I'm curious about some symptoms I've been experiencing. A few months back, I did an echo report and a TMT, which came back negative. Lately, though, I've been having this pressure and a burning sensation in my chest, plus a lot of burping. I'm a bit worriedis this something heart-related? Should I consider getting more tests done to check my heart health? Would love to hear your thoughts.

based on your symptoms of pressure in chest, burping, burning sensation, and pain in chest, it is important to further evaluate your heart health. In addition to the echo report and negative TMT, I would recommend a few more tests for a comprehensive heart evaluation. 1. **ECG (Electrocardiogram)**: To assess the electrical activity of your heart. 2. **Holter Monitor**: To monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 3. **Cardiac CT Scan or MRI**: To get detailed images of your heart's structure and function. 4. **Blood tests**: Such as lipid profile and cardiac enzymes to check for any abnormalities. Based on the results of these tests, further treatment or management can be determined.

I've noticed my grandma's pulse tends to skip beats every now and then. She's in her eighties and seems pretty frail. Should I be worried about this?

Skipped pulses can be concerning, especially in older adults. It is important to have your grandma evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, she may benefit from taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow. Additionally, she should ensure proper hydration and electrolyte balance.
