I've been having pain in the middle of my chest around the breastbone or sternum for a few weeks now. It comes and goes but seems to be getting more painful. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?

View allI've been dealing with low blood pressure, and whenever I'm lying down, it drops to around 90 over 55. It's pretty unsettling because I feel lightheaded when that happens. I've tried drinking saltwater and coffee, but it doesn't seem to help much. I've read that having a low diastolic blood pressure could lead to heart failure since the coronary heart artery gets its supply during diastole. Is this true? And what steps can I take to prevent my blood pressure from falling below safe levels? Also, is having such low blood pressure dangerous?
Low blood pressure can indeed lead to symptoms like lightheadedness, especially when changing positions. To help manage your low blood pressure, you can try increasing your salt intake and staying hydrated. Additionally, wearing compression stockings can help improve blood flow. In terms of medication, you can consider taking Midodrine to help raise your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for proper management.

I'm experiencing a bit of chest pressure both in the mornings when I wake up and again at night. It's starting to really worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm genuinely concerned.
A small chest pressure in the morning and at night could be due to acid reflux or heartburn. I would recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed after meals and before bedtime. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my mom's condition. The doctors have found she has a ventricular septal defect and mentioned that an operation right now is pretty risky. Is there any other treatment option we could consider to help her?
