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.

View allI'm wondering if there's any test that can confirm whether my bypass surgery was successful. Are there any scans or assessments I should consider to be sure everything's okay?
Yes, after a bypass surgery, a coronary angiogram can be done to assess the success of the procedure. This test involves injecting a special dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or abnormalities. Additionally, an echocardiogram can also be performed to evaluate the heart function and assess the blood flow. These tests can help determine if the bypass surgery was successful.

I'm really worried about my brother. He had COVID-19 a few months back, and he's still dealing with some tough symptoms like a racing heart rate, tremors, tinnitus, and fatigue. Hes only 30 and was super healthy and fit before all this. His echo was normal a while ago, but the cardiologist did mention arrhythmia back then. Lately, he's been feeling chest pain just from walking or climbing stairs, and his heart rate shoots up to 150-180. It's affecting his daily life a lot post-COVID. We got an NT Pro BNP test done, and it came back at 160. Could this be an early sign of heart failure? Should we look into more tests or anything else?
"Based on the symptoms your brother is experiencing, along with the elevated NT Pro BNP levels, there may be concerns about the possibility of heart failure. It is important to further investigate and monitor his condition. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, to help manage his symptoms, he can be prescribed with medication such as Carvedilol 6.25mg twice daily to help reduce heart rate and improve heart function. Additionally, he can take Furosemide 20mg once daily to help reduce fluid buildup in the body. These medications can help alleviate his symptoms and improve his quality of life. It is also important for him to follow a low-sodium diet and avoid strenuous activities. Regular follow-ups with the cardiologist are essential to monitor his condition and adjust treatment as needed."
