I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

View allWhat are the signs of a silent heart attack for someone my age? I'm a young guy and just trying to understand what I should look out for.
A silent heart attack, also known as a silent myocardial infarction, can occur without the classic symptoms of chest pain. For young males, signs may include unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, discomfort in the upper back or jaw, nausea, sweating, or lightheadedness. These symptoms can be subtle and often mistaken for less serious conditions. It's crucial to be aware of these signs, especially if you have risk factors such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, or obesity. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical evaluation promptly.

I'm currently taking metoprolol 50mg every day, and I've been on it for the past three years. I have mitral stenosis and am starting to get concerned about any long-term side effects tied to metoprolol. Could you please let me know what I should keep an eye out for?
taking metoprolol 50mg for 3 years with mitral stenosis can have some long-term side effects. Some common side effects of long-term metoprolol use include fatigue, dizziness, slow heart rate, and cold hands or feet. In some cases, it can also lead to worsening of heart failure symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while taking metoprolol. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation

Heart function is less than fifty percent, which is pretty concerning. I'm wondering how I can improve it. Is it possible to fix this with medicine alone, or would I need something like a stent or another type of treatment? Any advice would be appreciated!
i means that there is systolic dysfunction or acute angina, papillary muscle dysfunction or any heart blocks..i would suggest an angiogram procedure to the patient to look into any pathological defects..Patient is advised DASH Diet , low sodium intake, consumption of green leafy negetables,fruits and legumes etc..
