I'm really confused and a bit anxious about this chest tightness that happens whenever I lie down flat or stretch my left hand. It's been going on for about three months. I went to an orthopedic doctor who said it's probably due to poor posture and muscle spasm. Then I saw a cardiologist, had all the tests like ECG, echocardiogram, TMT, and even checked my cholesterol and BP. Everything was normal except for my cholesterol which was a bit high at 196, and LDL at 121.8. The cardiologist said I don't have heart issues and just need to change my lifestyle and lose some weight. But I wanted a second opinion, so I visited another cardiologist and even without any new tests, he said the same thing that everything's normal. Still, I feel this tightness at night and sometimes it makes me sweat and I get really scared thinking it might be a heart attack. When I went back to the cardiologist, he reassured me again. So, should I keep doing ECGs every time I feel this tightness or maybe see a pulmonologist? Why does this keep happening if everything's supposed to be normal?

View allI'm really worried about the angiography report that showed blockages in all three arteries and their branches, with numbers like 100, 100, and 95. It's causing lung congestion and I'm scared about what this means for health. What options are available for treatment?
It sounds like you're dealing with severe coronary artery blockage in all three major arteries, with the blockage percentages being quite high. Additionally, the congestion is causing fluid buildup in the lungs, which can make breathing difficult. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice for the best treatment approach.

I've been monitoring my blood pressure daily for the past month, and it usually fluctuates between 95 to 105, with 100 over 70 being quite common. I'm a bit concerned if this is considered normal for my age. What might be causing these readings, and should I be worried about them not going above 105?
Your blood pressure readings of 10070 with fluctuations between 95 to 105 are considered low but generally not concerning if you are not experiencing any symptoms. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation. The fluctuation in blood pressure could be due to various factors such as dehydration, stress, lack of physical activity, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. To help maintain a stable blood pressure, you can focus on staying well-hydrated, managing stress through relaxation techniques, incorporating regular exercise into your routine, and ensuring a balanced diet. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it is important to seek medical advice promptly.

I'm worried about left ventricle failure and what steps are involved in managing it. How do I go about registering for a heart transplant and who should I contact? Could you guide me through this, please?
Left ventricular failure is a serious condition where the heart's left ventricle is unable to pump blood effectively to the rest of the body. Treatment for left ventricular failure typically involves a combination of medications such as ACE inhibitors (e.g. Enalapril) and beta blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) to help improve heart function and manage symptoms. In some cases, a heart transplant may be recommended for severe cases of left ventricular failure. To register for a heart transplant, you would need to contact a specialized heart transplant center or hospital that performs such procedures. Some well-known centers for heart transplants include Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. It is important to consult with a cardiologist or heart failure specialist to discuss your options and determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
