I've been feeling some pain in the middle of my chest, right at the top, for the last couple of months, and it seems to be getting worse every day. I've also been dealing with catarrh for a few years now. Could these be related, and should I be worried about this chest pain getting worse?

View allI'm really worried about my grandma. She's 87 and has no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease; but she recently had a silent heart attack. She started complaining of breathlessness a few days later, and tests showed a weakened heart. They treated the pulmonary edema with lasix, and her pulse saturation seems stable now. Should we consider going for angioplasty?

Im 52 and have a history of CAD. I went through bypass surgery back in 2004, and now my hearts at 35EF. Im currently doing a chelation treatment and am really wondering if this is the right move for me. Could you please explain if this treatment is beneficial or not?
Chelation therapy is a controversial treatment for heart disease. While some studies suggest that it may help reduce the buildup of plaques in the arteries, the overall evidence is not strong enough to recommend it as a standard treatment for CAD patients. It is important to note that chelation therapy also carries risks and side effects. In your case, as a CAD patient who has already undergone bypass surgery, it is crucial to follow the advice of your cardiologist. They are in the best position to assess your individual case and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you. It is important to continue taking any prescribed medications, such as antiplatelets, statins, and blood pressure medications, as these have been proven to reduce the risk of heart complications in CAD patients. If you have concerns about your current treatment plan or are considering chelation therapy, I recommend discussing this with your cardiologist to get personalized advice based on your medical history and current condition.
