My mom's been having trouble with her breathing for a bit now, and we recently got an echo test done. They said her heart is bigger than normal and kinda weak, functioning at about 25% of what it should be. She's 50, has high blood pressure, and is a bit diabetic. I'm really worried about her. Do you think this is something we can fix? How serious is it? Should I be really alarmed?

Yes it is alarming since the heart functioning is only 25.., u may require an echo for further management and a cardiac opinion.

View allI'm doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. If the symptoms persist, you can also consider taking an H2 blocker like Zantac (ranitidine) 150mg twice daily. For irregular heartbeats, it's important to monitor your heart rate and rhythm. If you continue to experience high heart rate, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.

I've been experiencing these heart palpitations and it's really concerning me. My heart also feels painful and I'm feeling quite shaky and weak. Can you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?
Sir, the treatment for palpitations and chest pain due to weakness can vary depending on the underlying cause. However, for symptomatic relief, you can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, you can take Tab Aspirin 75mg once daily to help with chest pain. It is important to stay hydrated, rest, and avoid caffeine and stress. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.
