I'm working out every day, but I've been having this pain in my left leg for more than 2 days now, and it's been followed by this pain right in the center of my chest. I'm really not sure who I should be seeing for this. Could you guide me on which type of doctor would be best to consult?

View allI'm really anxious about my severe mitral valve stenosis. I had a balloon mitral valvotomy in February 2019, and the valve size is now 1.8. Could you tell me when I might need a valve replacement and what my life expectancy might be with this condition?
Based on the information you provided, since you have severe mitral valve stenosis and have already undergone Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV) in February 2019, with a resulting valve size of 1.8, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. In cases of severe mitral valve stenosis, valve replacement may be necessary if symptoms persist or worsen despite previous interventions. For management of symptoms and to improve your quality of life, you can consider medications such as diuretics like Furosemide (Lasix) to help with fluid retention and Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to control heart rate. Additionally, anticoagulants like Warfarin may be prescribed to prevent blood clots. As for life expectancy with mitral valve stenosis, it can vary depending on the severity of the condition, response to treatment, and overall health of the individual. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your condition and determine the best course of action.

I've been experiencing this really weird thing where I suddenly get dizzy and faint after using the bathroom. I woke up this last time with a hurt nose, and it's actually the third time it's happened over the past five years. The first two times, I had a fever, so I figured that was the cause, but this time I'm not sick. I've seen a bunch of doctors, but no one seems to figure it out. They keep asking if I have issues with my BP or if I'm feeling hot. I dont have any of these problems normally, so Im really puzzled. Could there be something else going on that were missing?
This episode of dizziness and fainting could be related to a condition called vasovagal syncope, which can be triggered by various factors such as urination. To help prevent these episodes, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake to maintain blood pressure. Additionally, you can use medications like Fludrocortisone (brand name Florinef) at a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg per day to help increase blood volume and prevent episodes of fainting. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if this medication is suitable for you.

I'm feeling really confused about something. My ECG says I have LAD, but I'm not experiencing any symptoms, and both my echo and TMT came back normal. I haven't been diagnosed with LAH, BLBB, or LVH. So, why would I have LAD? I've attached my ECG if that helps. Can someone explain what's going on here?
Based on the information provided and the attached ECG, it appears that you have been diagnosed with Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery involvement. In this case, it is important to focus on managing your cardiovascular health. I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further artery blockage. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
