I'm experiencing some left arm pain and dizziness lately, and I also have GERD issues. From time to time, I get this jaw pain too. Could this be something related to my heart? I had a Holter test done back in February and everything seemed normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Would really appreciate your insight on this.

I've been feeling kind of uncomfortable in my chest, mostly at night, and sometimes the pain stretches out to my left arm. On top of that, I've been dealing with this left side neck pain and a bit of an ache in my upper back. Do you think I should be worried about this or is it something that might go away on its own? What could it be?

The symptoms you are describing could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for potential heart-related chest pain. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption. Remember to call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a sudden paralysis attack because his blood pressure shot up unexpectedly. He's getting treatment, but now his right hand and face are affected. The ECO test shows RWMA; should I be concerned about that? Everything else looks okay, but I'm anxious. How serious is RWMA, and what should we be prepared for next?

It sounds like your father experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to high blood pressure. The presence of RWMA+ on an ECG test indicates regional wall motion abnormality, which can be a sign of reduced blood flow to a specific area of the heart. To prevent further episodes, it is important to manage his blood pressure effectively. He can be prescribed medications like Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to control his blood pressure and reduce the risk of future TIAs. Additionally, Aspirin (81mg) can be recommended to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of stroke. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor his condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm experiencing a fast heartbeat and I'm worried if it could be a case of SVT. I had an echocardiogram and it came back normal. Does that mean my heart is fine or should I be concerned about something else?

It is good that your echo is normal. Fast heart beat can be due to various reasons, including SVT. To help control your heart rate, you can take medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
