What Could Be Causing Nausea and Chest Discomfort After Ischemic Stroke in a 71 Year Old?
Your dad, who is 71 years old, experienced an ischemic stroke 14 days ago. As a result, he lost sensation on his right side and has some speech difficulties. He is currently taking medication for his condition. After the stroke, he experienced nausea and chest discomfort. Although he underwent cardiac tests, all the results came back normal. The cause of his chest discomfort and burning sensation is unclear at this point. I would like to know what may be the causes and whats the next step to take.

The causes of your father’s chest pain and burning sensations include acid reflux, anxiety or medication side effect. But considering his past medical history of ischemic stroke and age, a cardiac cause must be excluded. I suggest a cardiologist referral for further evaluation and treatment. He should continue with the medication used to treat his stroke and have regular visits from a health care provider.

With Normal heart reports on DEcho and TMT, there’s a minimal probability of cardiac arrest. But one should bear in mind that cardiac arrest may happen to anyone, anywhere and even people with no previous history of their heart being affected by any illness.

My eyes goes red and heart beat go fast after drinking
Male | 31
If you drink and your eyes turn red or your heart starts beating fast, it could mean that you are allergic to alcohol. This happens when your body cannot process alcohol properly. To help yourself feel better, try reducing your intake or not drinking at all. Also, drink a lot of water and get enough sleep so that your organism can recover.

Slightly hole in heart It can be controlled or finished
Male | 11 days
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a small hole in the heart between its chambers. Some people may not show symptoms, while others might experience fatigue and shortness of breath. Don't worry—many cases don’t require treatment, and if needed, your doctor will recommend the best option, which could be surgery. Remember to have regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor the condition's progress.

What treatment would you suggest to person with LVEP 10% still the person is walking and talking normally
As per my understanding, the patient is having LVEF 10% and is walking and talking normally (leading a normal active healthy life). To me it seems to one of the rare case where a person having LVEF 10% and leading active healthy life. You should consult a cardiologist and get the ECHO repeated either there may a mistake in the previous report or if it's a miracle then it should be studied further.

Urgent Medical Inquiry Dear Dr., I hope this message finds you well. My friend, experienced a heart attack and underwent a procedure with two stents. However, post-discharge, he faced complications, including coughing and a subsequent diagnosis of a blood clot. I seek your expert guidance on his condition and potential next steps. Your prompt assistance is highly appreciated. Best regards, Elyas
Male | 62
Your friend's coughing after heart surgery could signal fluid around the lungs. This is sometimes seen as the body responds to the procedure. Immobility post-op may have led to a blood clot forming. It's important to get medical care promptly. Contact your friend's cardiologist right away for an evaluation and proper treatment.
