I've been feeling my heart beat really fast and strong lately. Sometimes, I can even hear it pounding in my ears. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be dangerous? I'm just not sure what's going on and would love some advice.

I'm really concerned about my heart health right now. My ejection factor is 38, and my doctor recommends I get an angiogram. But to be honest, I'm pretty scared about going through that procedure. Is there any other way to help improve my heart ejection factor? For context, I dont have any bad habits, weigh 68 kg, and am 6 feet tall. Any advice would really help me out.

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

I'm really concerned about this chest pain I've been experiencing since September 2016. It's deep on the right side of my chest, and it's not sharp, but more like a burning sensation. It feels like there's this big hollow hole and sometimes it feels like something's writhing or like a contracting muscle in there. It's at its worst when I'm sitting up. The only time I feel a bit relieved is when I'm leaned back at least 45 degrees or lying down. Ive noticed it gets worse on days I dont get enough sleep, but it doesnt seem to be affected by food or anything else. I don't have trouble breathing, exercising, or sleeping, but this feeling is constantly there throughout the day. Sometimes it's so intense I have to pause everything and lie down. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
