I'm wondering if it's possible for an ECG to come out normal but still have some unusual results in an echo test? Also, if both test results are normal, what could be the reason for having a high pulse rate? It's been on my mind lately.

View allMy mom has been in the hospital for a few days with chest and left arm pain, and the doctors are saying her ejection fraction is really low. Theyve mentioned theres no definite treatment beyond the medication she's on, and theyre not sure about her life expectancy. Im really worried. Is there any other treatment available, like pacemakers or maybe even a transplant? How does a low ejection fraction, like 28, affect life expectancy?
With an ejection fraction of 28%, your mother is experiencing heart failure. In cases where medication alone is not sufficient, treatment options such as implanting a pacemaker or considering heart transplantation may be considered. Pacemakers can help regulate the heart's rhythm and improve its function. In more severe cases, heart transplantation may be recommended. Medications that are commonly used to manage heart failure and improve ejection fraction include: - ACE inhibitors (e.g., Enalapril) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor - Beta blockers (e.g., Metoprolol) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor - Diuretics (e.g., Furosemide) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor - Aldosterone antagonists (e.g., Spironolactone) - Dosage: as prescribed by the doctor It is important to follow the treatment plan outlined by the healthcare team and make lifestyle changes to manage heart failure effectively. As for life expectancy, it can vary depending on various factors, including the underlying cause of heart failure, overall health, and response to treatment. It is best to discuss this in detail with your healthcare provider.

I'm 30 and lately, I've been experiencing this weird sinking feeling in my chest, almost like a jump-sinking sensation. It just pops up randomly, any time of the day, and can last for a while. It's got me feeling uneasy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone help me figure this out?
stess,alcohol and lack of sleep ,exercisecould be acute causes of jump in the heart rate ,rythm. Few investigations like ECG ,cardiac markers and echo if symptoms persist for more than 3 weeks is advised

I'm really worried because my blood pressure is at an all-time high, showing readings like 152105, and my heart rate is 101. I'm not feeling well at all. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?
"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."
