my question is regarding my grandmother of almost 90. she recently has stated to me that after sitting down from doing an activity. when she stands up she feels pressure in her chest. it doesn t seem to last too long but it has been occuring for a week now and i believe a bit more frequent when she spent the day outside of the house with family. any need for conern?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, we should definitely rule out heart diseases in your grandmothers case. She is almost 90 years of age. So possibility of age related coronary artery disease (CAD) is high and this can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo3. Stress test (trade mill test) 4. Coronary angiography (if required). She may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor.  If all these reports are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your grandmother. Thanks.
