2D Echo. Lipid profile helps to assess the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which are important risk factors for heart disease. Hemogram provides information about the overall health of the individual, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, and platelet count, which can also impact heart health. Therefore, including a lipid profile and hemogram along with TMT and 2D Echo can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the heart's functioning.
