I'm experiencing some discomfort and heaviness in my upper chest and it's spreading to the right side of my back. Plus, my right hand is feeling numb. Should I be worried about this mix of chest pain and numbness? What do you think it could be?

View allHow do I know if my chest pain is serious?
Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note, if chest pain is associated with heart burn, abdominal bloating, belching then it may be due to gastritis which may be managed at home. If chest pain is sudden, radiating to left arm/ shoulder and is associated with sweating, breathing issue then it may be due to a cardiac condition which needs immediate hospital visit.

I can hear my heartbeat when I lay down, and sometimes my shirt even moves with it. I can actually see it happening. My ECG came back normal, so I'm curious about what's going on. What could be causing this?
When you hear your heart sound when lying down and notice movement of your t-shirt along with it, it could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus. This can occur when there is an increase in blood flow near the ear, causing you to hear your heartbeat. In this case, you can try using a white noise machine or background music to help mask the sound. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may need to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to understand the results of a recent angiogram and I'd love some clarity. It mentions a right femoral arterial approach with a normal LMCA, but there's a 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD and a 50% stenosis distally in the LCX. It also says the OM has a 90% stenosis in a small vessel, and the RCA has a 40% stenosis proximally. The renal angiogram shows everything is normal for both kidneys. My biggest worry is about the critical stenosis in the LAD. What does all this mean for my heart health, and what kind of treatment or lifestyle changes should I be considering?
Angioplasty is advised and a cardiologist opinion.
