I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having lately. For the past week, I've had this pain in my left arm, shoulder, and back, along with trouble breathing. It just keeps coming and going. I've always had lower blood pressure, and now I'm also experiencing chest pain on my left side. Plus, if I try to take a deep breath, my whole back hurts. Could this be something serious?

View allI'm worried because I've noticed that my heartbeat seems irregular over the past couple of days. It's almost like my heart has these hiccups that occur about 57 times a day. While I'm not experiencing any pain, nausea, or discomfort, it just feels really strange to have this abnormal beat in between my normal heartbeats. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations that feel like your heart is pounding or racing. In your case, it seems like you are experiencing occasional irregular heartbeats. One common cause of palpitations is stress or anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take **Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor)** 25mg once daily. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that can help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, seek immediate medical attention.

So my 76-year-old mom, who's diabetic, has been diagnosed with a triple vessel block and just had an acute anterolateral wall MI. I'm really worried and trying to figure out whether a stent or a bypass would be the better option for her. Could you help me understand the pros and cons of each? I'm kind of at a loss here and would really appreciate your guidance.
For a 76-year-old diabetic patient with triple vessel blockage and acute anterolateral wall MI, treatment options include: Stent Placement 1. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Stenting can improve blood flow, but may require multiple procedures. 2. Advantages: Minimally invasive, quicker recovery. 3. Disadvantages: Higher restenosis risk, potential for stent thrombosis. Bypass Surgery (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting - CABG) 1. Surgical option: Bypass grafts reroute blood flow around blocked arteries. 2. Advantages: Higher success rate, lower restenosis risk, suitable for complex cases. 3. Disadvantages: Invasive, longer recovery, potential for graft failure.

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG results mention something called longitudinal left axis deviation. Is this a serious issue, and do you think I need any further tests or investigations?
Your ECG showing longitudinal left axis deviation may indicate certain heart conditions. Further investigations may be needed to determine the underlying cause and severity. You may need to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In terms of medication, there is no specific drug treatment for longitudinal left axis deviation itself.
