I'm having this persistent pain right in the middle of my chest and it's really starting to worry me. It's always there, and now I'm also experiencing trouble breathing. Could this be something serious?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Since your symptoms have been persistent and involve chest pain and difficulty breathing, I highly recommend that you seek immediate medical attention. A healthcare professional will likely conduct a thorough evaluation, which could include:
Physical examination Blood tests to check for signs of infection or heart problems Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for heart-related issues Chest X-ray to rule out lung issues Echocardiogram (if heart-related issues are suspected) When to Seek Urgent Medical Help: Severe chest pain, especially if it radiates to the arms, neck, jaw, or back, or if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or have nausea. Difficulty breathing that worsens or if you have shortness of breath at rest. Any other symptoms like sweating, fainting, or swelling.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my heart rate. It's usually around 96, but it goes up to 120 when I walk. I don't have any other symptoms and I've had a thyroid test, ECG, and echo done, all of which came back normal. The only thing on the ECG was sinus tachycardia. I did have mild Covid last April. Should I be worried about this, or will my heart rate settle down on its own over time?
Sinus tachycardia is a common condition where the heart rate is elevated but the heart rhythm is normal. Since your thyroid, ECG, and echo results are normal, and considering your history of mild COVID-19 last year, your elevated heart rate may be due to post-viral effects. In most cases, sinus tachycardia resolves on its own as the body recovers from the viral illness. To help manage your heart rate, you can try to reduce stress, stay hydrated, and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. Monitoring your heart rate regularly and following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation is recommended.

My dad's angiogram showed a 95% block in his LAD, but the SPECT test said only 25-30% of his heart muscle is viable. The PET CT later showed 60% hibernating myocardium that's still viable. Should we go for revascularization, and if so, would a stent or bypass be better? What are the risks, or can we just stick to meds since he's stable right now?
Medicine is very important before and after procedure but it's not enough in this case Lucky no pain gives you time but few of left myocardial muscle will die if we don't give blood to it so sitting on it is not a good idea Than should not have done all scans because now they are telling you to act upon Single block easily removed by stent takes ten minutes and. 20 years results comparable to bypass . I would get myself cut for no reason Bypass is optional if stent can't be done or too many blocks
