As per my understanding you are an athlete so you would be definitely fit but since you are complaining of constant chest pain and discomfort post lunch and dinner, kindly consult and get evaluated by a cardiologist. If he does not find any pathology in heart, then consult a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation; follow the treatment suggested by the doctors. Consult a cardiologist and Gastroenterologist.

My dad had Bypass surgery a one half month back and since that day onwards he is getting dry cough with no mucus, we met operating doctor and although he gave medicines its not controlling plz suggest something what should I do
Multiple factors may cause a persisting dry cough following bypass surgery – medication reaction or due to the surgical procedure itself. Follow up with your dad’s cardiologist who operated on him. If the current treatment does not work, they may need to change his medicines or find other reasons for coughing. Furthermore, it could be beneficial to consult a pulmonologist because sometimes lung related problems might be causing the problem. The best way to deal with this symptom effectively while ensuring your dad’s comfort and recovery is through prompt, proper medical evaluation.

My eyes goes red and heart beat go fast after drinking
Male | 31
If you drink and your eyes turn red or your heart starts beating fast, it could mean that you are allergic to alcohol. This happens when your body cannot process alcohol properly. To help yourself feel better, try reducing your intake or not drinking at all. Also, drink a lot of water and get enough sleep so that your organism can recover.

Hello.. Iam 65. It's been a week I had my mitral valve replacement. Doctors replaced my mitral valve with mechanical valve.Is mechanical valve safe for me? As my age is 65..? Please reply me..
Female | 65
Mechanical valves are safe for most patients, even for those who are 65 years old but there are some risks. Patients with mechanical valves need to take blood thinning medication for the rest of their lives to prevent blood clots from forming on the valve, which can be a serious complication.

The person got BP 130/80 and pain in left arm right to the shoulder and left side of chest but when he get tested his reports were normal not a sign of heart attack or etc. what does it mean?
Female | 20
The person may have had a musculoskeletal injury or inflammation which causes pain in the left arm and chest. Nevertheless, it might be hard to identify the precise reason without a careful study. Thus, it is necessary to consult a cardiologist for further detailed evaluation to rule out any serious heart disease.

Can anemia cause heart palpitations?
Male | 35
In anaemia, your heart will try pumping more blood to compensate. This causes palpitations and increases the heart rate.

My mother suffering with DCMP LVEF 20â„…. Now very weak. Please suggest best and guaranteed medicine for early relief so that EF can early increase. Also advise diet and related precautions. Thanks
Female | 51
There is no such guaranteed medicine for DCMP LVEF. And to start the course of treatment, physical examinations and tests are required. For a healthy diet, you can include lots of fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains. Meditation, light exercise or yoga may also help you reduce stress which will eventually benefit your health.

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.

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.

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.

Experiencing upset stomach, bloating, and shortness of breath can be caused due to gastrointestinal issues, food intolerances, or other medical conditions. Consult a good hospital where they can evaluate your condition and perform the tests required.. and recommend medications or diet changes, and evaluate if shortness of breath is related to the stomach symptoms or requires a separate assessment by a cardiologist.
