I'm experiencing this weird upper left chest pain that's been going on for the last three days, it seems to come back every few months or weeks. Thankfully it's stopped now, but I'm worried because now my left hand thumb's base has started hurting for two days. Could you help me figure out what's going on here? Why does this keep happening?

My dad just had a 2D Echo after his ECG showed an irregular heartbeat, and I'm a bit worried. The report mentions grade 2 Diastolic Dysfunction and says something about an aortic valve being sclerotic. How serious is this? He's been feeling really weak and lethargic lately. What can we do to help him feel better?

I'm feeling a bit concerned. I had an angioplasty with a stent placed and went for a follow-up after 7 days like the doctor suggested. But now I'm feeling this weird pricking sensation and some discomfort. Is that kind of pricking feeling normal after you get a stent placed?

yes .
