My grandfather, who's around 75, has been experiencing some discomfort in the upper left side of his chest just above his heart. He thinks it's probably related to acidity. The pain started just a few hours ago, and he's not on any regular medication. Should we be worried about this being something more serious? What would you recommend we do next?

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain, and sometimes it's hard to breathe deeply. At night, my heartbeat seems to race, and in the morning, I'm dealing with a lot of cough. Could this be because of smoking, or is there something else going on that I should be concerned about?

My mom was diagnosed with chest pain on December 7, 2018. She's in the hospital, and the doctor did an angiography and is suggesting a bypass. I'm really worried and just want to know if the bypass is absolutely necessary and how long we can safely delay it. She's had blood pressure for about 10 years and diabetes for the last 4 years. Could you please advise?
"Hi Nirav, based on the information provided, if your mother has been diagnosed with chest pain and the doctor has recommended bypass surgery after performing Angiography, it is likely that the bypass surgery is necessary to improve blood flow to the heart. Given her history of high blood pressure and diabetes, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendation in a timely manner to prevent any further complications. I would recommend discussing any concerns or questions about the timing of the bypass surgery with the treating physician to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, it is important for your mother to continue taking her prescribed medications for blood pressure and diabetes as directed. For chest pain relief, she can take medications like Aspirin and Nitroglycerin as prescribed by the doctor. It is important to follow the doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications. Regular follow-up appointments with the doctor are also essential to monitor her condition and make any necessary adjustments to her treatment plan. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Take care."
