I'm 22 and my resting heart rate is 112. Is this something I should be worried about? I haven't had any cholesterol or high blood pressure issues, and there aren't any heart problems in my past either.

View allI'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel discomfort in the middle or middle-left part of my chest whenever I'm stressed or overly worried about something, like my mother's sickness. It usually lasts for an hour or two and then goes away on its own. I'm a bit concerned about whether this could be a sign of a serious heart problem. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and how it could be treated?
no its because of stress , reduce it

I'm feeling a heaviness in my chest that seems to come from where the heart is, but it's only happening in the winter. During the summer, I don't experience this at all. Is it something normal or could it be a heart-related issue?
This could be due to a condition known as stable angina, where chest discomfort or pain occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood flow, often triggered by cold weather. To alleviate symptoms, you can take a medication like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.
Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.
