I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having chest pain for a while and thought it might be due to gastric issues, but yesterday it got really bad and lasted more than half an hour. Now she's noticing that when she turns her head to the right, the pain in her chest gets worse. Since yesterday, she's also been feeling some uneasiness in her chest. What could be going on? Should we be worried about something serious?

View allIs it a big deal that my TMT showed significant ST depression of 0.1mm in leads V4-V6 at peak exercise but didn't persist in recovery?

I'm not diabetic. My METs were 10.2. Should I be worried about this? Could it be treated at this stage? Do I need to go for an angiography, and if I do, how soon should it be done?

I've been using beta blockers for my anxiety, mainly because of heart palpitations. I'm thinking about stopping them, but I'm a bit anxious about the right way to do it safely. What's the best approach to taper off them without causing issues?
To safely come off beta blockers used for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations, it is important to gradually reduce the dosage under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Abruptly stopping beta blockers can lead to rebound symptoms and potential complications. Your doctor may recommend tapering the dose over a period of time, such as reducing the dose by 25% every week until you can safely discontinue the medication. One common beta blocker used for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations is Propranolol. The dosage and tapering schedule may vary depending on your individual circumstances, so it is important to follow your healthcare provider's guidance closely during this process.

I'm really worried about my cousin. She's been having really bad chest pain on her left side since Thursday night. It hurts a lot when she touches it, and she can't lay down or sleep well. She tried taking Dolowin capsules, but it didn't help at all. What should we do? Could it be something serious?
Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
