I went to urgent care yesterday for chest pain. They told me that my EKG said that my heart might not be getting enough blood/oxygen flow on the right side, and could have been from a mini heat attack from smoking even though I’m only 17. Should I go to the hospital since I’ve had this pain now for about 3 days?..

Female | 17

I'd advise that you go to see a cardiologist very soon. Chest pain may present very serious issues with the heart, especially at your age. A cardiologist would further investigate the etiology by doing an echocardiogram or a stress test and then give appropriate management.

My dad had Bypass surgery a one half month back and since that day onwards he is getting dry cough with no mucus, we met operating doctor and although he gave medicines its not controlling plz suggest something what should I do

Multiple factors may cause a persisting dry cough following bypass surgery – medication reaction or due to the surgical procedure itself. Follow up with your dad’s cardiologist who operated on him. If the current treatment does not work, they may need to change his medicines or find other reasons for coughing. Furthermore, it could be beneficial to consult a pulmonologist because sometimes lung related problems might be causing the problem. The best way to deal with this symptom effectively while ensuring your dad’s comfort and recovery is through prompt, proper medical evaluation.

My open heart surgery done in 1st Jan.2018.in left arm always pain persist. whole body became hard. what is matter.

As per my understanding you are having left arm pain post CABG, also your body becomes stiff. Whenever a patient is having Left arm pain espically with history of CAD, the first thing is to rule out cardiac pathology. Immediately visit a cardiologist. He will carefully evaluate the current condition of the patient. Differentiate between cardiac causes and non cardiac cause of left arm pain. Non cardiac causes can be treated medically; in case of cardiac causes a detailed evaluation is needed. Some diagnostic test may also be done to know the exact cause and decide on the treatment. Consult a cardiologist. Hope our answer helps you. For cardiologists, visit this page, it may help - 10 Best Cardiologist in India.

Hello.. Iam 65. It's been a week I had my mitral valve replacement. Doctors replaced my mitral valve with mechanical valve.Is mechanical valve safe for me? As my age is 65..? Please reply me..

Female | 65

Mechanical valves are safe for most patients, even for those who are 65 years old but there are some risks. Patients with mechanical valves need to take blood thinning medication for the rest of their lives to prevent blood clots from forming on the valve, which can be a serious complication.

It sounds like you might be experiencing orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure when you stand up. This can cause blurry vision and a feeling of blood rushing from your head. It's important to consult a cardiologist or a general physician to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have a heart rate of around 96 during resting, and could rise up to 110 or 111 during resting. I calculated this through Apple Watch.

Male | 15

The heart rate between 60-100 beats per minute is normal, but 96-111 BPM is not normal during the resting period and may indicate an underlying condition. You should consult a cardiologist for an evaluation if you additionally have these symptoms.

Echogenic focus seen in left ventricle massuring approximately 2.9mm it's normal?

Female | 26

You have an echogenic focus measuring 2.9 mm in the left ventricle - this is often a meaningless discovery that isn’t associated with symptoms. This can happen when there are tiny deposits inside the heart muscle. The heart is still by all means okay with it. Always remember to check it during the regularly scheduled visits to make certain that everything is within normal limits.

Male | 26

Based on your description, it is likely that you are experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. This can be caused by poor posture or muscle strain. However, since you have already consulted with multiple doctors and the symptoms continue to persist, it is recommended that you visit a specialist such as a cardiologist or pulmonologist to rule out any underlying cardiovascular or respiratory conditions.

Male | 37

A blood pressure reading of 129/83 will most likely be within the normal range. On the other hand, talk to a doctor if you have any misgivings with your blood pressure because you have underlying conditions. You consult a cardiologist to have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment for your hypertension.
