I've been feeling this odd sensation when I'm sitting down, like there's a push and pull throughout my body matched with my heartbeat. It's like my heart is beating at a normal pace but with a lot of force. I can also see my heartbeat in my stomach area. Plus, I've been having some discomfort in my chest. Both my echo and TMT came back normal, so I'm kind of confused about what's going on. What might be causing this, and what type of doctor should I talk to about it?

View allIs a pacemaker a good option for my dad? He's 61 and had a heart attack in March. His lvef was 15 at the time, and he's also diabetic. I'm worried about his condition and wondering if a pacemaker would really help.
A pacemaker may be helpful in your father's condition, especially if he has a low ejection fraction (15%). In cases of heart attack and heart failure, a pacemaker can help regulate the heart's rhythm and improve its overall function. Additionally, since your father is diabetic, it is important to manage both conditions effectively. In this case, along with a pacemaker, medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics may also be prescribed to help improve heart function and manage diabetes. It is important for your father to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan and to discuss the specific brand names and dosages of medications suitable for your father's condition.

I'm looking for some advice because my total cholesterol level is 235, and I really want to get it under 200. What can I do to lower it? Ive attached my report for more details. Can you help me out?
To lower your total cholesterol from 235 mgdL to below 200 mgdL, it's essential to adopt lifestyle changes and possibly medication. Dietary changes include reducing saturated and trans fats, increasing fiber intake from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, and incorporating healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and fatty fish. Regular exercise, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, and maintaining a healthy weight are also important. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake. If lifestyle changes are insufficient, your doctor may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medications like statins. Consult your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan and discuss whether medication is necessary.
