Is a mild concentric LVH and Grade I diastolic dysfunction something serious for a 68-year-old woman who's had a high sugar level of 250 and has been taking medication for diabetes for 6 years and heart issues for 4 years? What steps should we be taking? Is there a concern about ischemic heart disease with these symptoms, especially given the normal echo report?

Neck Pain and Burping Symptoms
Possible Causes
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Burping and neck discomfort may be related to GERD, where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus.
- Dysphagia: Difficulty swallowing or a sensation of blockage in the neck could be causing your symptoms.
- Musculoskeletal issues: Neck pain might be related to muscle strain or poor posture.
Recommendations
- Antacids or acid reducers: Over-the-counter medications like antacids (Tums, Rolaids) or acid reducers (Zantac, Pepcid) may help alleviate GERD symptoms.
- Dietary changes: Avoid trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or acidic), eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down after eating.
- Physical therapy: Gentle neck stretches and exercises may help relieve musculoskeletal tension.
- Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions.
When to Seek Immediate Attention
- Severe symptoms: If you experience severe neck pain, difficulty swallowing, or vomiting blood, seek immediate medical attention.

I've been dealing with a super fast heartbeat whenever I lie down in bed for the last 56 days. It's weird because I don't feel any pain or like my chest is congested, but I do feel a lot of anxiety. I'm 24, my height is 5'9", and I weigh about 80kgs. Whenever I'm walking or sitting, my heartbeat seems normal; it's just when I'm laying down that it speeds up. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it something serious?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called orthostatic intolerance, where your heart rate increases when you change positions, such as lying down. This can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, anemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. However, it's important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming electrolytes. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice promptly.
