Should someone be concerned if their doctor states in their file after an echocardiogram that "a left superior vena cava is not present"? Is this a good or bad thing?
Male | 5
The absence of a left superior vena cava is a rare anatomical variation where the vein is not located in its usual position. It is generally considered a normal variant and not inherently good or bad. While it usually doesn't cause health issues, it can bring challenges during certain medical procedures.

Male | 66
A big bulging area in the heart's main pumping chamber might burst, creating problems. Squeezing chest pains, skipped heartbeats, breathing trouble; those are signs something's off. An earlier heart attack or operation sometimes causes this condition. Get urgent care from a cardiologist who'll prescribe meds or operate, preventing worse issues if it ruptures.

I am 38 years old male runner and training for marathon,, but on some days while running I lose my energy and feel dizzy and unable to continue, sudden hunger and my strength completely fades for about a quarter of an hour and then I continue. I noticed that my blood pressure drops through examination (80/40) so I did blood tests, ECG, chest x-ray, sinus x-ray and everything is good. What can be the cause, and what should I check next?

I have been experiencing indigestion and gas formation for the last 4-5 days Through this period, along with uneasiness of the stomach area, I also have uneasiness towards the left chest/heart area Just wanted to mention I've totally stopped smoking like a week ago, maybe this is the withdrawal symptom of tightness in chest and gas formation - but wanted to be sure it is no cardiac concern Thanks
Male | 26
It is possible that your symptoms are due to indigestion and gas; however, given the discomfort you feel directed left chest/heart side of cardiac concerns should be ruled out. It is advisable that you go to a cardiologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, stick to foods that reduce indigestion and gas production.
