I've been experiencing shortness of breath when I'm walking, climbing stairs, or doing physical activities. My throat gets really dry, and I feel pain in my neck and back. After eating, I often feel heaviness in my chest and have trouble breathing, and sometimes my heart races. Could these be symptoms of a heart issue? I'm really worried about it.

View allMy mom has severe pulmonary stenosis and right heart failure, and lately she's been too weak for any physical activity. She's on diuretics and lanoxin but some surgeons said she can't handle open heart surgery. What do you think would be the best treatment options or medications for her condition
Given that open heart surgery is not an option, focusing on symptom management and exploring less invasive options like balloon valvuloplasty is crucial. Medications like diuretics and digoxin (Lanoxin) should be optimized, and additional medications might be considered to manage right heart failure. Lifestyle changes, such as a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise as tolerated, can also help

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 87 and had an angioplasty a few years ago. We just found out he has mild bradycardia. The doctor gave him Flavedon MR, but now he's sleeping almost all day and feeling a bit dizzy. Should we keep him on this medication, or is there something else we should try?
YES..patient has to continue same medicaton.. No need to stop flavedon, mild bradycardia is normal in post angioplasty patients.For his vertigo i would recommend tab vertin 8mg thrice daily,orally after food for atleadt 2 weeks.
