View allI'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?
Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly

I'm just wondering if my ejection fraction being 54 is something I should be worried about. I'm 30 years old, male, and I usually have low blood pressure. Does this mean I'm at risk for heart failure?
yes cardiac markers and angiogram is advised.

My dad is 62 and he's been pretty active, walking around 4 to 5 kilometers every day and maintaining a positive attitude overall. He has high blood pressure, something that runs in our family. I've started keeping an eye on his heart rate, and I noticed it's usually around 57 beats per minute and sometimes even drops to 50. Should I be worried about this, and do you think he needs to see a doc for a check-up?
A resting heart rate of 50-57 beats per minute is generally considered to be within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who are physically active like your father. However, since your father has a history of high blood pressure and his heart rate occasionally drops to 50, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying heart conditions or medication side effects that may be contributing to the lower heart rate. It's important to have a comprehensive evaluation to ensure his heart health is optimal.
