I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.

View allI'm 22 and I've been experiencing chest pain for a few months now. My X-ray and ECG both came back normal, but the pain keeps coming and going within about 30 seconds. It switches locations, sometimes on the left side, other times on the right, and occasionally its in the upper or lower chest. I'm really worried about my heart. Could this actually be related to gas like the doctor suggested?
As you had done investigation like ecg so chest pain is not due to cardiac issue .Yes it can be because of acid reflus .Ans xray is also normal and you dont have any cough sneezing breathlessness and your age is so young so it could because of gas

I'm having this weird throbbing pain in my chest that feels like getting punched, but it only lasts a few seconds and then disappears. It pops up unexpectedly and can be on the left, right, or center of my chestnot in one specific spot. It doesn't happen when I'm exercising, but when it hits, it's in this tiny area that I could touch with a finger. I've had an ECG and three 2D echo tests, and all the results look fine according to the doctors. I'm really confused about what's causing this. Any idea on what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of chest pain known as angina. Angina is often described as a squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness, or pain in your chest. It can be caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle, which is usually due to coronary artery disease. Since your ECG and 2D echoes have come back normal, it is good news that there is no immediate concern for heart-related issues. However, it is still important to investigate further to determine the cause of your chest pain. I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of undergoing a stress test to evaluate your heart's function under stress. Additionally, you may benefit from a CT coronary angiography to assess the blood flow in your coronary arteries. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe medications such as nitroglycerin to relieve chest pain. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your chest pain.

I've been using my MI band to keep track of my heart rate while I'm exercising and working out. Lately, I've noticed that my heart rate sometimes drops suddenly and steeply according to the fitness tracker. I've got a specific heart rate record from one of my workouts attached here. Should I be worried about this? What might be causing these changes, and are there other symptoms I should be on the lookout for?
Sudden and steep drops in heart rate during exercise can be concerning. It is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. The probable causes could include dehydration, overexertion, medication side effects, or an underlying heart rhythm disorder. Other symptoms to watch out for may include dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, or shortness of breath. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
