I'm trying to understand why my ejection fraction is higher than normal. It's at 82, whereas previously it was 70 according to another report. Should I be worried about this change? What could cause such an increase in ejection fraction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An ejection fraction of 82% is considered higher than normal and may indicate a condition such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medications like Metoprolol (Toprol XL) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate and improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.

View allI've been experiencing a constant pain in my chest and the surrounding area. It happens about twice a week or sometimes just once a month. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it?
The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox for relief. You can take them as directed on the package insert. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an ECG done today, and it showed something about left axis deviation. I've attached the ECG results. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?
Left axis deviation on ECG can be indicative of various underlying conditions. Given your symptoms of chest pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your symptoms. I recommend you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Additionally, you should take Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help reduce the workload on your heart and control your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
