I've been having chest pain for a couple of days now, and it's pretty constant, especially when I'm just sitting or lying down. Plus, sometimes I get this pain in my shoulder and neck, and even occasionally a stomach ache. I'm 20, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm not overweight. Could this be something serious like a heart attack or angina? I'm kinda worried and not sure what to do.

Based on your symptoms and age, it is less likely to be a heart attack or angina. However, chest pain should never be ignored. It is important to rule out any serious conditions. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or acid reflux. I recommend taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums for stomach ache and trying ibuprofen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm feeling this weird breathlessness when I lie down, but it goes away if I turn to my side. I don't have a cough or fever, and I consider myself pretty healthy otherwise. Should I be concerned about this?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my dad he's just 43 and had a heart attack about a month and a half ago. They did an angioplasty and put in a stent, but now the doctor says one of his heart valves isn't working right and needs replacing. His heart is only working at 30% right now. Is it safe for him to go through a bypass surgery at this point, and if he does, how long can we expect him to live after that?
Atleast for a year any surgeries contraindicated.

I'm having some discomfort on my left side, and I've already done an ECG and ECHO 2D, both of which came back normal. My SPO2 level is also above 95. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on?
It's good that your ECG and ECHO-2D reports are normal and your SPO2 level is above 95. The discomfort on your left side could be due to musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the discomfort. If it's related to gas or indigestion, you can take an antacid like ranitidine (Zantac) before meals. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for these medications. If the discomfort persists or worsens, it's best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
