Question 1

My mother was diagnosed with gall bladder stones and is scheduled for surgery, but the doctor noticed something unusual in her heart X-ray and recommended an echo. The echo results came back as 4243 at the clinic but showed 2025 when repeated at a government hospital. Why are the readings so different and what should we do next?

Question 2

My grandmother's heart efficiency is just 20 percent, and she's also dealing with jaundice and has a stone stuck in her food pipe. The doctor mentioned surgery, but I'm a bit worried since the low heart efficiency might mean she has some heart issues, right? I'm just trying to figure out what's best for her. What should we do in this situation?

Question 3

I've been dealing with some serious chest pain for the last five months, and along with that, I've been feeling really weak and fatigued. My stamina has dropped a lot, and I get tired super quickly. On top of that, my heart races really fast. My resting heart rate is usually around 80 to 90, but if I start walking, it shoots up to 120, and just climbing two floors slowly takes it to around 160. Is this something to worry about? I had an ECG done, and it came back normal, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any insights on this would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and heart rate response to physical activity, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may be experiencing symptoms of angina or heart failure. I recommend you start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and reduce chest pain. Additionally, you should also take a blood thinner like Aspirin (75mg) to prevent blood clots. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling this weird sensation like my heart or something inside is vibrating. It's mostly in my chest and around that area. What could this mean? Should I be worried?
