I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

View allI've been experiencing some weird symptoms lately that have me feeling pretty uneasy. I'm 23 and for a few months now, I've noticed some strong palpitations in my chest. It's especially strange because they often happen around noon, and I've even felt my whole body shake with my heartbeat when I'm trying to sleep. I've already had an ECG and ECHO done, and everything seemed normal. My mobile app is showing a fast heart rate around noon, too. On top of all this, I've been dealing with gas problems and quite a bit of anxiety. What do you think could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and tremors due to anxiety and gas problems. To help with your symptoms, I recommend the following: - For palpitations and fast heart rate, you can take Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. - For anxiety, you can try taking Alprazolam 0.25mg as needed to help manage your anxiety symptoms. - For gas problems, you can take Simethicone 125mg after meals to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. It's also important to practice stress-reducing techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms.

I'm a bit worried about my health as I recently got some test results back. My lipoprotein ALPA level is 39.1, and my hemoglobin count is 17.7. I've already done an ECG and a 2D echo, and those reports came back fine. Should I be concerned about these numbers indicating any heart disease, even though the other tests were okay?
Your lipoprotein (A) value of 39.1 is within normal range, which is a good sign. A high level of LP(a) is considered a risk factor for heart disease, but your value is not concerning. Your hemoglobin (HB) level of 17.7 is also within normal range. Since your ECG and 2D echo reports are fine, it is unlikely that you have any significant heart disease based on the information provided. It's important to continue monitoring your lipid levels and overall heart health regularly. No specific medication is needed at this point.

I'm really concerned about my current situation. I've had mitral heart disease for 7 years now, and I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. My cardiologist mentioned I might need open heart surgery after delivering. Is it safe for me to proceed with the pregnancy given my heart condition? Also, I'm not clear whether the surgery would be a valve replacement or just a repair. Could you help clarify? My recent echo showed severe mitral regurgitation, among other findings. Just trying to understand what this all means for me and my baby.
