I'm having chest pain for the past 20 days and it's getting worse. I saw a gastric doctor, but it didn't help. I have diabetes and I'm on insulin. I just visited a pulmonologist who did a chest X-ray and gave me digestive tablets and tonic. Should I be doing more tests or is this the right way to go?

My mom has severe pulmonary stenosis and right heart failure, and lately she's been too weak for any physical activity. She's on diuretics and lanoxin but some surgeons said she can't handle open heart surgery. What do you think would be the best treatment options or medications for her condition
Given that open heart surgery is not an option, focusing on symptom management and exploring less invasive options like balloon valvuloplasty is crucial. Medications like diuretics and digoxin (Lanoxin) should be optimized, and additional medications might be considered to manage right heart failure. Lifestyle changes, such as a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise as tolerated, can also help
