I'm scheduled for a TAH at Muslim Maternity Hospital and was told to get a cardiologist's opinion for fitness what exactly do they check for and is this something I should be worried about? My surgery is coming up soon and I'm not sure what to expect from the cardiology evaluation

Question

I'm really worried about my husband's recent health tests. He had an ECG and a 2D echo at Manipal hospitals as part of a health package. When we looked at the reports at home, we noticed that the Doppler study mentions a mitral flow ea and a tr jet at 2.7ms with a 30mm gradient. The doctors there didn't mention anything unusual, but this feels concerning. He's had high blood pressure for years but it's now under control with lifestyle changes and he's stopped taking medication recently. His cholesterol is also high, with a total of 222, HDL at 39, and LDL at 159. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Should we consider an angiogram?

Question

I'm really concerned about my husband who's 41 years old. He's been experiencing some pain on the left side of his chest every now and then, but when we did an ECG and an X-ray, everything came back normal. He weighs about 78 kg. Should I be worried even though the tests are normal? What else could be causing this pain?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been getting short of breath when she climbs stairs or does chores around the house. She doesn't have diabetes and isn't overweight. She used to go for walks all the time, but she stopped since she's taking care of my newborn. I suggested she try walking short distances again. Can you tell me what might be going on with her?
