My dad had an angioplasty last month, and they put in a stent, but he's been feeling dizzy about 10 days afterward. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm really worried and not sure what to do next.

I've noticed that every time I sneeze, I feel this really sharp pain in my chest, and it even spreads into my arms. It's super painful but only lasts for about 15 seconds. Is this something I should be worried about?

An ecg is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about some symptoms I'm experiencing. I've been feeling this pain in the middle of my chest on the left side, and the back of my chest is hurting too. There's also a burning sensation in my stomach and esophagus, along with a cough. I went to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed it as burning in the stomach, gave me some medicine and an injection, and I felt a bit better afterward. But when I visited a physician later on, they did an ECG and mentioned something about a "left anterior hemiblock." Can you help me understand what might be going on or what this could mean?

The symptoms described by your father, including pain in the mid chest on the left side, burning in the stomach and esophagus, cough, and relief after medication and injection, along with the diagnosis of left anterior hemiblock on ECG, suggest that he may be experiencing symptoms related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help manage his symptoms, he can take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast. Additionally, he can take an antacid like Tums (500mg) as needed for immediate relief of burning in the stomach. It is also important for him to avoid spicy and fatty foods, as well as eating large meals close to bedtime. Regular follow-up with his physician is recommended to monitor his condition and adjust treatment as needed.

My mother was diagnosed with gall bladder stones and is scheduled for surgery, but the doctor noticed something unusual in her heart X-ray and recommended an echo. The echo results came back as 4243 at the clinic but showed 2025 when repeated at a government hospital. Why are the readings so different and what should we do next?

Kindly share further details
