Could you help me figure this out?

My mom has severe pulmonary stenosis and right heart failure, and lately she's been too weak for any physical activity. She's on diuretics and lanoxin but some surgeons said she can't handle open heart surgery. What do you think would be the best treatment options or medications for her condition
Given that open heart surgery is not an option, focusing on symptom management and exploring less invasive options like balloon valvuloplasty is crucial. Medications like diuretics and digoxin (Lanoxin) should be optimized, and additional medications might be considered to manage right heart failure.

Ive been experiencing this weird sensation in my chest where it feels like its shaking. It seems to come and go, lasting anywhere from around 2 to 3 minutes, and then comes back again. What could this possibly be, and should I be worried about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid, fluttering, or pounding heart. In some cases, they may be harmless, but it's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try to reduce caffeine and stress in your daily routine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations.
