I'm 50 years old and was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse at 18, but there's no blood regurgitation according to my echocardiogram. I checked with a doctor about 8 years ago, and they said it's not something to worry about. Should I mention this condition when getting my COVID-19 vaccine?

An ECG report indicating sinus rhythm, normal axis, and T and ST wave abnormalities suggests potential cardiac issues. While not necessarily serious, it requires further evaluation. Consider: Next Steps 1. Consult a cardiologist for interpretation and guidance. 2. Additional tests: Holter monitor, echocardiogram, or stress test. 3. Review medical history and medications.

Question

I've been feeling this needle-like pain in my left chest that started a couple of nights ago while I was asleep and it lasted about 10 minutes. Afterward, I started getting these intermittent pin-pricking pains on both sides of my chest. Now I'm even feeling some discomfort in my back and mild pains in my left shoulder and arms, which sometimes shift to the right side. Im already dealing with a breathing problem and recently noticed some chest tightness. I dont feel tired or dizzy, but I do have a stomach ulcer. I'm really worried this could be some kind of heart attack or angina. What should I do?

My father-in-law recently had an ECG due to some chest pain, which we thought was from acidity. To our surprise, it showed a coronary blockage. What should we do next? I'm just a bit worried about what the usual procedure is for handling something like this. Any advice would be really appreciated.
