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 a 36-year-old unmarried woman with a slim build and usually pretty active, but lately due to lockdown, Ive been sitting and working a lot. Today, I decided to do some cleaning, like mopping and sweeping, and afterwards, I started having really strong palpitations and felt restless, especially around my neck where the carotid artery is. I'm still experiencing palpitations with any physical work and feel a bit breathless because of them. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, but after looking it up online, Im worried it might be a heart attack. My citys still in lockdown, so I cant visit a doctor, and I'm scared something serious is going on. Can you advise on what might be happening and what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing palpitations and restlessness after doing physical work. These symptoms can be concerning, but it is important not to jump to conclusions like a heart attack without proper evaluation. It is possible that the increased physical activity after a period of inactivity is causing these symptoms. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a rest and lying down in a comfortable position. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid any stimulants like caffeine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you can take a tablet of propranolol 10mg for palpitations. However, if you continue to feel unwell or if the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention. I would recommend monitoring your symptoms closely and if they continue or worsen, please seek medical help as soon as possible

My mom's cardiologist suggested open heart surgery for her severe mitral stenosis but I'm really worried about such a major procedure. I heard about balloon valvuloplasty as an alternative - could that work for her condition? What would you recommend as the best option for her severe valve problem?
