I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

View allMy dad just went through angioplasty a couple of weeks ago and now that he's out of the hospital, I'm really concerned about what kind of diet he should be following. I'm looking for guidance on the best foods he should eat to help with his recovery. Any advice would be really appreciated.
After angioplasty, it is important for your father to follow a heart-healthy diet to promote recovery and reduce the risk of further heart issues. He should focus on consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Some specific foods to include in his diet are: - Oats: High in soluble fiber which can help lower cholesterol levels - Fatty fish like salmon or mackerel: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are good for heart health - Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds are good sources of healthy fats - Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries are rich in antioxidants - Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, collard greens are packed with vitamins and minerals It is also important for him to limit his intake of saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium. Encourage him to drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages. Regular physical activity and stress management are also important components of a heart-healthy lifestyle.

Is there any difference between sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia? I'm trying to understand if they are the same thing or if they affect the heart in different ways. It's a bit confusing to me, and I'm worried about what these terms mean for heart health. Could you explain it in simple terms?
Sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia are different conditions. Sinus arrhythmia is a normal variation in heart rate that occurs with breathing - the heart rate increases with inhalation and decreases with exhalation. It is usually harmless and does not require treatment. On the other hand, sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart rate is faster than normal, typically above 100 beats per minute. In some cases, sinus tachycardia may be a sign of an underlying medical condition and treatment may be necessary. If you are experiencing symptoms of either condition, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been waking up in the middle of the night sweating and struggling to breathe, and this has happened twice in just three days. We checked his blood pressure both times he woke up, and it was 148110 with a pulse of 75 the first time, and 140100 with a pulse of 85 the second time. He usually takes TeldayH every day for his high blood pressure, which generally keeps it under control. His blood sugar levels were also normal when we checked them yesterday, and his ECG was fine in January. He did have a gout attack around the same time, and his uric acid levels were 8.7 then, and he's also dealing with high cholesterol. Right now, he's on Febuxostat and Jupiros. I'm just trying to figure out why he's having these night sweats and breathing problems. Could it be related to his medication or something else?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient. Rest contine all the medications.Also tablet levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime,orally for 5 days is advised . Steam inhalation and saline gargles is also advised to the patient.
