I'm a bit worried about heart health and wanted to ask. What are some early signs I should watch out for that might suggest a heart attack? And how long do those symptoms usually last before it gets serious? Also, I've heard about angina and heart attacks, but I'm not quite sure how they're different. Could you explain that for me?

View allI'm 24 and I've been noticing my heart rate is usually under 60 beats a minute. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? I weigh 120kg, and I'm 5'10". Also, I was diagnosed with GERD a few weeks back and have been on medication for it. Is it okay for my resting heart rate to be in the 50s?
A resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is known as bradycardia. In your case, with a history of GERD and being on medication, it is important to consider the overall clinical picture. However, in general, a heart rate in the 50s can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Given your weight and height, it would be advisable to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. It is important to ensure that your GERD medication is not causing any adverse effects on your heart rate.

I'm having this persistent pain right in the middle of my chest and it's really starting to worry me. It's always there, and now I'm also experiencing trouble breathing. Could this be something serious?
Since your symptoms have been persistent and involve chest pain and difficulty breathing, I highly recommend that you seek immediate medical attention. A healthcare professional will likely conduct a thorough evaluation, which could include: Physical examination Blood tests to check for signs of infection or heart problems Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for heart-related issues Chest X-ray to rule out lung issues Echocardiogram (if heart-related issues are suspected) When to Seek Urgent Medical Help: Severe chest pain, especially if it radiates to the arms, neck, jaw, or back, or if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or have nausea. Difficulty breathing that worsens or if you have shortness of breath at rest. Any other symptoms like sweating, fainting, or swelling.
