I've been having this pain in the heart area of my chest for over three months now, and it happens about twice a week. I haven't been doing any kind of exercise recently. I'm starting to get really worried about it. Could this be something I should be concerned about? What might be causing this, and what should I do?

View allI'm wondering if I should consider getting an angiography. This morning I had a TMT, and back in 2012, I had a stent surgery because of a blockage. I have all the screenshots of my TMT report. What do you think?
Based on your history of stent surgery in 2012 and the recent TMT conducted in the morning, it is important to assess the current status of your coronary arteries to determine if there is any blockage or narrowing that may require intervention. Angiography is a common procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries and identify any blockages. Considering your history and the recent TMT results, it would be advisable to proceed with angiography to get a clearer picture of the condition of your coronary arteries. This will help in determining the appropriate course of action, whether it involves medical management, further interventions, or monitoring. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and to schedule the angiography procedure. It is important to follow up on any recommendations based on the results of the angiography to ensure optimal management of your cardiac health.

I'm really concerned about my mild MVP diagnosis that was confirmed by a cardiologist about 15 months ago. The cardiologist recommended an ECG every year, but I'm worried about what this means for the future, especially considering my age. My last ECG report from December 2014 mentioned mild mitral valve prolapse, but everything else seemed normal, like the other valves and chambers. There wasn't any significant regurgitation, and the ventricular systolic function was normal. Should I be worried about any long-term issues, or is there something specific I should be doing to keep an eye on this?

My grandfather has been diagnosed with a sclerotic aortic valve and also has COPD. I'm really concerned about his health. Could you suggest any treatments or tests that we should consider? I'm just worried about how these conditions might affect him and would appreciate some advice on what steps we should take.
For sclerotic aortic valve, the treatment usually involves managing symptoms and monitoring the condition. Medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, or diuretics may be prescribed to manage symptoms. In severe cases, aortic valve replacement surgery may be necessary. For COPD, treatment may include bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation. It is important to avoid smoking and minimize exposure to lung irritants. Tests that may be recommended for further evaluation include echocardiogram to assess the aortic valve function, pulmonary function tests to evaluate lung function, and chest X-ray or CT scan to assess the lungs. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist and pulmonologist is essential to monitor the conditions and adjust treatment as needed.
