Diagnosed With Diastolic Dysfunction
Hi I was recently diagnosed with diastolic dysfunction from ECG . I am female 48 years old with no history of high blood pressure, diabetes and no high cholesterol from recent full blood work panel. I am overweight 5 4 at 190 lbs and I do moderate activity daily. I take no RX meds, only herbal remedies for better health. I am very shocked by this diagnosis since I have no health issues and were never told the cause and what this leads too or even what to do. I do have a cardiac consult scheduled 2 months from now, but should this condition wait on treatment or some kind of intervention??

Control your weight,lifestyle modifications and u can do an ECHO and stress imaging if possible, common causes can be Hypertension, diabetes, valvular heart disease like aortic stenosis, pericarditis, cardiomyopathy etc
Beta blocker like bisoprolol, metoprolol etc and Ace-inhibitors like ramipril, lisinopril etc can be used but with regular cardiac check up :)
