I'm really worried about my mom. She's 48 and recently started having continuous chest pain. She had a viral fever and some cough, so we initially thought it was just that, but the pain didn't go away. We went to a government hospital and the doctor there told us to do an ECG test and mentioned it was serious. But then we went to a private hospital and they said not to worry. I'm feeling confused with these mixed messages. What should I do next?

The chest pain in your mother could be due to various reasons, including cardiac issues. Since the government doctor recommended an ECG test, it is important to follow through with that recommendation to rule out any serious heart problems. If the private hospital has reassured you that there is no immediate cause for concern, it is still advisable to monitor the situation closely. In the meantime, to help alleviate the chest pain and cough, you can consider giving her a medication like Paracetamol for pain relief and Cough syrup for cough. However, it is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical advice.

View allI've been dealing with some heart issues after my open heart surgery in 2016 for ASD closure. Lately, I've noticed that my resting heart rate at night sometimes drops below 55, and it feels like my heart might be skipping a beat now and then. Although my 2D Echo results are normal aside from a Grade I diastolic dysfunction, every time I do an ECG at the clinic, it shows a high heart rate but with a sinus rhythm. I've been on Seloken XL 50 every morning and Telmisartan 20mg for the past month, and my doctor wants me to continue for another three months, saying it's just anxiety. I'm kind of worried, though, about whether there's anything concerning with the low heart rate. What should I do?

I've been monitoring my heart rate for the past year, and it's consistently around 110 beats per minute every day. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I consider visiting a doctor to get it checked out?
A heart rate of 110 beats per minute may be considered high, especially if it is consistently elevated. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your heart rate by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises. If the high heart rate persists, a doctor may prescribe medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.
