View allI'm really confused and a bit anxious about this chest tightness that happens whenever I lie down flat or stretch my left hand. It's been going on for about three months. I went to an orthopedic doctor who said it's probably due to poor posture and muscle spasm. Then I saw a cardiologist, had all the tests like ECG, echocardiogram, TMT, and even checked my cholesterol and BP. Everything was normal except for my cholesterol which was a bit high at 196, and LDL at 121.8. The cardiologist said I don't have heart issues and just need to change my lifestyle and lose some weight. But I wanted a second opinion, so I visited another cardiologist and even without any new tests, he said the same thing that everything's normal. Still, I feel this tightness at night and sometimes it makes me sweat and I get really scared thinking it might be a heart attack. When I went back to the cardiologist, he reassured me again. So, should I keep doing ECGs every time I feel this tightness or maybe see a pulmonologist? Why does this keep happening if everything's supposed to be normal?
since your age is not too much i suggest reduce your anxiety related to heart attack. try doing some exercise

I'm really worried about my dad. He's had a stroke and a bypass in the past, and his heart rate usually hangs around 55 to 60. I've heard about Chymoral AP and Myoril for his lower back pain, but I'm concerned if it's safe for him to take because of his heart condition. Could you please guide me on this?
Chymoral AP and Myoril can be risky for your father due to his history of stroke and bypass surgery, as well as his low heart rate. Chymoral AP contains Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Paracetamol which can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in patients with a history of stroke. Myoril contains Thiocolchicoside which can cause muscle weakness and dizziness, potentially increasing the risk of falls in someone with a history of stroke. Given his low heart rate, both medications can further lower the heart rate and blood pressure, leading to complications. It is important to consult with his healthcare provider to find a safer alternative for his lower back pain.

I can see my pulse visibly pulsating right below my thumb. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it sure looks odd. I don't remember seeing it there before, or maybe I just never noticed it. Should I be worried or is this normal?
it is normal don't worry about it
