I'm really worried about my mom who's 68. She's been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and has an overall LVEF of 50-50. They also mentioned grade diastolic dysfunction. I'm just trying to understand, is this something serious that we need to be concerned about?

View allHey doc, I've been dealing with this sharp chest pain whenever I sneeze or have a really hard cough, and sometimes it happens if I quickly flex my chest muscles during a workout. It's been almost a year now and I notice a slight pain if I press hard on the sore spot. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what's going on. Any ideas?
You may be experiencing costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as directed on the package. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may provide some relief. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this weird chest pain around my sternum and in the center of my back. It's been going on for a few days now and usually hits me with cold sweats and heat waves. I also get this sharp pain on the left side of my breast whenever I walk. I thought it might just be a hangover, but its been three days and it just seems... off. Should I be worried about this?
