Hello sir, I am suffering from chest muscle tightness from past 2 years. It can be felt more while lying on bed. I release the stiffness by moving my neck and head on opposite side of stiffness. It again happens after few minutes. I have consulted ample of doctors, some say due to posture, some say due to gastritis etc. Sir please suggest to me what needs to be done as it is hampering my day to day activities.
Male | 26
Based on your description, it is likely that you are experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. This can be caused by poor posture or muscle strain. However, since you have already consulted with multiple doctors and the symptoms continue to persist, it is recommended that you visit a specialist such as a cardiologist or pulmonologist to rule out any underlying cardiovascular or respiratory conditions.

Is it possible to get any advice on a heart related issue. I will put diagnosis down. Large pseud o aneurysm left ventricle coutanid rupture.
Male | 66
A big bulging area in the heart's main pumping chamber might burst, creating problems. Squeezing chest pains, skipped heartbeats, breathing trouble; those are signs something's off. An earlier heart attack or operation sometimes causes this condition. Get urgent care from a cardiologist who'll prescribe meds or operate, preventing worse issues if it ruptures.

I am 38 years old male runner and training for marathon,, but on some days while running I lose my energy and feel dizzy and unable to continue, sudden hunger and my strength completely fades for about a quarter of an hour and then I continue. I noticed that my blood pressure drops through examination (80/40) so I did blood tests, ECG, chest x-ray, sinus x-ray and everything is good. What can be the cause, and what should I check next?
Male | 38
These symptoms could be due to factors like dehydration, low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalance, overexertion, or cardiovascular issues not detected by routine tests. You should consult a cardiologist with expertise in athletes to evaluate your training regimen, nutrition, and overall health for personalized guidance

Slightly hole in heart It can be controlled or finished
Male | 11 days
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a small hole in the heart between its chambers. Some people may not show symptoms, while others might experience fatigue and shortness of breath. Don't worry—many cases don’t require treatment, and if needed, your doctor will recommend the best option, which could be surgery. Remember to have regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor the condition's progress.

I went to urgent care yesterday for chest pain. They told me that my EKG said that my heart might not be getting enough blood/oxygen flow on the right side, and could have been from a mini heat attack from smoking even though I’m only 17. Should I go to the hospital since I’ve had this pain now for about 3 days?..
Female | 17
I'd advise that you go to see a cardiologist very soon. Chest pain may present very serious issues with the heart, especially at your age. A cardiologist would further investigate the etiology by doing an echocardiogram or a stress test and then give appropriate management.

Driving may resume within 1-2 weeks if feeling well. You can take short walks, but avoid strenuous exercise initially. Pranayama's benefits await, yet start gently, listening closely. Should chest pain or dizziness arise, cease activity and rest. You can also talk to your cardiologist for advice.

Chest pain could signify high cholesterol, meaning excessive fat in the blood. This situation carries risk, as it can obstruct heart-bound blood vessels. To resolve this, your husband can adopt a wholesome diet, engage in physical activity, and consume prescribed medication if necessary. You can also consult a cardiologist.
