I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having chest pain and her ECG was abnormal, but her echo and TMT came out okay. Her blood tests showed she has diabetes and her thyroid level was at 10. The doctor gave her meds for the sugar and thyroid issues, but she's still in pain. What could be going on, and what should we do next?

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's continuing chest pain. Given that her ECG was abnormal but the echocardiogram (echo) and treadmill test (TMT) were normal, it's important to explore other potential causes of her chest pain, such as gastrointestinal issues, musculoskeletal problems, or anxiety. Since she has been diagnosed with diabetes and thyroid issues, it's critical to manage these conditions properly, as they can sometimes contribute to chest pain.
I recommend a follow-up with her healthcare provider to reassess her symptoms, review her medication regimen, and possibly consider additional tests like a chest X-ray or a consultation with a gastroenterologist depending on her symptoms.

My dad is 64 years old and weighs 100kg. Can he lose weight naturally without surgery and get down to 70-80kg? Is that even possible at his age?
The golden rules of weight loss still apply: Burn more calories than you eat or drink. Eat more veggies, fruits, whole grains, fish, beans, and low-fat or fat-free dairy; and keep meat and poultry lean. Limit empty calories, like sugars and foods with little or no nutritional value.
