I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

View allI'm a bit worried after my full body health check-up. The ECG and stress ECG turned out normal, but the 2D Echo showed I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. And there were some issues in my chest X-ray too. I also have diabetes and I'm on medication for that. Plus, I've got a hernia operation coming up next week. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Should I go see a cardiologist and a pulmonologist?
first consult cardiologist.

I'm really worried because my uncle just had a heart attack and we're in a different country than he is. He's been in intensive care for around 6 hours now. Does that mean it's not life-threatening anymore? How long do people usually survive after having a heart attack? Just trying to understand what we should expect.
The time elapsed since the heart attack occurred is an important factor in determining the prognosis. The first few hours after a heart attack are critical, and the sooner medical treatment is received, the better the chances of survival and recovery. Being in intensive care means that he is receiving close monitoring and specialized care to address any complications that may arise. It is difficult to predict the outcome without knowing the specific details of his case, but being in intensive care is a positive sign that he is receiving the necessary treatment. It is important to follow the advice of the medical team caring for your uncle.

I had a stent put in my heart, and now, two years later, its blocked again. My doctor had to place another stent inside the blocked one. Is this normal or something I should be worried about?
Placing another stent inside an existing one is known as a "stent-in-stent" procedure. It is a common approach to manage blocked stents. The new stent helps to reinforce the existing one and improve blood flow. It is important to continue with prescribed medications such as dual antiplatelet therapy to prevent blood clots. Examples of medications include Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg daily and Aspirin 81mg daily. Regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor the stents and overall heart health.
