I've been dealing with some chest pain for the past couple of days. It's kind of in the chest area and I've noticed it spreading to my shoulder and back too. The pain isn't super intense, more like a discomfort or small pressure. Also, my body temperature seems to be fluctuating a lot, like I feel hot one moment and cold the next. What could this be?

I'm 75 years old and had bypass surgery in 1990. I've been told there's now a mild block in my artery, and I'm concerned about how to manage this. I'm also experiencing some breathing problems. Could you advise me on what steps I can take to address these issues?

For the mild blockage in your artery and breathing problem, you can take medications to help manage these conditions. 1. For the mild blockage in your artery, you can take a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. To improve your breathing, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your conditions and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I think I might have angina because I'm experiencing chest pains. I also have high blood pressure and was born with a slight blockage. I'm just 18 and I'm not sure how to talk to my parents about this. Honestly, I'm scared to go to a hospital. If I manage to lower my blood pressure, do you think it'll help with these symptoms? This has been happening for the past two days and I'm pretty worried. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, especially given your history of high blood pressure and a slight blockage. Lowering your blood pressure may help alleviate some symptoms, but it is important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take aspirin to help with chest pain. Please take one low-dose aspirin (81mg) and chew it to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Make sure to inform your parents about your symptoms and seek medical help as soon as possible.

I'm 29 and just had some tests done, including an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the results came back normal, but there was a note in my ECHO report about "LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2." My cardiologist said it's normal and nothing to worry about, but I'm still a bit concerned. I don't smoke or drink and I'm not overweight. I did some Googling and found different explanations about that note, which is making me a bit anxious. I also didn't sleep well only about 4 hours the night before the tests and wore double masks during them. Could any of that have impacted the results? Just want to make sure there's nothing I should be concerned about.

"Based on your description, it seems like you are concerned about the comment in your ECHO report regarding LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2. Your cardiologist has reassured you that it is normal and nothing to worry about, which is a good sign. LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 indicates some stiffness in the left ventricle of your heart during the relaxation phase, but it is a common finding and may not necessarily indicate any serious issues. Considering your age, lifestyle habits, and the fact that all your other tests (ECG, TMT) are normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Factors such as inadequate sleep and wearing double masks during the tests could have influenced the results slightly. To further support your heart health, you can focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. If you have any specific symptoms or concerns in the future, do not hesitate to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. No specific medication is required for LV diastolic dysfunction grade 2 at this stage. Just continue with your healthy habits and follow up with your cardiologist as recommended for routine check-ups."
