I've been dealing with left atrium hypertrophy and costochondritis lately, and it's been quite a concern. What I'm confused about is whether it's safe for me to get back into playing football or engage in any strenuous physical activities. Could you provide some guidance on if I can safely start playing again?

It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice, but in general, individuals with left atrium hypertrophy and costochondritis can usually continue playing football or engaging in strenuous physical activity. However, it is essential to monitor your symptoms closely and avoid activities that worsen your condition. For left atrium hypertrophy, medications like Losartan or Amlodipine may be prescribed to manage blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. For costochondritis, over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen or Naproxen can help alleviate discomfort. Remember to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and listen to your body during physical activity.

View allDoctors are suggesting surgery but I'm unsure about the pros and cons. What if bleeding happens again after surgery because of the actilyse injection? What could be the consequences? Are there other options besides surgery, and can this issue be fixed without it? I have an ICD in my heart from an operation three years ago, and now there's a clot again.
Discussing alternatives like anticoagulation adjustments or IVC filters with a cardiologist is key before considering surgery again.

Im 24 and use a fitness tracker every day to monitor my sleep and activity. Ive noticed my heart rate is usually over 80 BPM, except when Im asleep. Whats the ideal BPM I should aim for, and how can I manage it better?
The ideal resting heart rate for adults is generally between 60-100 beats per minute (BPM). Since your BPM is consistently above 80, it may indicate that you have a higher resting heart rate. To help keep your heart rate in control, you can try incorporating regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress levels, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. If you continue to have concerns about your heart rate, you may consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I've been feeling this annoying itchy sensation at the bottom of my heart, kind of towards the back, and it's been bugging me. I'm also always hungry and feeling this slight heartburn, which just adds to the discomfort. It's weird because I can't seem to breathe as deeply as I usually do. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried?
