I'm really worried about my dad he's just 43 and had a heart attack about a month and a half ago. They did an angioplasty and put in a stent, but now the doctor says one of his heart valves isn't working right and needs replacing. His heart is only working at 30% right now. Is it safe for him to go through a bypass surgery at this point, and if he does, how long can we expect him to live after that?

I've been experiencing this weakness in my chest and it's making me really anxious. I'm trying to figure out what's going on because sometimes I also get this heaviness when I breathe and feel dizzy. It even makes me feel shaky at times. What could be causing these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, which can cause chest tightness, dizziness, and shaky feelings. However, these symptoms can also be linked to other conditions such as heart issues or respiratory problems. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to get a proper evaluation and ensure it's not something more serious.

Can you help me understand if it's normal for me to actually see my chest and stomach move with my heartbeat? I've never noticed this before and it's kind of freaking me out. I've had an ECG and my heart rate checked, and they were both normal. What's going on here?

It is normal to see some movement in the chest and stomach with each heartbeat, especially in individuals with a thinner body build. This is known as the cardiac impulse. Since your ECG is normal and heart rate is also normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Just continue to monitor any changes in your symptoms.
