I'm really worried about what to do if a family member, like my mom or dad, ever has chest pain, starts sweating a lot, or has pain in the arm or shoulder. What if they start vomiting too? I mean, in that moment, can I give them aspirin or sorbitrate? And if so, how much should I give? Could you explain how to properly administer it? I'm a bit anxious about this and not really sure about the right steps.

View allI've been keeping an eye on my triglycerides levels, which are currently at 230, and my HDL is at 28. We usually cook with mustard oil at home. I've heard some conflicting info about it building up triglycerides around the heart. Is mustard oil actually heart-friendly, or should I be considering other options for cooking? I'm really hoping for some guidance on this.
Mustard oil is not recommended for individuals with high triglyceride levels as it may contribute to an increase in triglycerides. It is advisable to switch to healthier cooking oils such as olive oil or canola oil, which are beneficial for heart health. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help improve your lipid profile.

I've been having this chest pain right in the center for the past 3 years, mostly when I'm exerting myself like lifting heavy stuff, climbing stairs, or riding in a fast-moving vehicle. I've had a coronary angiogram, and it came back normal. My echo is also normal. I've noticed my stomach bloats when this happens. Could this be related to a heart issue or is it more of an anxiety thing? The pain usually goes away when I rest. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can sometimes present with chest pain and bloating. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief of your symptoms. Additionally, you can try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, and not lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, you may need to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because my resting heart rate is around 80 while I'm just sitting at my desk doing nothing. Is this something I should be worried about?
A resting heart rate of around 80 beats per minute is generally considered within the normal range for adults. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting spells along with the elevated heart rate, it may be worth consulting with a healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try managing stress, getting regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet.
