I'm experiencing some pain in my shoulder and arm, and it seems to be affecting the left side of my chest too. It's making it a bit hard to breathe. My current weight is 68 kg. Can you help me figure out what this might be?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. The combination of pain in the left shoulder, arm, and chest, along with breathing problems, could be indicative of a heart issue. One common condition that presents with these symptoms is angina. I recommend you to take Aspirin 325mg immediately and call emergency services. It is important to seek medical attention promptly in such cases.

View allSo, I found out about three weeks ago that I have sinus bradycardia, and my heart rate is 54. I've been doing annual health checkups, and noticed that last year my heart rate was also under 60. Can you help me understand what this all means? Should I be making any changes or taking any steps to address this? I'm pretty curious and a bit worried about what's next for me.
Sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart rate is lower than normal, specifically less than 60 beats per minute. In your case, with a heart rate of 54, it falls into the category of bradycardia. It can be a normal finding in some individuals, especially athletes, but it can also be a sign of an underlying medical issue. To determine the cause and appropriate management of your bradycardia, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include an ECG, Holter monitor, or other cardiac tests. Based on the underlying cause identified, treatment options may include medication or lifestyle modifications. In the meantime, it is important to monitor your symptoms, such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, and seek medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms. Avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise can also be beneficial.

I'm a bit confused and worried right now. My ECG report showed 206uV in the aVR lead with some ST elevation, but both the echostress test and MRI came back normal. The doctor told me that everything's fine, but I'm still concerned. Could you help me understand why there might be an elevation in the ECG, even when other tests seem normal?
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have ST elevation in AVR on your ECG report, but your echo, stress test, and MRI results are normal. If your doctor has reassured you that you are fine, you may not need any specific treatment at the moment. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups and monitoring. If you experience any new symptoms or concerns, please consult your doctor immediately."

I'm trying to understand what's included in an angiogram report. I received a printed report, but later found out there should also be a CD provided as evidence. When I asked the hospital about it, they gave me one, but only after charging me. I'm worried why they didn't give it to me initially. Is there something fishy going on? Shouldn't they provide the CD in case I need to get a second opinion from another doctor?
In an angiogram report, the findings typically include details about the blood vessels in the heart, any blockages or narrowing, and the overall condition of the heart. The report may also mention the presence of any plaques or clots. As for the CD with images, it usually contains visual images of the angiogram procedure for further reference or consultation with other healthcare providers. It is not uncommon for hospitals to charge for providing a CD of medical images, as there may be costs associated with creating and providing this additional documentation. While it is ideal for hospitals to provide all necessary information upfront, sometimes there may be administrative reasons for not including the CD initially. If you have concerns about the process or the completeness of the information provided, it is best to directly discuss this with the hospital or healthcare provider who conducted the angiogram. They should be able to address any questions or issues you may have regarding the report and CD.
