I've been feeling a bit off with some discomfort and pressure in the middle of my chest for the past four days. It kind of comes and goes, and sometimes it suddenly gets really painful. I have this fear of vomiting (emetophobia) so anything unusual with my body really freaks me out. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

-Chest discomfort can sometimes be linked to things like indigestion or stress, but if it's been ongoing and sudden, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out anything serious, especially with your fear of vomiting. Your health and peace of

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Telvas H and Nebicard 2.5 along with Amaryl M1, but recently she's been having these heart palpitations and feeling super uneasy after taking the Amaryl.

What should we do to help her feel better?

I'm really concerned about some recent findings on my coronary vessels. I've got an 80% lesion in the LAD vessel from the proximal to the mid-long segment, and then a 70% lesion in the distal long segment. Plus, there's a 90% lesion at the ostium of the D1 small vessel. On top of that, my RCA vessel has a total 100% blockage, but it's still somehow filling via bridging collaterals and retrogradely through the left coronary injection. Should I be worried about these percentages and the way my heart is compensating? What kind of treatment might be recommended in this situation?
The condition you have described is quite serious and involves multiple blockages in your coronary arteries. To address the blockages, a combination of medications and procedures may be necessary. For the 80% lesion in the ostial portion of the LAD 3 vessel, a stent placement procedure may be considered to improve blood flow. Similarly, for the 70% lesion in the proximal to mid long segment of the LAD 3 vessel, another stent placement or angioplasty may be recommended. The 80% lesion in the distal long segment of the LAD 3 vessel may also require intervention such as stenting. For the D1 small vessel with a 90% lesion, a stent placement or angioplasty may be necessary to restore blood flow. The RCA vessel with a 100% lesion in the mid portion may require more aggressive treatment such as bypass surgery. In the meantime, medications like aspirin, clopidogrel, statins, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm trying to understand the difference between heart palpitations and arrhythmia. Could you explain how they're different and if one is more serious than the other?
A "heart palpitation" is the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or pounding in your chest, which can be caused by various factors including stress, caffeine, or even just a temporary electrical glitch in your heart, while an "arrhythmia" is a medical term for an abnormal heart rhythm, meaning your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow, and can sometimes be a more serious underlying condition that may or may not cause noticeable palpitations
