I'm experiencing some chest heaviness and a bit of pain, and it's making it harder to catch my breath at times. I've been smoking about 10 to 12 cigarettes a day. Should I be concerned about this, and what could be causing these symptoms?

View allIve been experiencing some chest pain on the upper right side whenever I laugh. Its strange because the pain shows up only during laughter and then just disappears. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just pass on its own?

I had a stent put in my heart, and now, two years later, its blocked again. My doctor had to place another stent inside the blocked one. Is this normal or something I should be worried about?
Placing another stent inside an existing one is known as a "stent-in-stent" procedure. It is a common approach to manage blocked stents. The new stent helps to reinforce the existing one and improve blood flow. It is important to continue with prescribed medications such as dual antiplatelet therapy to prevent blood clots. Examples of medications include Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg daily and Aspirin 81mg daily. Regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor the stents and overall heart health.

I'm having some issues with chest pain on my left side, and it's been going on for the last couple of months. The pain comes and goes and often extends from my upper chest to my left arm. I've also experienced some pulling in my left leg and occasional abdominal pain. I've had 5 ECG tests which were normal, and my echo showed an LVEF of 55. Today, we did a TMT. Could you help explain what all this means? Do you think I need any other tests?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. The pain in your upper chest that extends from your shoulder to your left arm, along with left hand pain and abdominal pain, could be related to this. The normal ECG results and an LVEF of 55% from the echo are positive findings. Since you have already undergone a TMT (Treadmill Test), it is good for assessing how your heart responds to exertion. If the TMT results are inconclusive or if your symptoms persist, you may consider getting a coronary angiography to visualize any blockages in the coronary arteries. This test can help determine if there is any significant blockage that may be causing your symptoms. In the meantime, it is important to manage your symptoms. You can take medications like Aspirin to help reduce the risk of blood clots, and medications like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin can help relieve chest pain during episodes of angina. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
