I've been having chest pain when I take deep breaths, mostly in the upper part of my chest. I looked it up online, and based on my symptoms, it says surgery might be needed. Could this be GERD or something else?

Chest pain, especially when taking deep breaths, can have several causes, including GERD, lung conditions, heart problems, and even anxiety. While GERD is a possibility, it's important to rule out other conditions like pneumonia or pulmonary embolism, as they can also cause chest pain with deep breathing. It's crucial to seek medical advice to determine the specific cause of your chest pain and receive appropriate treatment

So my 76-year-old mom, who's diabetic, has been diagnosed with a triple vessel block and just had an acute anterolateral wall MI. I'm really worried and trying to figure out whether a stent or a bypass would be the better option for her. Could you help me understand the pros and cons of each? I'm kind of at a loss here and would really appreciate your guidance.

Question

Hey, I'm really concerned about my mother-in-law. She had a heart attack yesterday and she's in the hospital being watched by the doctors. They've done an ECG but haven't done angiography or an Echo yet. Is angiography absolutely necessary after a heart attack? If it is, why might the doctors be taking so long to do it? I'm not sure how urgent this procedure isshouldn't it be done quickly after the heart attack? She's stable for now, she can talk, but she's experiencing some pain in her back. I tried asking one of the doctors about the angiography and ended up getting yelled at, which has left me feeling frustrated and worried about what's happening. Is delaying angiography risky? Should we consider moving her to a different hospital?
