View allI've been noticing something strangewhen I'm lying in bed, I can actually feel my heartbeat, and while my heart rate seems normal, my body feels like it's shaking a bit with each beat. I got my echocardiogram results, and it shows a myxomatous mitral valve with mild MR, with measurements of LV ID at 5.7 cm and 3.8 cm, IVSd at 0.8 cm, LVPWd at 0.8 cm, and an EF of 60%. The doctor mentioned my left ventricle is slightly enlarged but not dangerous. But here's the thingwhen I stand up quickly from lying down, I get really dizzy. Could you explain what might be going on and what I should do about it?
When you suddenly stand from a lying position and feel dizzy, it could be due to a drop in blood pressure known as orthostatic hypotension. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly transitioning from lying to standing positions. Additionally, you may benefit from medications such as Fludrocortisone to help increase blood volume and improve blood pressure regulation. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action based on your individual health needs.

I've been worried about my dad because he's been experiencing sudden bouts of heavy sweating and weakness, and this happens almost once a month or sometimes every two months. We got an ECG done, and his blood pressure seems normal according to the tests, but I'm still concerned. What might be causing these symptoms, and which specialist should we consult to make sure it's nothing serious?
These symptoms could be indicative of episodes of vasovagal syncope, which can cause sudden heavy sweating and weakness. It is important to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac issues. In the meantime, your father can take Tab. Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg once daily to help manage symptoms.

I'm really worried about my moms blood pressure. Her reading came in at 171 over 105 and she's been struggling with it for months now. Are there any effective treatments or suggestions you might have to help manage it?
High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes and medication. In this case, your mom may benefit from starting medication to lower her blood pressure. I recommend she consult with a doctor to get a prescription for medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) to help lower her blood pressure levels. Additionally, she should focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to help control her blood pressure.
