I'm feeling this weird chest pain mostly around my heart, and it happens a lot when I breathe. My heart rate's been really fast too, and I can't stop feeling jittery. Should I be worried about this? What's going on?

View allIt's been 4 years since my dad had an angioplasty, and he hasn't had any follow-ups. He just can't seem to quit chewing smokeless tobacco. I'm really worried if this habit could affect his heart again. He's also having some tooth pain lately but insists that there's no connection between tobacco chewing and heart issues or even toothaches. Is there a medical way to help curb his cravings for tobacco?
Your dad's continued smokeless tobacco chewing significantly increases his risk of another heart attack, as it raises blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiovascular stress, while also potentially leading to tooth pain, gum recession, and oral cancer; to help him manage cravings, consider consulting a doctor about prescription medications like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion (Zyban), or varenicline (Chantix), or non-pharmacological approaches like counseling or support groups; regarding his tooth pain, insist he visits a dentist to rule out tobacco-related oral health issues.

I'm a bit concerned about the results from my recent cardiac reports. Everything came back normal except the echocardiography, which indicated a mild mitral prolapse. Should I be worried about this?
Mild mitral valve prolapse is usually not a cause for concern and often does not require treatment. It is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups to monitor your heart health. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath, you should consult your doctor. No specific medication is required for mild mitral valve prolapse.

I'm experiencing chest pain and back pain along with breathing problems. My doctor said it might be due to gas issues, but I'm still feeling tightness in my chest and having trouble breathing. Could it be something else, or should I just wait it out a bit longer?
