I've been experiencing a constant pain in my chest and the surrounding area. It happens about twice a week or sometimes just once a month. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it?

The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox for relief. You can take them as directed on the package insert. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to figure out the best method or test to determine if my heart is in good condition. I've heard that an echo might not fully guarantee a healthy heart. Can you clarify this for me and maybe suggest other reliable options?
The best way to check the health of your heart is through a combination of tests. One of the most common and effective tests is an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of your heart. Additionally, an Echocardiogram (Echo) can provide valuable information about the structure and function of your heart. To get a comprehensive assessment, you can also consider a stress test to evaluate how your heart performs under physical exertion. These tests, along with blood tests to check cholesterol and other markers, can give a good indication of your heart health.

I'm really worried about my mom's 2D Echo report that mentions Aortic Valve Sclerosis. It also states LV Diastolic Dysfunction, Mild TR, Mild PAH, and Trivial MR AR, but no Intracardiac Masses or pericardial effusion. What caught my eye was the doctor's advice for an angiogram. Is that truly necessary? What kinds of risks are we looking at if we don't go for it? Would appreciate your guidance on whether this is a standard procedure or if alternative approaches exist.
yes angiogram is advised .
