I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm 52 and had bypass surgery back in 2004. Right now, I'm getting chelation treatment for my heart (35EF). I'm not sure if this is the best option for me can you explain whether chelation treatment is really helpful in my case?

Stop this treatment immediately. At present this treatment is not advocated by any professional cardiac society. U may end up having kidney failure. Always get time tested therapies. If y want u can get second opinion by other certified cardiologist

I'm dealing with both mitral and aortic valve stenosis, plus some leakage, and I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if that's possible. Is there anything that can help me steer clear of needing valve replacement surgery?

Mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve leakage can be managed with medication to help control symptoms and slow down the progression of the condition. For mitral valve stenosis, you can take medications such as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, beta-blockers to control heart rate, and blood thinners to prevent blood clots. For aortic valve leakage, medications like ACE inhibitors or ARBs can help reduce strain on the heart and improve symptoms. It is important to regularly monitor your condition with your healthcare provider and follow their recommendations for medication dosage and frequency.
