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?

I had open heart surgery about 11 years ago because there was a hole in my heart. Is it safe for me to start going to the gym and lifting heavy weights now? Would love your advice.

I'm really worried about what to do if someone has a heart attack before we can get them to the hospital. Is there a specific tablet that's recommended to take beforehand to help prevent any more damage to the heart?

I'm experiencing heaviness and palpitations in my chest along with heartburn. I've gone through several tests like ECG, Echo, stress TMT, and stress MPI, and they all came back normal. But I still feel these symptoms sometimes and have visited many cardiologists without finding a solution. They say it's anxiety, yet I sleep well at night. Do you have any advice or suggestions for further tests? And is it okay if I drink chamomile tea at night?

It's good that you have undergone various cardiac tests which have come back normal. Since your symptoms are still persisting, it is possible that anxiety could be contributing to your symptoms. In addition to managing stress and anxiety, you can try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn relief. For palpitations, you can try taking a magnesium supplement. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before starting any new supplement. As for chamomile tea, it is generally considered safe for most people and can help with relaxation. You can try drinking chamomile tea in the evening to help with anxiety and promote better sleep. Start with a low dose and see how your body reacts to it. If your symptoms continue or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal issues that could be contributing to your symptoms.
