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 really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and has stents. But he also has this tobacco chewing habit that I'm trying to help him kick. I've been thinking about getting him to try nicotine gum, but I'm not sure if it's safe for someone with his condition. Could it cause things like palpitations or any serious heart problems? I'm really hoping it won't have any bad effects. Would love to get your thoughts on this.
Nicotine chewing gums can be suitable for your father to help him quit his tobacco chewing habit. Nicotine gums are generally safe for heart patients with stents, but it is important to use them under medical supervision. The most common side effects of nicotine gums include mild irritation of the mouth and throat, hiccups, and jaw ache. However, if used as directed, the risk of serious side effects such as palpitations is low. It is recommended to start with a lower dosage of nicotine gum and gradually reduce the amount over time. I recommend consulting with your father's cardiologist or a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate dosage and usage plan for him.

I'm really puzzled right now. My EKG keeps coming back abnormal, but the cardiologist didnt mention any problems before. I've started having palpitations, and there's been a lot of stress in my life lately. I decided to get a second opinion from a different cardiologist, but I'm confused. My EKG shows an incomplete right bundle branch block and a left anterior fascicular block. What does that even mean? My blood work is fine, my blood pressure is always excellent, and I dont have high cholesterol. Can you help me understand this?
Patient has heart block, cardiac opinion is advised, beta blockers,calcium channel blockers are advised..
