I'm really worried about a loved one who's at risk for a heart attack. I've been reading a bit and came across the term "loading dose." Could you explain when it's appropriate to use a loading dose for someone having a heart attack? Also, I'm curious about how it should be administered to a person. Lastly, could you walk me through the basic steps of first aid for a heart attack?

I recently had an ECG because I've been experiencing some mild chest pain. My doctor said it was gastric pain, but the ECG report showed a borderline sinus rhythm and some non-specific T wave abnormalities. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Should I be worried about these results? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.

I'm 49 years old and have been taking amlopin 2.5 for about 5 months now. My blood pressure is usually around 13585, and even though my ECG is normal, I've been feeling some unusual symptoms. Sometimes it feels like my heart is racing or beating irregularly, and I'm worried it might be causing arrhythmia or tachycardia. Can amlopin lead to this kind of fast heartbeat? Should I be concerned or look into this further?
