I'm really worried because I've heard that heart attack symptoms in women can be different from what men experience. Can you explain what signs I should be looking out for? And how can I tell if chest pain is from a heart attack or just something else? Its been on my mind lately, and I'd love some clarity.

View allI'm yawning a lot at strange times and it's happening quite often. I've also had some pain on the left side of my chest, along with discomfort in my jaw and left neck sometimes. Every now and then there's this stabbing pain between my shoulder blades. I've had heart tests and an X-ray done, and they didn't show anything wrong. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. Any ideas?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress, which can manifest as excessive yawning, chest pain, jaw pain, neck pain, and stabbing pain between the shoulder blades. Breathlessness can also be a symptom of anxiety. I recommend trying to manage your stress levels through relaxation techniques, exercise, and possibly counseling. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the pain. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about the results from my ECG. It shows an incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) with a QRS duration of 114 ms. Should I be worried about this, and are there any additional tests I might need to consider?
Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) or Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially in healthy individuals. However, it can also be associated with underlying heart conditions. Since your ECG shows IRBBB with a QRS duration of 114 ms, it is advisable to further evaluate this finding. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation, which may include additional tests such as an echocardiogram, stress test, or Holter monitor. These tests can help determine the underlying cause of the IRBBB and assess your cardiac health. It is important to monitor this condition and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to ensure proper management.

My dad's been dealing with really high blood pressure, it's at 190100, and it's been like this for a week now. It's pretty concerning because he's also been managing diabetes for like 10 years, high blood pressure issues for 5 years, and kidney problems for 3 years. Even though he's on medication, his blood pressure isn't budging. What should we do in this situation? Could there be something else to try or look into?
