My 72-year-old father is weak and sometimes has high BP. He takes ecospirin AV 75 every night. His ECG report shows sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. The ECG is abnormal. Should he keep taking ecospirin AV 75? Does he need any surgery based on these findings? What should we do next?

Question

I've been having a pounding heart and sometimes feel dizzy for about a week now. It even happens when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?

Question

I'm feeling a heavy sensation in my chest, and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. I've also been dealing with some stomach issues. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be concerned?

I'm feeling really worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing. I've been having mild chest pain in both my chest and some pain in my shoulder and back when I'm at rest. My ECG showed WPW, but my echocardiogram came back normal. The doctor mentioned these symptoms aren't cardiac-related, which was a relief at first, but then my routine TMT test came back positive with a report of ST depression ischemia. I'm also concerned about my cholesterol levels, with total cholesterol at 139, HDL at 33, and LDL at 103. Given my situation and age, is there some risk I should be aware of? What should I do because I'm really worried about my health? By the way, I don't feel any pain while I'm working or walking.
