I'm experiencing some pain in the middle of my chest since last night. I think it might be related to stress and maybe even gastric issues. Should I be considering a heart checkup just to be safe, or is it okay to just monitor it for now?

It is important to rule out any potential heart issues, especially if you are experiencing chest pain. However, based on your description and suspicion of gastric-related pain due to work stress, you can start with an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for relief. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

View allI'm trying to make sense of some health concerns and could use a bit of guidance. I recently had an abnormal ECG that showed RBBB with sinus tachycardia, and my CT angiogram revealed 0 calcium deposits. But I'm still feeling some discomfort in my chest and experiencing breathlessness. Could I still have some kind of heart problem even with these results?
1) Despite the absence of calcium deposits on the CT angiogram, it is still possible to have a cardiovascular issue. Given your symptoms and abnormal ECG findings, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend starting treatment with a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the sinus tachycardia and chest discomfort. 2) The chest discomfort and breathlessness you are experiencing may be related to your cardiac condition. In addition to the beta-blocker, you can also take Aspirin (81mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and management plan.

I'm looking at my angiography report, and it states something like a 10060 17 blockage in the veins. I'm really unsure about what this means for my treatment options. Should I be considering surgery, or could something like using rings be effective without having to go through an operation? Also, I don't have diabetes, and there's no family history of heart issues. Would love to hear your thoughts on what might be the best route for me.

I'm a 13-year-old boy with a hole in my heart, and my parents didn't go for the surgery. What kind of problems could this cause for me now and later in life? Will it get worse as I grow older?
A heart defect can cause breathlessness, fatigue, or infections later in life. Get an echocardiogram. If large, surgery may be needed before adulthood.
