I've been experiencing pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm for a few days now, and I'm starting to get really worried. I went ahead and got an ECG, echo, and TMT done. I've attached all the reports here. Do you think this could be related to my heart? Which specialist should I consult about this? I'm really anxious about what's going on.

Based on the symptoms you described and the tests you have done, it is important to rule out any heart-related issues. The ECG, echo, and TMT reports will provide valuable information to determine the cause of your chest pain and left arm pain. Considering your symptoms and the tests done, it is advisable to start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential heart issues. Additionally, you should consult a Cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. It is important to follow up with the Cardiologist regularly and adhere to their treatment plan.

ECG report showing low voltage can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to further evaluate the cause of low voltage.

My dad is 62 and he's been pretty active, walking around 4 to 5 kilometers every day and maintaining a positive attitude overall. He has high blood pressure, something that runs in our family. I've started keeping an eye on his heart rate, and I noticed it's usually around 57 beats per minute and sometimes even drops to 50. Should I be worried about this, and do you think he needs to see a doc for a check-up?
A resting heart rate of 50-57 beats per minute is generally considered to be within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who are physically active like your father. However, since your father has a history of high blood pressure and his heart rate occasionally drops to 50, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying heart conditions or medication side effects that may be contributing to the lower heart rate. It's important to have a comprehensive evaluation to ensure his heart health is optimal.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had bypass surgery back in September 2022, and every now and then she gets this angina-like pain near the stitches in her chest. It's really unsettling. Plus, she's dealing with type 2 diabetes and thyroid issues too. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what we should do about it?
It is important to manage angina pain effectively, especially after bypass surgery. I recommend she takes Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The dosage is usually 0.3 to 0.4 mg every 5 minutes for up to three doses. Additionally, she can take Aspirin to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. The usual dosage is 81mg to 325mg once daily. Since she is diabetic, it's crucial to control her blood sugar levels. She can take Metformin to help manage her diabetes. The usual starting dose is 500mg or 850mg once daily with meals. For her thyroid condition, she can continue taking Levothyroxine to regulate her thyroid hormone levels. The dosage will depend on her TSH levels as determined by her doctor.
