Hey, I'm really puzzled by my dad's ECG test results, and I'm hoping you can shed some light on it for me. He's 66 and the report mentions something about a "sinus rhythm" and "suspect inferior myocardial infarction." There's also a note on "right axis deviation." Should I be concerned about these findings? What do these terms mean for his heart health? I'd appreciate your help in understanding what all this technical stuff means.

View allIve been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?
Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

It's been 4 years since my dad had an angioplasty, and he hasn't had any follow-ups. He just can't seem to quit chewing smokeless tobacco. I'm really worried if this habit could affect his heart again. He's also having some tooth pain lately but insists that there's no connection between tobacco chewing and heart issues or even toothaches. Is there a medical way to help curb his cravings for tobacco?
Your dad's continued smokeless tobacco chewing significantly increases his risk of another heart attack, as it raises blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiovascular stress, while also potentially leading to tooth pain, gum recession, and oral cancer; to help him manage cravings, consider consulting a doctor about prescription medications like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion (Zyban), or varenicline (Chantix), or non-pharmacological approaches like counseling or support groups; regarding his tooth pain, insist he visits a dentist to rule out tobacco-related oral health issues.

I'm really confused and anxious about my heart health. Even though my CT angiography and troponin tests came back negative with no blockages, I can't shake this worry. I've been taking Concor 5 in the morning, and Cardace 5 and Ceruvin A at night. I also lost weight and quit smoking over the last year and a half. But I still keep stressing over the possibility of a heart attack. My blood pressure usually stays under control, between 12080 to 13085, but it tends to spike when I'm feeling really anxious about my heart. What should I do about these feelings and my health?
No need to worry,you are doing good maintain the same healthy life style,and you are using protective medicines already soo the risk of heartatack is already taken care,take adequate rest and have a regular follow up with your doctor
