I'm 52 and had bypass surgery back in 2004. Right now, I'm getting chelation treatment for my heart (35EF). I'm not sure if this is the best option for me can you explain whether chelation treatment is really helpful in my case?

Stop this treatment immediately. At present this treatment is not advocated by any professional cardiac society. U may end up having kidney failure. Always get time tested therapies. If y want u can get second opinion by other certified cardiologist

View allI experienced some pain in my left chest yesterday and remembered that I had an ECG done on December 8th. The results mentioned something about a "Non-specific T-wave abnormality." Could you help me understand what this means? I'm feeling a bit concerned about it.
Non-specific T-wave abnormalities on an ECG indicate changes in the heart's electrical activity that are not specific to any particular condition. It can be seen in various situations such as electrolyte imbalances, medication side effects, or even normal variation. It is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and medical history. For chest pain, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing some occasional tingling or numbness on the left side of my chest, like maybe twice a week. It doesn't really hurt or anything. I've read online that it might be related to anxiety, but I don't feel anxious or stressed out. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or is it something normal?
Ecg is recommended along with serum electrolytes..

I've read that a normal resting heart rate is between 60-100, but mine usually stays around 53-55. I'm 45 years old, and I've been on blood pressure medication for 25 years now. At the moment, I'm taking Metoprolol 25 in the morning and Telday 40 at night. My ECG results were normal, but my echocardiogram showed normal results with reduced diastolic compliance. Should I be worried about my heart rate?
Given your age and medical history, it may not be a cause for immediate concern, especially if your ECG was normal and your echo showed normal findings with reduced diastolic compliance. To address your worries about your heart rate, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage. In the meantime, continue monitoring your heart rate regularly and report any significant changes or symptoms to your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience concerns about your heart rate, your doctor may consider adjusting your metoprolol dosage or exploring other treatment options. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual health status. Take care and stay healthy.
