I'm really concerned about my dad's recent medical tests. His ECG showed something about an aVF T Wave abnormality, but then he got a 2D echo, and it came back normal. I'm just trying to understand why one test would show something abnormal and the other wouldn't. Could this mean something serious?

I've been experiencing this weird tightness in my chest, like something is stuck or not right in there. It's been going on for about half an hour now. Can you help me understand what's happening? It's making me pretty anxious.

This sensation could be due to acid reflux. You can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the discomfort. It is recommended to take 2-4 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 15 tablets in 24 hours. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.

How do you stop a heart attack immediately?

Acting quickly can save lives. If given quickly after symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack, and having a catheterization with a stent put in may open a closed blood vessel. The longer you wait for treatment, the more chances of survival go down and damage to the heart goes up.
