Question

I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been diabetic since 2003 and had a CABG in 2008. He's got moderate LVF dysfunction and was in and out of the hospital in 2015 and early 2016 because of pulmonary edema. He's also dealing with hypothyroidism and recently his serum creatine levels increased, so he's on a renal diet and taking a bunch of meds for diabetes, insulin, heart, and thyroid. Lately, since January 2016, he's losing weight and gets short of breath really easily, like after walking just 10-15 meters. His latest blood tests showed low potassium, so the doc gave him a tonic for that. But now he's feeling weak and says he can't taste his food right sometimes. I'm at a loss herehow can we improve his health condition?
