I've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.

I'm 29 and feeling anxious about the possibility of having a heart attack. My blood pressure and blood sugar levels are normal, my TSH is normal too, I have no bad habits, and I weigh 55 kg. Is it still possible for me to have a heart attack?

It is uncommon for someone with your profile to have a heart attack at such a young age. However, there are other factors that can contribute to heart attacks, such as family history, cholesterol levels, and overall lifestyle. It is important to continue monitoring your health and consider regular check-ups with your doctor to assess your overall cardiovascular risk.

Hey, I was wondering at what point of heart or coronary artery blockage do doctors usually recommend angioplasty? I've been reading up on it and I'm a bit worried. Appreciate your insights on this!

ngioplasty is recommended depends not just on the percentage of blockage, but also on symptoms, overall heart health, and the location of the blockageIn patients with symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, a blockage of 70% or greater is usually considered significant enough to benefit from angioplasty to restore blood flow to the heart.
