I've been having this sharp pain at the bottom of my chest and when I talked to a doctor about it, they mentioned it might be due to gas. They advised getting an ECG, which I did, and I've attached the results here. I smoke about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day and have been eating out quite a bit recently because of work travel. I'm 75kgs and 5 feet 7 inches tall. What should I do next?

The sharp pain in the bottom of your chest could be due to gastritis caused by excess gas. Based on your ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities detected. However, smoking and consuming hotel food frequently can exacerbate your symptoms. To alleviate the gas and chest pain, you can take an over-the-counter antacid like Ranitidine 150mg twice daily before meals. Additionally, you should try to quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes per day. It is also advisable to avoid spicy and oily foods, and opt for a more balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can also help improve your symptoms.

View allI'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?
For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

My dad had bypass surgery back in 2000 and has been on meds since then. He's 60 now and after a recent health check, the doctor said his heart is working at 30% and recommended an angio. What exactly happens during an angio and what should we do next to improve his health?
An angio (angiography) is a procedure using X-rays to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or narrowing. To improve his health, your dad should focus on a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quitting smoking if he smokes. He should also continue taking his prescribed medications as directed.
