Question 1

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing tightness in the middle of my chest and breathlessness for quite a long time, almost 8 to 9 months now. I got a chest X-ray and my lungs were clear, but I'm still having these issues. On top of that, my hands tend to get really cold. Could there be something else going on that I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

start steam inhalation and if it still not resolved consult a pulmonologist

Question 2

I've been experiencing chest pains that feel like gas for a couple of hours now. It really hurts when I move my left side or if I bend over. Plus, whenever I take a deep breath, I get really sharp pains that almost take my breath away. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Most likely to be musculoskeletal or gastritis..
At your age it's very unlikely to have a heart disease

Question 3

I'm wondering if taking a beta blocker before getting an ECG might hide any signs of a heart attack. Could it affect the results or mask any important signals that might indicate a problem?

Accepted Answer

Taking a beta blocker before an ECG can indeed affect the results by potentially masking or hiding signals of a heart attack. Beta blockers can lower heart rate and blood pressure, which may impact the ECG readings. It is generally recommended to avoid taking beta blockers before an ECG if there is suspicion of a heart attack. If you are scheduled for an ECG and are taking beta blockers, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider about whether to temporarily stop the medication before the test.

I'm feeling really tired and weak after my angioplasty. I'm also sweating a lot, and I've got these cold shivers. Walking is hard because of that, and I've noticed five black dots on the sole of my foot. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing all this?

It is post angioplasty complications.. The complications will settle within 2-3 days, if persisting cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient..
