I've been having chest pain for the past few months, and sometimes it's on the left side as well. I've noticed it in my left hand too. It kind of comes and goes on its own. Could you suggest what might be going on or what steps I should take?

View allI'm a 54-year-old guy and I've been told I need a heart pacemaker. So, before I go for it, I want to know all the details. Like, how does this thing actually work? What kind of care do I need after getting one? Is it going to be comfortable to live with? And most importantly, should I be worried about any side effects from having a pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. It uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. You may need a pacemaker if your heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. After getting a pacemaker, you should avoid vigorous activities that could damage the device. It's important to attend regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to ensure the pacemaker is working properly. Most people find living with a pacemaker to be comfortable and are able to resume normal activities. However, you should avoid certain activities that can interfere with the pacemaker, such as using certain medical devices or undergoing certain medical procedures. Common side effects of a pacemaker include infection at the site of implantation, bleeding, bruising, or swelling. In rare cases, there may be complications such as a collapsed lung or a punctured blood vessel during the implantation procedure. It's important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

I'm really worried because my doctor said I have IRBBB on my ECG and that it's nothing to be concerned about. I'm 40 now and was fit until my early 30s. Will this affect my future life? I'm feeling really tense about it.
Having incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) on your ECG is usually not a cause for concern, especially if your doctor has reassured you about it. It is often considered a benign finding. However, if you are feeling tense and anxious about it, it's important to address your concerns. To help manage your anxiety, you can consider relaxation techniques, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your anxiety persists, you may also speak to your doctor about it. In terms of your future life, IRBBB itself typically does not have a significant impact on your overall health or longevity. As long as you continue to follow a healthy lifestyle and attend regular check-ups with your doctor, you should be able to maintain your well-being. If you have any further concerns or symptoms, it's always best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I'm a bit confused about my previous diagnosis of mild mitral valve regurgitation. My old doctor assured me everything would be fine, but suggested a check-up around 2017-18 just for peace of mind. Another doctor on Practo agreed there was nothing major to worry about. But, sometimes I still feel something around the valve and it's kind of stuck in the back of my mind. Can you help me find some reputed doctors or clinics in Bangalore to get this checked out? I'd really appreciate any assistance with this.
