I have left sided, lower rib pain underneath my left breast. It feels sharp, but only lasts for 5 minutes. When I breathe deeply, it gets irritated. I was wondering if this is something serious?

The symptoms you told can have various causes, from muscle strain to potential lung or chest wall issues. It may or may not be serious but its imp to check with a cardiology specialist as they can perform tests to know the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment, ensuring any serious conditions are ruled out.

Seeny mein bohat pain Hy plz help
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.

Male | 40
He should immediately consult a cardiologist as he has very high blood pressure which could be a serious health concern. Swelling in the face is a sign of a more severe condition that needs urgent medical attention.

What treatment would you suggest to person with LVEP 10% still the person is walking and talking normally
As per my understanding, the patient is having LVEF 10% and is walking and talking normally (leading a normal active healthy life). To me it seems to one of the rare case where a person having LVEF 10% and leading active healthy life. You should consult a cardiologist and get the ECHO repeated either there may a mistake in the previous report or if it's a miracle then it should be studied further.

Hello, We've visited one of the top cardiologist in Bangalore who has recommend that a bypass is not necessary based on the angiogram report. The same cardiologist had successfully operated earlier, where a stenting was done. However, my brother in law who is a doctor and based out of Canada has a different opinion (based on the report and the advice from his friend (cardiologist) who thinks and is certain that a bypass is necessary within the next 2-3 weeks. We have 2 extremely contrasting opinions. We would like to get a second opinion from a cardiologist is Bangalore. Please recommend. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Regards, Kiranp
As per my understanding you are having two different opinions by two cardiologist regarding the treatment of your patient, so the confusion has arise, but to decide what is a best treatment of patient, clinical examination matters a lot, along with evaluation of reports. Therefore you can always take one more opinion from another cardiologist, who will examine your patient, asses their clinical condition, consider other comorbidities, their general health, and evaluate the older treatment, as well as decide what will be the best. Please be free to take advice from a cardiologist who clear all your doubts - Best Cardiologists in Bangalore. Hope this helps you.

I am HCM patient.i am 38 years old.what is best treatment and medicine for me
Managing HCM at 38 isn’t easy, but it can be done. HCM thickens the muscles of the heart, which may affect the flow of blood. You might start experiencing chest pains, shortness of breath or even fainting spells. Taking drugs like beta blockers helps to calm down your heart as well as control these signs from occurring again. In addition, staying within certain limits when being active and not engaging in strenuous activities could work in your favor too. Always keep in mind that following what the doctor says is important!

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.

My mother went to a cardiologist to change her blood pressure medication only to find out she has fluid in her heart
Female | 60
Your mom might have extra fluid around her heart. It happens when the heart struggles to pump correctly. Heart disease or high blood pressure often causes fluid buildup. To treat it, her cardiologist may give her medicine. The medication helps remove excess fluid and strengthens the heart's pumping ability.

It is important that you see your doctor to discuss the results of your blood tests and any other symptoms you are experiencing. Your doctor can provide you with more information regarding your TSH level and what it means for your health. He/she may recommend further testing and/or a change in medications if necessary.

Based on your symptoms, this syndrome might be POTS. POTS possesses an excessive heart rate while sitting down, as well as weak and dizzy upon standing. For further evaluation and diagnosis, you are advised to visit a cardiologist.

My father is suffering from sever triple blockage in arteries, admitted to hospital but as he is a obese person they refuse to do cabg he weighed 92 kg now,they have put one stent but 2 arteries are left with 100 % blockage, is there any problem in future ,can he do regular activities ,he is an advocate . please beg you answer this .Is there any issues found that 2 blocked arteries ???
As per my understanding, the patient seems to have triple vessel disease and the doctor has put one stent, but two other arteries having 100% blockage are left untreated. The ideal treatment for triple vessel disease is CABG, but there may be some more underlying factors due to which the cardiologist may have advise against CABG. You can always take a second opinion from other cardiologists, who on evaluating the patient and the reports will guide and clear all your doubts. Consult some of the Best Cardiologists in Mumbai, or any other city. Hope our answer helps you.

Chronic chest pain could be a symptom of some serious underlying disease. The most prevalent cause of chest pain is muscle aches, but different cardiac and pulmonary conditions have to be eliminated. I recommend that you see a cardiologist or pulmonary doctor.

These might be symptoms of different medical conditions including anxiety, acid reflux, or indigestion. However, having the cardiologist do the checkup for you is a better option since you might have a heart-related condition that the layers might not realize.
