I'm having trouble breathing when I lie on my back, and I've been dealing with chest pain. There's no constant cough, but I do cough sometimes, and I haven't had a fever. I've also been experiencing nausea and the urge to vomit, along with shortness of breath. Every now and then, my head spins, and I start sweating and feeling numbness in my body. It's been about 57 days now with the breathing trouble, short breath, and chest painshould I be worried? Is it safe for me to visit a hospital right now?

View allI'm having these heart palpitations in my chest, left arm, and left leg for months now. They get worse at night and right after I wake up. Plus, I often feel really tired and out of breath. It's so frustrating and starting to affect my mood. Do you think this is something to do with my heart, or could it be linked to anxiety and depression?
It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. However, based on your symptoms of heart palpitations, tiredness, breathlessness, and irritability, it is possible that you may be experiencing a cardiac issue. It is recommended to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram) done to evaluate your heart's electrical activity. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help with the heart palpitations. Additionally, if anxiety and depression are contributing to your symptoms, you can consider taking Sertraline (brand name: Zoloft) 50mg once daily to help manage these conditions.

Angioplasty with stent placement was done on me about 2 years ago. I'm on a daily South Indian diet and I'm curious if you could help recommend an ideal diet plan that's still in line with South Indian cuisine. We usually cook with unrefined Gingelly oil, and I'm wondering if that's a healthy choice or if I should be considering a different type of oil. Any advice?
yes

I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?
A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.
