How to prevent heart attack

Hello Nazrana Ji,

A heart tumour, although rare, requires careful evaluation and treatment by specialists. The best approach depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor, as well as your wife’s overall health. Heart tumours are usually either benign (non-cancerous), like myxomas, or malignant (cancerous), like angiosarcomas. Treatment options often include:

1. Surgery is usually the primary treatment for benign tumours, removing the tumour and preventing complications. Cardiac surgeons typically perform these surgeries, and outcomes are generally positive for benign cases.

2. Doctors may sometimes recommend close monitoring if the tumour is small and does not cause symptoms. Medications may also be prescribed to manage symptoms or prevent complications.

3. If the tumour is malignant, treatment may involve a combination of surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. In some cases, a heart transplant may be considered. Additionally, if fluid buildup in the chest is causing discomfort, doctors may insert tubes to help drain the fluid and relieve symptoms.

We recommend consulting with a cardiac surgeon to discuss the best approach for your wife’s condition.

At HexaHealth, we can help you connect with highly qualified specialists and guide you through the process.

Hello Seema Ji,

Sudden chest pain radiating to the back and resolving on its own in 10-15 minutes, especially when it's recurring, could potentially indicate a few medical conditions. Some possible causes include:

1. Angina: This occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood, causing temporary chest pain that may radiate to the back, shoulders, or arms. It typically resolves with rest.

2. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Acid reflux can sometimes cause chest pain that radiates to the back, mimicking heart-related pain.

3. Musculoskeletal Pain: Muscle strain, especially in the chest or back, can cause similar symptoms, often resolving quickly after movement.

Given the symptoms, it’s essential to rule out any heart-related conditions. Immediate consultation with a healthcare provider and tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, TMT (stress test), and possibly a chest CT scan can help pinpoint the cause. It’s especially important if this pain is associated with exertion or shortness of breath. In the meantime, try to note any triggers for the pain and avoid heavy physical exertion until you get checked.
