I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having some chest discomfort and mild pain that sometimes happens on the left side and other times in the center. He gets really nervous, and his heart rate spikes to around 90-98 bpm when this happens, but when he's more relaxed, it goes back down to about 68-72 bpm. He runs on the treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes at least five days a week and doesn't feel any discomfort during that time. Although he has an acidity and GERD problem, he's finished his course of medication and isn't taking any other tablets. His sugar and blood pressure are normal, and chest X-rays came back fine, with an orthopaedic saying it's nothing serious and just suggesting vitamins. He also feels pain at certain points when the chest is pressed. With all these symptoms, I'm wondering if it could be his heart, acidity, muscular, or maybe even a nerve issue. Do you think an angiography would be necessary given his normal reports so far?

View allI'm trying to understand how serious mild pulmonary hypertension is and if there's a way to stop it from getting worse. Is it possible to treat it before it becomes severe?
Mild pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs is slightly higher than normal. It can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and fainting. If left untreated, it can progress to more severe stages. Treatment for mild pulmonary hypertension aims to manage symptoms and prevent progression to more severe stages. Medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) can help improve blood flow in the lungs and reduce symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking can also help manage mild pulmonary hypertension. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm really concerned because my heart pumping has reduced to 30. Is it better to start on medication right away or should I consider other treatments? Also, could yoga be an effective option for dealing with this issue? I could really use some guidance on this.
Heart pumping reduce to 30% can be a serious condition and may require medical intervention. To improve heart function and manage symptoms, I would recommend starting with medication such as Carvedilol at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily, along with Lisinopril at a dosage of 10mg once daily. These medications can help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. In addition to medication, regular exercise, such as yoga, can also be beneficial. Yoga can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and strengthen the heart muscles. Poses such as the Mountain Pose, Warrior Pose, and Bridge Pose can be particularly helpful. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen to ensure it is safe for your condition.

I've had a permanent pacemaker for over three and a half years now. My health has been really great lately, and I'm feeling fit and fine. I'm curious to know if there's any possibility of getting the pacemaker removed at this point.
I'm glad to hear that your health is good. The decision to remove a permanent pacemaker is based on individual circumstances and should be discussed with your cardiologist. If your heart condition has improved significantly and no longer requires the pacemaker, it may be possible to have it removed. However, this decision should only be made after thorough evaluation and consultation with your cardiologist.
