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?

Ive got rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimotos. I just had an ECG at a walk-in clinic for a pre-op check-up and it showed non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement. Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried and see a cardiologist about it?
The non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement on your ECG could be indicative of various conditions, including cardiac issues such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial ischemia, or structural heart disease. Given your medical history of rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimoto's, it is important to further evaluate these findings. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, it would be beneficial to monitor your blood pressure regularly and ensure that your rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's are well controlled. If any symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath occur, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm noticing my heartbeat feels really strong and visible in my stomach and chest all the time. Sometimes when I'm just sitting, it actually makes my body move with each beat. Is that something normal? My heart rate usually sits between 70 to 80 beats per minute, and my blood pressure is around 12090. Does that sound okay?
Having a visible heartbeat in your stomach and chest, along with feeling strong pulsations, can be concerning. This may be due to a condition called aortic aneurysm or other cardiovascular issues. Your blood pressure of 12090 is slightly elevated and should be monitored. It's important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
