I'm a 28-year-old female and I've been experiencing this pain between my breastbone. It happened again today while I was sleeping, and it lasted for about 3 to 4 hours. I remember feeling the same thing around 4 months ago, but it also only happens during sleep. I have no medical history to speak of. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

View allI'm really worried about someone close to me whos been diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. How long do you think they might be able to live with this condition?
The lifespan with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) varies significantly depending on many factors, including age at diagnosis, overall health, lifestyle changes, adherence to treatment, and response to medications. With modern treatments and proper medical care, many people with DCM can live for many years or even decades after diagnosis. The 5-year survival rate has improved significantly in recent decades, especially for those who receive early treatment and follow their doctor's recommendations. Rather than focusing on general statistics, it's best to discuss your specific case with your healthcare team, as they can evaluate your particular situation, including the severity of the condition, other health factors, and your response to treatment.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 and had angioplasty done at Ruby Hospital in Pune about a year ago, where they put in two stents. Now, we're back to the drawing board with blockages in two of his arteries again, and the doctor is suggesting another angioplasty. I'm really concerned and confused about whether this is the best option for him right now. Could you give me some clarity or advice on what steps we should consider?
The right diagnosis for your father would be Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with restenosis of the stents. The recommended treatment in this case would be to undergo another angioplasty procedure to address the blockages in the two arteries. The doctor may also consider using medications such as dual antiplatelet therapy (e.g. Clopidogrel) and statins (e.g. Atorvastatin) to help prevent further blockages and manage his condition.

I've been having this burning sensation in the upper back, right at the center, since this morning. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if I'm overthinking it. Could it be a sign of something I should be worried about, or is it just something that happens sometimes? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the pt.
