I've already had my echo about three weeks ago because I was having chest pain. I'm still worried and wondering how many days I should wait before going for another test. Could you help me out with this?

I've been experiencing this sharp, stinging pain in my chest and it seems to spread throughout my body. It's making me feel really disoriented. I'm getting a bit worried because it's happening more often. What could this possibly be, and should I be concerned enough to get it checked out?

These symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue such as a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with potential heart-related pain.

I'm really worried about my dad he's just 43 and had a heart attack about a month and a half ago. They did an angioplasty and put in a stent, but now the doctor says one of his heart valves isn't working right and needs replacing. His heart is only working at 30% right now. Is it safe for him to go through a bypass surgery at this point, and if he does, how long can we expect him to live after that?

Atleast for a year any surgeries contraindicated.
