Are there any other ways to cure back acne besides oral medications?

There are topical wash/cleansers that are useful for the Acne Vulgaris of your back. Treatment for the acne will depend on its severity. There are creams available to be applied over the acne in the day as well as night for acne prone skin that will help in its reduction in size and numbers. However, if the acne is moderate in nature, Oral antibiotics will be useful, together with the creams. Isotretinoin (the Vitamin A medicine) is reserved for severe acne and has to be used with caution, if necessary. Hope this helps.

Could I have a heart problem if I have a heavy heart, weary legs, and ECG T Wave inversion?

Your mum certainly is at risk of heart diseases in view of her risk factors such as hypertension as well as overweight. I noted that her ECG was done 3 months ago. This might not very useful in evaluating her current complaints and symptoms. I would advise you to bring her to your family physician for a more thorough work- up which might include a repeat ECG and blood tests after taking her medical history and examining her. Hope this helps and she gets well soon.
