I'm really worried about what to do if someone has a heart attack before we can get them to the hospital. Is there a specific tablet that's recommended to take beforehand to help prevent any more damage to the heart?

Question

I'm having this pain or pressure in my chest, and sometimes my heart starts beating really fast. The pain goes from the middle of my chest up to my upper throat. What could be going on?

I'm trying to understand what's included in an angiogram report. I received a printed report, but later found out there should also be a CD provided as evidence. When I asked the hospital about it, they gave me one, but only after charging me. I'm worried why they didn't give it to me initially. Is there something fishy going on? Shouldn't they provide the CD in case I need to get a second opinion from another doctor?

Question

I'm feeling pretty anxious because I've been experiencing shortness of breath for a few months now. I had an echo and ECG done, and the results said everything was normal except for something called grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means, and even though my doctor said its nothing to worry about, I'm still a bit concerned. Could you help explain what grade 1 diastolic dysfunction is and whether it could be causing my symptoms? Should I be doing anything specific to manage it?
