I'm wondering if my dad, who got a pacemaker back in 2016 and is currently on medications like BPAsomex, Atorva, and LosarH, can safely get the COVID-19 vaccine. Should he continue taking these meds before and after getting the vaccine, or is there anything specific we need to do? He's okay right now, but I just want to make sure everything stays on track.

View allI'm a bit worried after my recent ECG showed a sinus rhythm with an inverted T wave. What could that mean, and how might it affect my heart health?
The presence of an inverted T wave on an ECG showing sinus rhythm can indicate various underlying issues. In some cases, it may be a normal variant, but it can also be a sign of cardiac ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other cardiac conditions. To address this issue, it is important to determine the underlying cause. Treatment may involve managing any underlying conditions, such as correcting electrolyte imbalances or addressing coronary artery disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about what's happening with my health. So, I had a brain stroke about 2 months ago, and my doctor recommended getting an Echo cardiogram. The test showed something called "Reduced diastolic compliance". I'm not sure what this means. Is this something serious? Should I be really concerned about it?
This means that the heart is having difficulty relaxing and filling with blood during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This condition can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. To improve diastolic compliance, the doctor may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a dosage of 10-20mg daily. Additionally, Beta-blockers like Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg daily may also be recommended. It is important to follow up with the doctor regularly to monitor and manage this condition.

I'm 22 years old and I smoke regularly. Lately, I've been experiencing a tight feeling and pain in my chest and back over the past few days. I'm not sure if it's related to my heart, lungs, or maybe something gastric? It gets worse whenever I lift something heavy or if I try to get up quickly from bed. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
gastritis take tab pantop 40 mg for 3 days
