I've been experiencing this heavy feeling in my chest, and sometimes there's a little pain too. It's been going on for about a month now, maybe 34 days. I haven't really had any medical issues before this, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?

View allI'm feeling pretty anxious because I've had this heavy feeling in my chest since yesterday. I went for an ECG and it showed Tall T waves. Is this something I should be really worried about? I'm attaching my ECGs, and the second one was done an hour after the first. Could this possibly be hyperkalemia because I had a couple of coconut waters and eggs? Would appreciate any clarity on this.
Tall T waves in an ECG can be a sign of hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in the blood. It can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. To lower your potassium levels, you can take medications like Kayexalate to help remove excess potassium from your body. The usual dosage is 15-60 grams orally 1-4 times a day. Additionally, you should avoid high potassium foods like coconut water and bananas. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I had piles surgery back in 1980 and have been fine since then, but lately I've noticed bleeding when I squat. I'm also a heart patient currently on meds like Nitrocontin, Ecosprin, Ator, Dilzem SR, and Losar. Is it safe for me to take Pause 500 twice a day for this issue?
kindly visit a general surgeon for clinical examination

I've had a coronary angiogram back in 2011, and my doctor advised me to take aspirin for the rest of my life. I'm a bit concerned and just want to know if this is really safe. Also, can you tell me what side effects I might experience? And is it okay to take aspirin during my monthly periods?
Aspirin is commonly prescribed for long-term use in patients with a history of coronary artery disease. It helps to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The common side effects of aspirin include stomach irritation, ulcers, and increased risk of bleeding. It is generally safe to take aspirin during monthly periods, but it is always recommended to consult with your doctor for personalized advice. The recommended dosage for aspirin for heart health is usually low dose, around 75-100mg per day. Please follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of taking aspirin.
