My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been diabetic for 35 years and have managed it pretty well until now, but recently, I've started experiencing this sinking feeling and episodes of fainting and dizziness. I got an ECG done and it shows some blockage. Could this be related to my diabetes, and what should I do next?
Given your 35-year history of well-managed diabetes, the recent symptoms of sinking feeling, fainting, and dizziness, along with ECG indications of blockage, suggest a potential cardiovascular issue, such as coronary artery disease or cardiac autonomic neuropathy, so consult a cardiologist to discuss further testing, like angiography or stress tests, and develop a plan to address the blockage and manage cardiovascular risk factors.

I'm experiencing a really weird feeling in my chest that sometimes eases up when I take a deep breath. My heart rate speeds up occasionally too. I did a spirometry test, which showed normal results with my fev1fvc at 98.8, and my oximeter reading is at 98. I quit smoking about 2 months ago, but I still have some burping issues from gastric problems. It's got me worried, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be happening?

I'm really worried about having three blocked arteries in the heart. Is bypass surgery the best option for this situation, or are there other treatments I should consider? I've heard a lot about different procedures, but it's all a bit confusing. What do you recommend?
Yes, bypass surgery is often recommended for blockages in multiple arteries of the heart. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic tube. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will depend on individual factors and should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.
