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 my mom recently had a heart attack and her LVEF is at 25. We have her on Zoryl twice a day to help with her diabetes, and we're planning on getting her blood sugar tested soon to see if it's working. But I'm really concerned about her NTproBNP levels being so high. Is this something that needs another medication to manage? Should I be really worried about the high NTproBNP levels, and does it pose a serious threat to her health right now? Any advice you could give would really help.
For acidity, consider: Lifestyle changes: Avoid spicy fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and manage stress. Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole. Probiotics to maintain gut health. A body temperature of 98.5F (36.9C) is within the normal range. Normal body temperature ranges from 97.7F to 99.5F (36.5C to 37.5C). Consult your doctor if you experience persistent acidity or other concerning symptoms.
