View allI'm feeling a tightness in my chest and it's like there's a squeezing sensation around my heart. My heart rate seems to be going really fast. I'm obese, about 5'4" and weigh 85 kg. My job is pretty sedentary because I'm at a desk all day, and I've had diabetes for about six months. Should I be worried about these symptoms?
"Chest tightness and squeezing sensation in the heart, along with a fast heartbeat, can be concerning symptoms, especially with a history of diabetes and obesity. These symptoms could indicate a heart problem and should be evaluated promptly. In this case, the individual may be experiencing a heart attack or angina. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. The individual may be prescribed medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help manage the symptoms and prevent further complications. The dosage and frequency of these medications will depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional."

Hey, I accidentally took two MetpureXL25 tablets this morning instead of just one. Is that something I need to worry about or should I just continue with my day as usual?
It is important to be cautious with this medication as it can lower your blood pressure and heart rate significantly. You should monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely for the next few hours. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or shortness of breath, please seek medical attention immediately. In case of overdose, treatment may include supportive measures and monitoring of vital signs. It is advisable to contact a healthcare professional or poison control center for further guidance. Please be more careful with your medication regimen in the future to avoid such incidents.

My dad recently had an ECG which turned out normal, but his TMT results showed positive for exercise-induced ischemia. I'm quite worried because his hemoglobin level is really low at 8.8. Do you think he needs an angiogram? I'm not sure what the best next steps are, and would appreciate your guidance.
Correct anemia first then can think to do stress echocardiography....to confirm..but If there are any risk facters like diabetes and hypertension or smoking or obesity or family history & inactive lifestyle...& symptoms of chest pain or breathing difficulty, angiography should be done Anyways need insight on all these & need to see the TMT strips to suggest the next best step.
