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.

My mom has had diabetes for 10 years and has been experiencing chest pain while walking for the last 3 months. We just got her angiography report, and the doctor suggested bypass surgery right away. Does she really need the surgery based on the findings?

It's crucial to understand that while your mother's symptoms and diabetes history are concerning, a definitive answer to whether bypass surgery is necessary requires a detailed review of the angiogram findings and a discussion with her doctor.
