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.

I'm feeling really anxious about this tight, squeezing sensation I've been having in my chest. I'm not sure whether it's actually my chest or something with my esophagus. It gets worse when I'm lying in bed and sometimes feels like heartburn. Do you have any tips or ideas about what might be going on? I can't help but worry.

I'm really concerned about my dad's health after he got a stent put in during his angioplasty this April. He's planning to stay with me for 23 days, but we live in a house with two floors. I'm worried about whether it's safe for him to be climbing stairs. Could you advise on whether that's okay for him?

I'm taking Concor 2.5mg because my heart rate was pretty high, like around 100. After starting it yesterday, my heart rate has dropped into the 60s and 70s. I've been told to take this tablet every day for a month, but I'm concerned if my heart rate could get too low if I keep using it. What do you think? Should I continue taking it daily, or could it cause issues?
