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?

View allI've been noticing that every time I check my pulse rate, it's always above 100, sometimes even hitting 95 to 105. I'm worried about what could be causing this consistently high pulse rate. Can you help me understand the possible reasons behind it?
High pulse rate, also known as tachycardia, can be caused by various factors. Some common reasons for a high pulse rate in the range of 95-105 beats per minute include physical activity, stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid disorders, and certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate at different times of the day and in different situations to see if there are any patterns or triggers. If your pulse rate consistently remains above 100 beats per minute, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, staying hydrated, and avoiding stimulants to see if there is any improvement in your pulse rate.

I recently got my 2D Echo test results, and I'm trying to make sense of them. It mentioned things like mild thickening of the mitral valve, mild MR, mild concentric LVH, and that the chambers are normal with good LVRV function. There's also a mention of "No LV RWMA." I'm really wondering if these findings suggest a major issue with my heart or if it's more of a minor concern. I'm feeling a bit worried and would love some clarity on what this all means for my heart health.
MR treatment -diuretics,mital valve replacemet and repair .and blood thinners.like aspirin,brillinta,clopidogel and enoxaparin ,eliquis etc....
