I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having this heaviness in my chest, but it's only on the left side. Sometimes there's a bit of pain there too. Plus, my upper back on the left side is hurting as well. It's been going on for about a year now. I did a full body checkup in the first week of January and everything came back normal. What should I do now? Who should I see for this? Are there any specific tests you recommend?

Why do heart attacks happen at night?

Researchers found that at around 6:30 a.m. the circadian system sends out an increased amount of PAI-1 cells which blocks blood clots from breaking down. The more PAI-1 cells in the blood, the higher the risk for a blood clot that leads to a heart attack

I had an angiography and the doctor recommended bypass surgery but I don't have any pain right now and can manage my daily routine. However, I notice my breath gets heavy after walking 200-300 meters. Can you suggest a good doctor in Mira Road who specializes in this?

To find a good cardiologist in Mira Road specializing in bypass surgery, it's recommended to seek a second opinion from a different cardiologist in the area. You can also search for cardiologists specializing in bypass surgery through online directories like Justdial or Wockhardt Hospitals.
