Hello sir
Thanks for asking the question
I understand your concern and noted it.
Heaviness in chest can be due to multiple reasons, in elderly person patient should first rule out all the cardiac causes leading to heaviness in chest
At times ECG may not detect any cardiac causes
Please kindly consult to discuss the course of action. And let me help you to clear your all doubts
Next Steps
It would be better to consult a cardiologist or get some basic investigations done like hs Troponin-I, 2d Echo serum creatinine and electrolytes.
Health Tips
Please watch for any breathing difficulty, chest discomfort or chest pain radiating to left arm, jaw or neck or back, sweating, nausea, palpitations and elevated blood sugar levels
If you notice any above mentioned symptoms please go to nearby emergency room immediately to get evaluated
Kindly do consult if you have any doubts or any queries regarding your health
Patient health and safety is our first concern here
Regards
Dr Mohammed Salman Mohiuddin
