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 feeling a strong pulse in my chest and throat when I'm sleeping. If I stay in the same position for about half an hour, I really start to notice it, but it seems to stop when I change positions. During the day, I'm super energetic and don't have any issues, but this pulse thing keeps happening at night when I'm trying to sleep. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?
This sensation of feeling your pulse in your chest and throat while sleeping is known as pulsatile tinnitus. It can be caused by various factors such as high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid disorders, or even stress and anxiety. To address this issue, you can try managing stress levels, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and ensuring proper sleep hygiene. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of propranolol (Inderal) under the guidance of a doctor to help alleviate the sensation of pulsatile tinnitus while sleeping.

My dad had a minor heart attack on November 7th, and he had a bypass operation back in 2008 in the UK. I'm really worriedis this something we should be super concerned about given his history? What can we do to prevent this from getting worse?
Since he had a minor heart attack, it's important for him to follow the doctor's recommendations for recovery. In addition to any prescribed medications, it's crucial for him to make lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking. Given his history of heart issues, he may be prescribed medications such as aspirin to prevent blood clots, a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce strain on the heart, and a statin like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels. It's important for him to take these medications as directed by his doctor to help prevent future heart issues.
