So my left atrium size is 5.6 cm, and my doctor says my heart is alright, but I'm not sure how that is possible. On top of it, I'm having trouble with dyspnea when I exert myself. Could someone help explain what's going on?

It is possible for your doctor to determine that your heart is functioning normally despite the enlarged left atrium (LA) size. However, experiencing dyspnea on exertion is a concerning symptom that should be further evaluated. In this case, you may benefit from medication such as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50 mg daily) to help with your symptoms. Additionally, a diuretic like Furosemide (20-40 mg daily) may be prescribed to reduce fluid buildup and alleviate the dyspnea. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allCan I take ursolic 300 along with roseday gold 10 and teli cm 25? Is it safe to use all these medicines together? I'm a little worried about possible interactions or side effects. What do you think?
When considering taking Ursolic 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) along with Roseday Gold 10 (a combination of rosuvastatin, aspirin, and clopidogrel) and Teli CM 25 (a combination of telmisartan and chlorthalidone), it is important to consult your healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriateness. These medications have different mechanisms of action and can interact in various ways. While Ursolic 300 is used for liver-related issues, Roseday Gold addresses cardiovascular risk factors, and Teli CM is used for hypertension. Your doctor will need to consider your overall health, liver and kidney function, and any potential interactions or side effects. Therefore, always consult with your healthcare provider before combining these medications to ensure they are safe for your specific health conditions

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having some chest discomfort and mild pain that sometimes happens on the left side and other times in the center. He gets really nervous, and his heart rate spikes to around 90-98 bpm when this happens, but when he's more relaxed, it goes back down to about 68-72 bpm. He runs on the treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes at least five days a week and doesn't feel any discomfort during that time. Although he has an acidity and GERD problem, he's finished his course of medication and isn't taking any other tablets. His sugar and blood pressure are normal, and chest X-rays came back fine, with an orthopaedic saying it's nothing serious and just suggesting vitamins. He also feels pain at certain points when the chest is pressed. With all these symptoms, I'm wondering if it could be his heart, acidity, muscular, or maybe even a nerve issue. Do you think an angiography would be necessary given his normal reports so far?
Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..
