The most accurate method to detect blocked arteries remains an invasive test called cardiac angiography, which requires a catheter to be threaded into heart vessels. But the signs of blocked arteries may also be seen on an ECG.

I'm wondering if you can help me understand what's going on with my blood pressure. It's been fluctuating a lot, sometimes shooting up to 180 over 110, and my pulse rate gets really high too. My heart and sugar levels are fine, but this blood pressure issue is worrying me. Do you have any advice or medication suggestions to help stabilize it?

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 72, because he's been having some issues with his heart not beating regularly. Lately, hes been feeling very weak. His echo cardiography says he has systolic failure, and his chest x-ray shows there's fluid in his chest. I'm not sure if I should be taking him to see a cardiologist or a pulmonologist? What could possibly be going on with him?

I'm a 25-year-old female and I've been having some chest discomfort along with feeling breathless. I'm also experiencing chills and sweating. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

These symptoms could be indicative of a variety of conditions, including anxiety, panic attacks, asthma, or even a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen and try to relax in a comfortable position.
