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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been having these frequent palpitations lately, and my heart seems to be pounding harder than usual. I had an echo done a couple of months ago, and it came out normal. I just did an ECG a couple of days ago, and I've attached the results. Should I be worried about this?
The ECG you have attached shows sinus tachycardia, which means your heart is beating faster than normal. Since your echo two months back was normal, this may be due to other factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or thyroid issues. I recommend you to take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate and palpitations. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

My aunt has a heart problem and doctors recommended a heart valve replacement, including Dr Anil Bhan last year. We couldn't afford it then, but now she's admitted at SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar and her condition is serious. She has young daughters, so we really need to figure this out. Can you tell me the approximate cost for the valve replacement surgery, including hospital stay and medicines? We need to arrange funds quickly to save her life.
Heart has 4 valves in all . I would need to see a 2 D Echo and then decide what surgery and then predict appropriate cost
