I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain after taking steroids. Do you know what could be causing this, and are there any remedies or things I can do to make the pain go away? I'm trying to figure out if this is something serious or if there are simple home remedies I could try.

View allI'm having some trouble with breathlessness and occasional chest pain. I got an ECG, and it came back normal, but a 2D echo showed mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance, grade 1. Everything else seemed fine. My hemoglobin is at 6.7, blood pressure at 16090, and pulse at 105. Cholesterol levels are total 149, triglycerides 94, HDL 55, and LDL 100. I also have some gastric issues, and the breathlessness feels better after I burp. Do you think this is something I should be worried about, or is it okay?
Given your symptoms of breathlessness and chest pain, the mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance noted in your 2D echo, high blood pressure of 16090, and significantly low hemoglobin level of 6.7, there are multiple areas needing attention. While your ECG and cholesterol levels are normal, the combination of LVH, hypertension, and anemia requires medical management. Addressing your anemia is crucial, as it can contribute to your breathlessness and fatigue. Managing your blood pressure through medication adjustments and lifestyle changes is also important. Since your breathlessness is relieved by burping, addressing any gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux is necessary. Follow up with your cardiologist for ongoing monitoring and management of the LVH and reduced diastolic compliance.

Can you help me understand these heart-related numbers? Im seeing terms like "left atrium 3.9cm", "aorta 3.5cm", and "EF 60". It mentions things like mild MR, trivial TR, and concentric LVH too. I'm curious if these results are normal or if there's anything to worry about, especially with LV diastolic dysfunction and no pericardial effusion mentioned. Could you explain them for me?
Based on the information provided, you have Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, Good LV Systolic function, Gr II LV diastolic dysfunction, and no clotpericardial effusion. It is important to continue monitoring your condition regularly with your healthcare provider to manage your heart health effectively.

I'm really worried about my husband who's 43. He recently got over a mild case of COVID and I'm wondering if he should get his heart checked now that he's recovered. Is that something we should be concerned about or is he okay to skip it?
Unless your husband has experienced symptoms like fatigue, weakness or chest pain, or has a history of heart disease, there is no need to conduct a heart checkup.
