I've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.

View allI want to understand if digital blood pressure machines are reliable. Lately, my readings are often above 14090, though sometimes they drop lower. Should I trust these numbers, or do you think I need to check in with a doctor?
digital blood pressure machines are generally accurate if used correctly. However, it is important to ensure that you are using the machine properly, such as positioning the cuff at heart level and following the instructions provided with the device. Variations in blood pressure readings can occur due to factors like stress, caffeine intake, or even the time of day. If you consistently see readings above 14090, it is advisable to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In case of high blood pressure, medications like Losartan 50mg or Amlodipine 5mg may be prescribed to help manage it."

I'm experiencing something strange over the last couple of days. My pulse rhythm seems normal, but I've been having this weird fluttering sensation in my neck, kind of a vague feeling. It usually happens after I eat. I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about. What could be causing this?
The symptoms you are describing, such as fluttering in the neck and a vague feeling, could be related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing esophageal spasms. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've had this chest pain for like 10 days now, and my ECG came back normal, which is good I guess? But I'm on these meds like mild TR and taking aceclofenac paracetamol tablets. Could you explain what's going on with my chest pain? Is it something I should be worried about? And is there anything else you think I should be doing?
do ECHO once if chest pain persists
