I've been having this weird pain, like in my heart and behind it, and it's been slowly moving to my shoulder. Now my mouth is super dry and I'm even feeling some pain near the top part of my left arm, right above my heart. What could this mean? Should I be worried about these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take a tablet of aspirin (325mg) to help thin the blood and reduce the risk of further complications. Call emergency services or go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. If someone finds out they have it early on, can it be treated even if it can't be completely cured? What kind of problems might the person face, and how does it affect their chances of living a full life?
If Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is detected at an early stage, it can be managed effectively to improve symptoms and prevent complications. Medications such as beta blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) or calcium channel blockers (e.g. Verapamil) may be prescribed to help relax the heart muscle and improve blood flow. In some cases, antiarrhythmic medications like Amiodarone may be used to control abnormal heart rhythms. In addition to medications, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and avoiding excessive alcohol intake are important in managing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. In more severe cases, procedures like septal myectomy or alcohol septal ablation may be recommended to relieve symptoms and improve heart function. Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy may face issues such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, and an increased risk of abnormal heart rhythms or sudden cardiac arrest. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. With proper management and adherence to treatment, the survival chances for patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy can be good. However, it is important for patients to stay compliant with their medications, follow a healthy lifestyle, and attend regular medical appointments to optimize their long-term outcomes.

I'm a bit worried after getting some chest pain, and my doctor did a 2D Echo test and now suggests an angiogram. I'm really concerned if an angioplasty is absolutely necessary after that? Could you help me understand if the angioplasty is always needed after an angiogram or if there are situations where it's not required?
it is not necessary to undergo angioplasty compulsorily after angiogram ,if some defect is found then angioplsty is needed
