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 allIs it okay to use hot water steam for a cough if I've just had an angioplasty? I'm worried about whether the steam could affect the stent, especially since it's only been a week since the procedure. Would it be safe to try this, or should I avoid it?
Taking hot water steam for cough after Angioplasty is generally safe, as it can help to soothe the throat and loosen mucus. However, it is important to avoid inhaling steam directly through the nose, as this can potentially irritate the nasal passages and sinuses. As for the stent, steam inhalation is unlikely to have any direct effect on the stent itself. Just make sure to keep a safe distance from the hot water to prevent any burns.

I'm really anxious about my mom's recent TMT test results. They came back as mildly positive and I'm not sure if that's a good sign or something we should be worried about. Can you help me understand what this might mean for her health?
An echo is advised and also caediac markers

I'm starting to feel my pulse all over my body and it's been like this for about two weeks. I notice it in different places like my feet when I'm lying down and sometimes in my thighs, arms, and even my wrists and fingers. I can actually count the pulse without touching it, like it's happening one spot at a time. Is this something I should be worried about or could it be something serious?
This sensation of feeling a pulse in different parts of your body is known as palpitations. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or hormonal changes. However, if this symptom persists and is accompanied by other symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your caffeine intake, stay hydrated, and practice stress-reducing techniques. If the palpitations continue, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Propranolol to help regulate your heart rate.
