I'm really worried because my homocysteine level is 93. Is that really dangerous? I also have MVP with moderate MR. I'm relieved that my white and red blood cells are at normal levels. Should I be concerned about the high homocysteine given my condition?

Hi, based on your homocysteine level of 93, it is considered high. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking a combination of medications such as Foltx (folic acid 1 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 1 mg) once daily. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and management.

I've been feeling breathless quite often and my gastroenterologist advised me to cut out salty, spicy, and oily foods from my diet and to take a PAN L tablet in the morning. It's been 10 days since I started this diet, but I'm still having the same symptoms. I'm worried if this might be a heart issue, though my echo and ECG came out fine three months ago. Could it be something to do with my lungs? I'm really anxious because sometimes I feel a heaviness on the left side of my chest, and at times my heart rate suddenly increases. My vitamin B12 levels are normal. I'm not sure if I should stick with this diet or consult someone else. Can you guide me on what to do?

I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.
