I'm dealing with some constant pain in my chest, neck, shoulders, ears, and upper back. I've already had an ECG, ECO, and TMT done, and everything came back normal. But the pain is still there and just won't go away. What should I do about it?

View allI'm really worried about my father's condition. He's been dealing with coronary heart disease for about 4 years now and we've already tried various treatments and seen local doctors here in Pontianak, Indonesia. The problem is, he got really traumatized by the high doses or hard drugs prescribed to him, so now we're mainly relying on some herbal remedies like this red juice from Papua called Kuansu. It seems to help a bit, but not for long. A few doctors have mentioned that he might need a ring or bypass operation, but that's honestly really tough for us financially. I'm curious if there's any alternative treatment for coronary heart disease that you could suggest, especially considering our situation.
In cases where medication and herbal remedies have not provided sufficient improvement for coronary heart disease, and surgical options like stents or bypass surgery are not feasible due to economic constraints, another alternative treatment option to consider is medical therapy. Medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to lower cholesterol, Aspirin to reduce blood clotting, and Metoprolol to manage blood pressure and heart rate can be beneficial in managing coronary heart disease. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate medication regimen and dosage for your father's specific condition.

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent 2D echo results. It says my EF is 56, but everything else seems normal. Is this EF number something to be concerned about or is it within the normal range? Just wanted to make sure I understand what this means for my heart health.
Your EF (Ejection Fraction) of 56% is considered normal. An EF between 50-70% is generally considered normal for a healthy adult. No treatment is usually required for a normal EF.

I've been noticing that every time I check my pulse rate, it's always above 100, sometimes even hitting 95 to 105. I'm worried about what could be causing this consistently high pulse rate. Can you help me understand the possible reasons behind it?
High pulse rate, also known as tachycardia, can be caused by various factors. Some common reasons for a high pulse rate in the range of 95-105 beats per minute include physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid disorders, and certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate at different times of the day and in different situations to see if there are any patterns or triggers. If your pulse rate consistently remains above 100 beats per minute, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, staying hydrated, and avoiding stimulants to see if there is any improvement in your pulse rate.
