Is Sleeping on left side bad for heart?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

No ,sleeping on your left side, specifically, could help the flow of blood to your heart. When your heart pumps blood out to your body, it getsside.culated and then flows back to your heart on the right side

I'm really concerned about my health right now. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia, but my other tests like the 2D echo and blood work came back normal. I have some heart blocks, but I've been trying to manage them with diet control. The issue is, I feel breathless whenever I walk, even though I don't have any other symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take next?

Sinus arrhythmia is a common condition where the heart's rhythm varies with breathing. Since your 2D echo and blood tests are normal, it's a good sign. For managing heart blocks and breathlessness, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This will help in controlling your heart rate and symptoms. Additionally, continue with your diet control and regular exercise routine. If breathlessness persists, you can use a bronchodilator like Salbutamol inhaler as needed.

I'm a bit concerned after my routine ECG showed a short PR interval noted by the doctor as 0.11 ms and an S wave extending to V6. Can you tell me what these findings might mean and what steps I should take next?

An echo is advised to the patient.
