I'm a bit worried about my wife. She's been having these severe chest pains on her left side early in the morning. It happened around 5 am today and before that, at 2 am. There's nothing else with it like radiating pain, jaw pain, trouble breathing, or sweating, but the pain is pretty intense. It usually happens once and then subsides. This has been going on for about 78 days now. Do you think it could be something serious or is it just a muscular thing?

View allI'm trying to understand a recent exercise test result and have some worries. During the Bruce Protocol, I lasted for just over 7 minutes and reached 10.10 METs. My heart rate hit 179 beats per minute, which is apparently 95% of what they'd expect as my maximum. They stopped the test at that point, saying I'd hit my target heart rate. There was no usual chest pain, but I'm still concerned about whether stopping because of the heart rate is normal. Does this result suggest any potential heart issues I should be aware of?
The patient's exercise performance on the Bruce Protocol is impressive, reaching a workload of 10.10 METs and achieving a peak heart rate of 179 beatsminute, which is 95% of the predicted maximum. Since the exercise was terminated due to reaching the target heart rate without experiencing classical angina, it indicates good cardiovascular fitness. For the blood pressure response, it would be ideal to monitor the patient's blood pressure during exercise and recovery to assess their cardiovascular health comprehensively. In this case, considering the patient's exercise capacity and heart rate response, it would be beneficial to continue monitoring their blood pressure during physical activity to ensure safety and optimal performance. As for medication, based on the information provided, I would recommend discussing with a healthcare provider for personalized advice on any necessary medications or adjustments to the current regimen.

Sometimes I get this feeling of tiredness and shortness of breath that usually lasts for a few days. I've been experiencing it on and off for the past couple of years, but there are no other symptoms accompanying it. Im a 34-year-old male, and Ive had my ECG, echo, and lipid profile checked, and everything came back normal. Could there still be a chance of a heart issue, and is there any other test I should consider?
There may still be a possibility of underlying cardiac issues. To further investigate, you can consider undergoing a stress test (TMT - Treadmill Test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity and detect any abnormalities that may not be present at rest. Additionally, a Holter monitor can be used to monitor your heart's activity over a 24-48 hour period to capture any irregularities that may not show up during a standard ECG. These tests can provide more insights into your cardiac health beyond the initial screening tests you have already done.

My dad is 65 and just had a pacemaker put in because his heart rate dropped dangerously low. The doctors found two major blockages 95% and 99% and are recommending bypass surgery, but his creatinine level is high at 2.58. They say his kidneys might not handle the surgery well. What are our options here? Also, could you suggest a diet that helps both his heart and kidneys?
cardiology opinion is advised.
