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?

I already saw a cardiologist and did some tests to make sure it's not heart disease because I'm a 35-year-old guy who was recently told I have hypertension. Can someone help me figure out what might be causing this?

My mom had an angioplasty a couple of weeks ago, and she's also got type 2 diabetes. I'm really concerned because her ESR level is at 78. Should I be worried about this? Does it mean something serious?
An elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 78 mmhr indicates inflammation or infection in the body, which can be concerning, especially in a patient who has recently undergone angioplasty and has type 2 diabetes. While a high ESR is not specific to one condition, it warrants further investigation to identify the underlying cause. It's important to consult with your mother's healthcare provider to determine the source of the elevated ESR and address it appropriately. They may recommend additional tests or treatments based on their findings. Close monitoring and managing her diabetes effectively are also crucial to avoid complications.
