I'm experiencing this strange sensation in my chest, but it's not really painful. It's more like an odd feeling when I breathe, right below my throat and just above the breasts. Any idea what this could be?

The unusual sensation in your chest, described as a weird feeling when breathing, just below the throat and above the breasts, could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or respiratory issues like asthma or bronchitis

View allI'm a bit confused and worried after seeing my recent health checkup report. It mentions Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but everything else like chamber dimension, RWMA, and LV systolic function looks normal. The report also notes trivial MR and TR, with no PAH, clot, or vegetation, and my EF is 70. Can you help me understand what Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction really means and if there's anything I should do about it?

Which blood pressure medication is best for my high BP and angina pain? I'm kind of stuck because one doctor recommended Metoprolol and another suggested Amlodipine. I really want something that works well but doesn't have a lot of side effects. Can you help me figure out which one might be better?
For high blood pressure and angina pain, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare providers. Both Metoprolol and Amlodipine are commonly used medications for these conditions. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels. For proper relief and minimal side effects, a combination of both medications may be beneficial. You can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) along with Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc). The typical dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100 mg once or twice daily, and for Amlodipine, it is 5-10 mg once daily. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had two angioplasties earlier this year, and his doctor mentioned there's another vein blockage that might need treatment in the future, like 1-2 years from now. But now he's having pain again, and the doctor says we need to operate right away. I'm just wondering if it's safe to delay this procedure so I can get a second opinion from another doctor. Does it sound too risky to wait a little longer?
It is important to prioritize your dad's health and follow the advice of his current doctor. To manage the pain and prevent further complications, your dad can take medications like Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily and Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. However, it is crucial to consult with his doctor before making any decisions regarding postponing the angioplasty procedure.
