I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for a few weeks now. Sometimes it spreads to my left arm and upper back, which is really scary. I've noticed that my heart's been beating really fast a couple of times this month, and when that happens, I start sweating and feel hot all over. I actually thought I might be having a heart attack. I went ahead and had an ECG done, and it says sinus tachycardia and nonspecific t abnormalities in the inferior leads. Should I be concerned about this? Also, I've taken medication for depression beforecould that be connected somehow?

I'm really worried about my brother. He had a heart attack in March 2017, and it turned out he had a 100% blockage in a left artery. He's been taking meds like planep 25mg, sexeloxon, and roustor gold10 to help with this. I'm just wondering, can medication actually remove the blockage, or is that not possible? And how do we even check if the blockage has improved or if it's still completely blocked?

To check if the blockage has been reduced or is still at 100%, he can undergo a diagnostic test called a coronary angiography. This procedure will provide detailed images of the arteries and can show if there has been any improvement in the blockage. It is important to follow up with his cardiologist for further evaluation and management."
