I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having some discomfort in his left hand, and sometimes right hand, that goes up to his wrist and neck. He's 55 and has been experiencing this for the past few months. His cholesterol levels are at 225, and his blood pressure is around 13075. Do you think these could be signs of a pre-heart attack? I would really appreciate any advice.

These symptoms could indeed be concerning for potential heart issues. It is important to act promptly. I recommend that your father take Aspirin 81mg immediately to help prevent blood clot formation. Additionally, he should take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief of chest pain or discomfort. It is crucial to seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible.

View allI'm 24 and recently found out I have sinus tachycardia and Grade 1 MVP. My Holter monitor showed a few ectopics, and I've been having anxiety that pushes my heart rate to around 130 bpm when I go out. My doctor suggested taking INDERAL 10 twice a day, but I'm worried. I've heard that once you start on beta blockers, you can't stop them. Is that true? Should I really begin this medication?
Inderal (propranolol) can be an effective treatment for managing your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. However, it is essential to work closely with your doctor to ensure the medication is appropriately adjusted for your need

I'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?
