I'm really worried because my husband keeps having this slight pain and tightness in the center of his chest. It's especially bothersome when he coughs or takes a deep breath during these episodes. It's not happening all the time, but I'm not sure if we should investigate heart problems or something else. There aren't any other symptoms to go off of. What should we do?

My mom's ultrasound showed a poor acoustic window because of her body size. The doctor mentioned it might affect the results. I'm really worried does this mean she'll need surgery or can medications help her get better? What are our options here?

We need to see all her reports, examine her once and look into the gravity on her symptoms to decide the course of treatment best for her.
