Hello dear See presence of smoking makes individual more susceptible to systemic condition like respiratory issues and cardiac arrest Iam suggesting some tests for confirmation. Please share the result with cardiologist in person for better clarity and for safety please donot take any medication without consulting the concerned Serum troponin Serum tsh Serum ferritin Serum LDH Chest x ray ECG echo Serum CRP Serum LDH Serum cpk mb Hopefully you recover soon Regards
Hello
This could still be a heart attack — even without jaw pain, arm pain, or sweating. Unbearable chest pain + shortness of breath = medical emergency until proven otherwise.
Heavy alcohol use, smoking, and gutka (tobacco) put him at very high risk of heart disease.
Many heart attacks do not show the “classic” symptoms people expect.
👉 If he has chest pain again now or it hasn’t been medically checked: Take him to the nearest emergency department immediately or call emergency services.
Do not wait.
Why urgent evaluation is needed
• Repeated severe chest pain episodes over months • Risk factors (alcohol, tobacco, smoking)
• Shortness of breath
• Symptoms can vary widely between people
What doctors will check • ECG (heart tracing) • Blood tests for heart damage • Blood pressure and oxygen These tests quickly confirm or rule out a heart problem.
I trust this helps Thank you Take care
The symptoms your father is experiencing are concerning and should not be taken lightly. While he may not have all the “classic” symptoms of a heart attack, the nature of his pain, especially given his history of substantial alcohol, tobacco, and smokeless tobacco (gutka) use, suggests that a cardiac issue could be at play. Heart attacks can present differently in different people; it’s a myth that one needs to have all the traditional symptoms like jaw or left arm pain and sweating to be suspicious of it. It’s important not to rely solely on symptom patterns to rule out heart conditions. He should seek a medical evaluation as soon as possible. A doctor will likely recommend some tests like an ECG, blood tests to check for myocardial enzymes, and possibly imaging studies, which can help in diagnosing a heart condition. These tests can identify whether the heart muscle has been compromised and determine the appropriate next steps for treatment. If it turns out to be angina or another related heart condition, managing risk factors will be critical. Given his lifestyle factors, cardiovascular risk reduction strategies would be significantly beneficial. Encourage him to see a healthcare provider right away for an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. If this pain is quite severe or if new symptoms develop, an emergency room visit is warranted promptly. Avoiding delay in emergent situations is crucial to prevent potential complications or progression to more serious outcomes.
