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'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with dizziness and lightheadedness for about three weeks now, and on top of that, I've had chest and shoulder pain for the past 45 days. Could these symptoms be related? I'm really anxious about whether this might be a heart issue. What do you think?
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, and shoulder pain, could be related to a heart problem. It is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg for chest pain and Clopidogrel 75mg for heart protection. Additionally, you may require further evaluation and tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or cardiac enzymes to determine the cause of your symptoms and the appropriate treatment.

I've been trying to lose weight but whenever I exercise, I feel this tightness in my chest and get out of breath super quickly, like even just climbing stairs or walking. It's hard to breathe and my heart starts beating really fast. My blood pressure is on the high side too, usually around 135100, and I have a fatty liver. What should I do about all this?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been taking ecosprin AV but he's been having some abdomen pain, so the doctor suggested a USG, and they also mentioned theyll do a TMT test. In the meantime, they've switched his medication from ecosprin AV to a mix of Telmisartan and Metaprolol Succinate until they can do the TMT test. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the USG and TMT tests done today. Is it safe for him to stop taking ecosprin AV for now?
it is advisable to follow your doctor's instructions regarding medication changes. In this case, since your father's medication has been changed from Ecosprin AV to Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination, it is important to continue with the new medication as prescribed. Once the TMT test and USG are conducted, the doctor will be able to provide further guidance based on the results. It is generally not recommended to stop medication abruptly without consulting the doctor. Therefore, please continue with the Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination as advised by the doctor
