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?

Can someone explain what's going on with my mom's ECG report? The doctor said it's abnormal, and we need to do a TMT test in a month. They've given us some meds, but I really want to understand what's up. Any insights?

While I can't view attachments, an abnormal ECG can indicate several potential issues, such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or abnormalities in the heart's structure. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendation to perform a TMT (treadmill test) as it will provide more information about how your mother's heart functions under physical stress. The prescribed medications are likely aimed at managing her condition in the meantime. Please ensure she follows her treatment plan and consults her healthcare provider if any new symptoms arise.
