Question 1

I've been feeling really off for the past 10 days. I get this suffocating sensation that eases up only after taking a few deep breaths, but it comes back when I lay down to sleep. It's like a mild pain on my left chest that feels kind of muscular, and it also affects the left side of my neck and shoulder. My schedule's a mess 'cause I work in ITI'm up till like 3 AM and sleep around 1 PM. I haven't had any severe pain, but I do get this sudden feeling where its like Im not getting enough oxygen. There's no history of heart or pulmonary issues in my family. Should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing occasional breathlessness, which may be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially with your irregular sleep schedule. It's important to monitor these symptoms, but considering the absence of severe pain or a family history of heartlung issues, it might also be linked to stress or sleep disruption. However, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.

Question 2

Can you help me understand these heart-related numbers? Im seeing terms like "left atrium 3.9cm", "aorta 3.5cm", and "EF 60". It mentions things like mild MR, trivial TR, and concentric LVH too. I'm curious if these results are normal or if there's anything to worry about, especially with LV diastolic dysfunction and no pericardial effusion mentioned. Could you explain them for me?

Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided, you have Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, Good LV Systolic function, Gr II LV diastolic dysfunction, and no clotpericardial effusion. It is important to continue monitoring your condition regularly with your healthcare provider to manage your heart health effectively.

Question 3

I'm a 25-year-old woman with a BMI of 22.5, and I've been having episodes of tachycardia from time to time. My resting heart rate is usually in the 90s to low 100s, and I don't have any personal or family history of heart disease or drug use. The most recent episode happened yesterday, and I finally got an EKG. It showed sinus tachycardia with a short PR of 100. I work in an outpatient clinic, and a coworker did the EKG for me. Should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

take treatment

I've been noticing that my blood pressure machine consistently indicates an irregular heartbeat. Is this something I should be worried about? I've heard that having an irregular heartbeat can be common, but I'm not sure if that's always the case. Can you help clarify what this might mean?
