I've been having this weird chest pain around my sternum and in the center of my back. It's been going on for a few days now and usually hits me with cold sweats and heat waves. I also get this sharp pain on the left side of my breast whenever I walk. I thought it might just be a hangover, but its been three days and it just seems... off. Should I be worried about this?

View allI'm really concerned because my dad just had Angioplasty and Thrombosuction after he suffered a major heart attack last week. Now he's experiencing pain in the fingers of the hand that was used for the procedure. Has anyone seen this before, and what should we do about it?
Pain in the fingers of the hand used for angioplasty could be due to several factors, including irritation from the catheter insertion site, bruising, or local inflammation. It's important to monitor the area for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge. Resting the hand and applying a cold compress can help alleviate discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, or if there are signs of infection or compromised blood flow (such as color changes in the fingers or numbness), please contact your father's healthcare provider promptly for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to understand what "mild left axis deviation" means since it's shown up in my ECG results. I'm feeling a bit worried and unsure about what this indicates. Is there a specific medicine or treatment I should consider? Any advice or insights would be really helpful.
Mild left axis deviation on an ECG indicates a slight deviation in the electrical activity of the heart towards the left side. This can be a normal variant for some individuals, but it can also be associated with certain heart conditions. It is important to correlate this finding with your overall health status and any symptoms you may be experiencing. For mild left axis deviation without any underlying heart condition or symptoms, no specific medication may be necessary. However, if there are other heart issues present, your doctor may prescribe medications such as **Metoprolol** at a dosage of 25-100mg per day to help manage the condition and reduce the risk of complications. Always follow your doctor's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your heart health.
