I'm feeling some pain on the left side of my chest. It's not constant, and sometimes it just goes away on its own. I'm kinda worried about what this could mean or if I should be concerned. Any ideas on what might be going on?

View allIs a pulse rate of 55-65 normal? We've started my dad on Concor AM 5mg for the last couple of days, and now we're noticing his pulse rate is around that range, plus he's been experiencing some irregular heartbeats and mild chest pain. He's already dealing with hypertension and after a bout with COVID had palpitations and a pulse hitting 120, so he took Ivabid for a month, then switched to Dilzem CD 90mg for another month. We did notice his aortic valve is dilated at 4.3 cm. I'm really worried and wondering if we should continue with Concor, or could it further lower his pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 55-65 can be considered normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. However, considering your father's history of hypertension, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, and previous cardiac medications, it is essential to monitor his condition closely. Concor AM 5mg is a combination of Bisoprolol and Amlodipine, which helps in controlling blood pressure and heart rate. Given his symptoms and medical history, it is crucial to consult with his healthcare provider to adjust the dosage or consider alternative medications. Continuing Concor may further decrease the pulse rate, so medical advice is necessary to ensure his safety and well-being.

I'm really worried about this stiffness in my left ventricle. What can I do to help it get better, and are there specific things I should avoid doing? Can it be cured? I'm not sure what steps to take, and it's a bit overwhelming. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Stiffness in the left ventricle can be managed with medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help relax the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to reduce the heart rate and workload on the heart. In addition, diuretics like Furosemide may be used to reduce fluid buildup in the body. It is important to follow a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and avoid alcohol and tobacco which can worsen heart conditions. Regular exercise as recommended by your healthcare provider can help improve heart function. It is also important to manage stress and get an adequate amount of sleep to support heart health. Remember to take your medications as prescribed, attend regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider, and report any new or worsening symptoms promptly.

I'm really worried because my husband keeps having this slight pain and tightness in the center of his chest. It's especially bothersome when he coughs or takes a deep breath during these episodes. It's not happening all the time, but I'm not sure if we should investigate heart problems or something else. There aren't any other symptoms to go off of. What should we do?
Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
