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 allCan we avoid going through angioplasty even though there are two clots in the heart? The patient seems fine, so I'm wondering if we could just start rehab without surgery.
Angioplasty may be necessary to treat the clotting in the heart to prevent any potential complications. However, if the patient is stable and asymptomatic, a conservative approach can be considered. It is important to closely monitor the patient's condition and follow a strict medication regimen. Rehabilitation can be started under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Medications such as antiplatelets (e.g. Clopidogrel) and anticoagulants (e.g. Warfarin) may be prescribed to manage the clotting. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to assess the need for any further interventions.

I'm wondering if it's normal for my heart rate to go up to 150-160 when I'm doing cardio at the gym or climbing stairs, and then drop to around 110 when I go for a walk. I've had several ECGs done and just had an echo two days ago, and everything seems fine. My resting heart rate usually falls between 55 and 100. Should I be concerned about these numbers?
It is normal for your heart rate to increase during physical activities like gym cardio, climbing stairs, and walking. Your heart rate of 150-160 during intense exercise and 110 during walking is within a normal range for physical exertion. Since your ECG and echo results are normal, there is likely no underlying heart condition causing these heart rate variations. It is important to stay hydrated and listen to your body during exercise. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or fainting, please stop the activity and seek medical attention.
