What should we do if a heart attack or stroke happens? My dad recently had one, and I'm worried about what steps we need to take to care for him properly. Could you give some advice or tips on what precautions are important in these situations?

View allI'm worried about a high troponin level of 22.4. Can this be treated with medication, or does it mean I need to be admitted or go through some kind of procedure?

I'm curious if it's possible for someone my age, 23, to have heart problems. If it is, what might cause it? I'm hopeful for some clarity on this.
Yes, it is possible for a 23 year old to have heart problems. One possible reason could be a condition called "congenital heart disease," which means the person is born with a heart defect. Other reasons could include infections, inflammatory conditions like myocarditis, or even lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or substance abuse. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm feeling really concerned because for the last 23 days I've been having this chest pain on the left side. It spreads to my left hand and even down to my wrist. It feels like my chest is being squeezed, and at times it's like someone's poking me with a pin. The pain sometimes goes to my back too. About six months ago, I had this pain that felt like a mild heart attack. Do you think this could be something serious?
Chest pain, especially when radiating to the arm and back, could be a sign of a heart issue. Given your past experience, I strongly recommend that you seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any serious heart conditions.
