I've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?

Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've just been told I have a myocardiac bridge 1520. Lately, I've had a bit of right chest pain, some tightness, and I'm feeling kind of weak. Can you help me understand what's going on with me? I'm really curious and a bit worried.

Myocardial bridge is a condition where a segment of one of the coronary arteries tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, tightness, and weakness. In your case, with a myocardial bridge of 15-20%, it is important to manage your symptoms and monitor for any changes. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take medications such as Beta-blockers like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to reduce the workload on your heart and relieve chest pain. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for acute chest pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm really worried about my dad who's been admitted to Nayati hospital in Mathura. He just got diagnosed with complete RBBB today. I'm in a bit of a dilemma about whether we should delay the angioplasty and find a doctor in Delhi NCR or just go ahead and get it done in Mathura. What I'm really curious about is if there's much difference in the quality of angioplasty between Mathura and Delhi. Is it risky to delay the procedure or is it fine to go with the doctors here in Mathura?

In general, the quality of angioplasty procedures can vary between hospitals and regions. However, Delhi NCR is known for having a higher concentration of top-tier hospitals and experienced cardiologists compared to Mathura. If the angioplasty is needed urgently and your father's condition requires immediate attention, it may be advisable to consider getting the procedure done in Delhi NCR where there may be more advanced facilities and expertise available. As for the decision to delay the angioplasty, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare team to assess the risks and benefits based on his specific medical condition and overall health. Delaying the procedure may pose risks in certain cases, so it is crucial to follow the advice of the medical professionals overseeing your father's care. If you decide to seek a doctor in Delhi NCR for the angioplasty, you can consider consulting with specialists at reputed hospitals like AIIMS, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, or Medanta - The Medicity for further evaluation and treatment."

My mom, who's 75, has been having this center chest pain for 25 days now. Last week the doctor gave her met xl 12.5 and veloz d to take every morning after looking at her ECG report, but it hasn't helped with the pain. Today, after checking her 2D echo, they suggested she take Mucaine syrup and Sucrafil three times a day for a month. She's also on telmikind am 80 (half a tablet) and rosuless c 10 every night. I'm really worried since it's been more than a week without improvement. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?

Based on the medications your mother is currently taking and the symptoms described, the chest pain could be due to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The medications prescribed such as Veloz D, Mucaine, and Sucrafil are commonly used to treat symptoms of acid reflux. It is possible that the pain is related to acid irritation in the esophagus. To further alleviate the symptoms, you can consider adding a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Esomeprazole (brand name: Nexium) or Pantoprazole (brand name: Protonix) to reduce stomach acid production. The usual dosage for Esomeprazole is 20-40mg once daily before a meal, and for Pantoprazole, it is 40mg once daily in the morning. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, avoiding lying down after eating, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help in managing acid reflux symptoms. It is important to continue the current medications as prescribed and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if the chest pain persists.
