Should I Be Concerned About My Left Arm Pain?
Hello. I was sitting on the couch on my phone and started feeling a pain and comes and goes on my left arm. After a few minutes I started massaging my shoulder and back and it stopped. 1h after when I was falling asleep it came back and I massaged again and it stopped. Is it something I need to worry about?

Pain on the left arm can be one sign of a heart attack. These signs are more serious if a person has other risk factors, like high blood pressure, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. A cardiologist should be visited for more thorough investigations

The symptoms you described seem arduous. Shortness of breath, dizziness, discomfort in the chest region, and pain on the left side often indicate cardiac complications. In certain instances, despite normal test results, cardiovascular issues persist. The medications prescribed aim to regulate elevated blood pressure levels. However, consulting a cardiologist once more might provide valuable insights.

Hi, I have been experiencing chest pain since Nov'18. Post which I have done 7 ECG test, a stress test and the results were normal. I was advised hyperactivity medicines, however the pain never stopped. I met a Gastroenterologist, who confirmed no issues. Than I met a cardiologist who suggested for 2D echo, did it, it was normal. Then I did sonography, stage 1 fatty liver observed. Than did angiography, no blockages observed, however the blood flow is slow. Now I am left with nothing... The chest pain still persists, post angiography I also feel numbness in my left arm. Don't know what to do. I was recommended following medicines post angiography... strovas Dilzem sr Pan 40mg I have already started following a proper diet. Avoiding junk food, extra salt, oil etc. This has started affecting my work and i am unable to deviate from the thought of the pain
Chest pain can have various causes, even if initial reports appear normal. Potential reasons include:
Musculoskeletal Issues: Strained muscles or costochondritis may cause chest discomfort.
Gastrointestinal Conditions: Acid reflux or gastritis may mimic cardiac pain.
Psychological Factors: Stress and anxiety can contribute to chest pain.
Respiratory Issues:Conditions like pleurisy or inflammation of lung lining.
Nerve Irritation:Conditions affecting nerves in the chest may cause pain.
If chest pain persists or worsens, consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation to rule out serious conditions.

I use menoxidel 5% but I have some issues First for some time heart rate increase Second is pain in chest for some times So this is normal or not And I use it for beard growth I use it 2-3 weeks
Male | 20
A faster heartbeat and chest discomfort aren't normal side effects when using minoxidil for facial hair growth. These signs could mean something else health-wise. Stop using the product, and talk to a cardiologist. They'll do an exam and guide you on the right next steps.

Male | 21
Perhaps your muscle strain caused the soreness, or maybe acid reflux triggered heartburn. However, chest pain could signify heart troubles too. When you experience tightness, pressure, or pain there, relax undisturbed. Yet if symptoms worsen rapidly, see a cardiologist right away.

Ok. Actually the procedure helps open the blocked artery and prevent future blockages. After cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle changes are normally recommended to take care of heart health and reduce the risk of heart issues in future. Still consult your cardiologist for personalized advice.

I was diagnosed with hypertension at age 13. I started taking Lisinopril 5mg daily with great results. Two weeks ago i noticed my resting bloodpressure is perfect (104/67-120/80) but as soon as i stand it rises to 121/80s-139/90s and distolic goes even higher the longer i stand and increased palpatations sometimes with discomfort. I do not work. Im 29 year old male. Ive avoided standing and exercise sence i noticed changes. What could this be. Thyroid bloodwork is normal.
Male | 29
You are possibly having orthostatic hypertension, which is a sharp rise in blood pressure when getting up from a sitting position. I would suggest that you see a cardiologist who can do the necessary tests to identify the underlying cause and after that offer the right treatment.

i ise ems massager highest electricity on heart chest for5 minwhat will happen to me, no pre hearr issue
Male | 14
With the highest electricity setting on an EMS massager for 5 minutes, your heart can get hurt even if you do not have any heart conditions. Preventing to use of any electric device near your chest, especially without medical supervision, is crucial. You should see a cardiologist immediately if you have any heart-related symptoms.

Chest pressure is filled. This has been going on for 15 days. I am 25 years old
Male | 25
It is vital to visit the doctor if the chest pressure lasts for 15 days. It could be a symptom of a serious condition that is related to the heart and lungs. I suggest you see a cardiologist or pulmonologist for a thorough examination and treatment regimen.

A few days ago my friend had an open heart surgery, but after a month or two he was called to the hospital again, and was put to sleep on a ventilator and the doctor said that the blood has clotted and compacted, He is put to sleep so that his brain does not suffer any damage.Can she get well and go back home?
Female | 28
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's condition. It sounds like there have been complications after the open-heart surgery, leading to blood clots. These clots can be serious, and the doctors are taking precautions to prevent brain damage. It's important to consult with the cardiologist who performed the surgery and the critical care specialist managing the case to understand the prognosis and next steps. They will be able to give you the best advice regarding her recovery and when she might be able to go home.

you should first consult with your cardiologist following bypass surgery before consuming any food. They can show you which foods to eat and how much of them is enough for a healthy heart. If you have any other questions, please turn to your cardiologist.

My mother has recently been diagnosed with a heart tumor. She was told that it was not causing problems with blood flow. Surgery was not advised. She has had three bouts with edema, one was serious. She had type 2 diabetes which is well controlled. She has high blood pressure. She is the most active woman her age that I have ever known. Why shouldn’t she have surgery? It doesn’t seem like the tumor is asymptomatic at all.
Female | 83
Sometimes, doctors may decide against surgery for heart tumors if they believe the risks outweigh the benefits, especially in older patients or those with other health conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Her edema could be due to other factors. It is best to consult with a cardiologist who can give a detailed explanation and guide you on the best course of action.

Please visit a doctor in person. This will help in better evaluation and diagnosis. Based on that, the doctor will suggest some medications etc. to manage the heart rate and CAD. Also, it is important to regularly monitor the blood work to see if the medications are working and the condition is not worsening.

Please seek a detailed opinion of a cardiologist with your echo report and discuss your critical concern of LV inflow doppler relaxation pattern. It may be typo error, but you still have to be sure about it and seeking your doctor's professional help will be a good idea.
