I'm having this recurring pain in my chest, like near my heart. It comes and goes on its own. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause of your chest pain. However, based on your description, it could be related to conditions such as angina or acid reflux. For temporary relief of chest pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm thinking about trying EECP therapy for my dad. He had a heart attack two years ago and he's got a stent in one artery, while the other two are clogged with 90% and 80% blockages. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural bypass therapy, and some hospitals do offer it. But I'm just not sure about the results. Is it really effective? Or would angioplasty be the better option here?
EECP therapy can be a beneficial option for your father's condition. It is a non-invasive treatment that can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle by promoting the development of collateral circulation. However, in the case of significant blockages like 90% and 80% in his arteries, angioplasty may be a more suitable option to directly address the blockages. For the blockages your father has, angioplasty with stent placement may be recommended to open up the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This procedure can help reduce symptoms and lower the risk of future heart-related complications. I recommend discussing these treatment options with your father's cardiologist to determine the most appropriate course of action based on his individual condition and medical history.

Olive oil, especially when substituted for animal fats like butter or lard, is another food that can help lower triglycerides.
