View allI've been feeling some pain in my chest, shoulder, and back, and the doctor thinks it might be diastolic dysfunction grade one. Is this something serious? I'm really curious about whether this condition can be cured. Also, does what I eat or how much I exercise make a difference in dealing with this issue? The doctor gave me some medicine, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
Yes that is reversible,no need to worry follow your doctors advice

I'm really concerned about my dad's heart health. He had a mild heart attack back in 1995 but never went through any angiography. He seemed fine up until December 2021, when a routine check-up revealed he has aortic stenosis. It's a bit confusing because he doesn't have any symptoms like breathlessness, and his cholesterol levels are normal. He's been on Ecosprin Gold 10 since 2014, but now another cardiologist is suggesting he switches to Ecosprin AV 7510. I'm just wondering, is that change in medication okay? I really need some expert advice on this.
Yes its ok no problem you can use ecospirin av ,follow your doctors advice

I've been dealing with a higher heart rate for about 45 days now, and it's really starting to make me feel nervous and cause chest pain. This actually happened to me about two years ago as well, and back then I did all the tests like ECG and 2D ECHO but they didn't find anything wrong. Now that it's happening again, I'm really concerned. Can you suggest what might be causing this or how I should treat it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 10-40mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed to control heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
