I've been having a heavy feeling and some pain on the left side of my chest, close to my heart, since this morning. I'm really concerned that it could be something related to my heart, even though I'm only 28. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something else?

I'm really worried about someone close to me whos been diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. How long do you think they might be able to live with this condition?
The lifespan with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) varies significantly depending on many factors, including age at diagnosis, overall health, lifestyle changes, adherence to treatment, and response to medications. With modern treatments and proper medical care, many people with DCM can live for many years or even decades after diagnosis. The 5-year survival rate has improved significantly in recent decades, especially for those who receive early treatment and follow their doctor's recommendations. Rather than focusing on general statistics, it's best to discuss your specific case with your healthcare team, as they can evaluate your particular situation, including the severity of the condition, other health factors, and your response to treatment.
