I've been having this sudden sharp chest pain that comes and goes in about 3 minutes. It gets worse when I breathe deeply or move around. Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I have a small perimembranous VSD and got checked by a doctor a year ago who said everything was normal. Should I keep getting follow-ups every 2 years or do I need surgery or device closure? Also, can you suggest affordable hospitals for the procedure since I'm from a middle-class family?

I'm really worried about what to do if someone suddenly has a heart attack. Could you tell me what essential medicines should be given right away or what things we should always have at home just in case?

In case of a sudden heart attack, it is crucial to act quickly. The most important medication to have on hand is aspirin. It is recommended to chew and swallow one full-strength aspirin (325mg) as soon as a heart attack is suspected, as it can help prevent further blood clotting. Additionally, nitroglycerin can be helpful in relieving chest pain during a heart attack. If the individual experiencing the heart attack has been prescribed nitroglycerin in the past, they can take it as directed by their healthcare provider. It is also important to have emergency contact numbers readily available, such as 911 or local emergency services, in case immediate medical attention is needed. Regularly checking and maintaining an automated external defibrillator (AED) at home can also be life-saving in such emergencies. Remember, quick action is crucial during a heart attack, so it is important to seek medical help immediately.
