My dad had some trouble with his breathing yesterday, so we rushed him to the hospital, and they said it's mitral stenosis. I'm really worried. Is this something serious? What steps should we be taking now?

I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side where my heart is, and sometimes it even happens on the right side. It doesn't stop there though; I've noticed random pains around my body, especially in my left arm and a bit in my left shoulder. I went to the doctor, and she told me my hearts fine and suggested it might be Acid Reflux. But I'm still worried because I've read that pain in the left arm and shoulder can signal a heart attack. Should I be concerned or look out for anything else?

What do you think it means when my ECG shows a T wave inversion and my echo test results are fine, but my TMT test comes back positive? These have been the results for the past ten years. Now I've also caught COVID-19 with a mild lung infection. Any advice?

based on your description of T wave inversion in ECG, a positive TMT test for the past 10 years, and mild COVID-19 infection in the lungs, it suggests that you may have a long-standing cardiac issue. The T wave inversion in ECG can indicate heart muscle ischemia or other cardiac problems. Since your TMT test has been positive for the past 10 years, it indicates that there is a likelihood of coronary artery disease or heart-related issues. In this case, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. You may consider taking medications such as Aspirin and Atorvastatin to reduce the risk of heart complications. Additionally, for your mild COVID-19 infection, it is crucial to follow the prescribed treatment plan, rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your symptoms closely. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm wondering if an ECG can actually catch all heart-related problems. I just had an ECG done and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Is it still possible that I could have some kind of heart issue even if the ECG didn't show anything?

A normal ECG result does not completely rule out all heart problems. While an ECG is a valuable tool in detecting certain heart conditions, it may not always detect all types of heart problems. It is possible to have heart issues that are not evident on an ECG. If you have concerns about your heart health, it is important to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management.
