I've been dealing with some serious chest pain for the last five months, and along with that, I've been feeling really weak and fatigued. My stamina has dropped a lot, and I get tired super quickly. On top of that, my heart races really fast. My resting heart rate is usually around 80 to 90, but if I start walking, it shoots up to 120, and just climbing two floors slowly takes it to around 160. Is this something to worry about? I had an ECG done, and it came back normal, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any insights on this would be really helpful.
Based on your symptoms and heart rate response to physical activity, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may be experiencing symptoms of angina or heart failure. I recommend you start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and reduce chest pain. Additionally, you should also take a blood thinner like Aspirin (75mg) to prevent blood clots. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
