I'm experiencing pain when I tilt my head towards my left shoulder. I also have thyroid issues and asthma. When I move my neck to the left, there's this pain that travels from the back of my neck to my chest. Could this be something connected to my heart?

it may not necessarily be related to your heart. It could be due to muscle strain or tension in your neck and chest area. However, given your history of thyroid issues and asthma, it is important to rule out any other potential causes. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle neck stretches may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been having these weird symptoms lately, and I'm not sure what's going on. Whenever I masturbate, I start to feel really breathless, my heart races, my chest hurts, and I get this lightheaded feeling. It's strange because I never used to have these issues. Even when I'm just walking around, I feel out of breath and dizzy. I got an ECG, TMT, and echo done and they all came back normal. My lipid profile shows my total cholesterol is 193 with HDL at 42 and LDL at 151. My vitamin B12 was around 212, and vitamin D was 51. I even did a lung test and that came back normal too. Another odd thing is that I feel uncomfortable in my chest when listening to music with a lot of bass vibrations. What could be causing all this?

I'm really worried about heart health. Could you tell me what tests are usually done to find heart disease? And what are the early signs of a heart attack I should watch out for? Also, what can I do to prevent a heart attack from happening in the first place?
To detect heart disease in the body, tests such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiogram, Stress test, Cardiac catheterization, and CT scan may be done. Symptoms of a heart attack may include chest pain or discomfort, upper body pain, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, and cold sweats. To prevent a heart attack, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet low in saturated fats, managing stress, avoiding smoking, and controlling conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.

I'm really concerned about my current situation. I've had mitral heart disease for 7 years now, and I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. My cardiologist mentioned I might need open heart surgery after delivering. Is it safe for me to proceed with the pregnancy given my heart condition? Also, I'm not clear whether the surgery would be a valve replacement or just a repair. Could you help clarify? My recent echo showed severe mitral regurgitation, among other findings. Just trying to understand what this all means for me and my baby.
