I'm 30 years old and started having chest pain and tingling back in December 2016. I went through all the tests like ECG, 2D echo, and a stress test, and everything came back negative. They told me it's anxiety, so I've been on Depranex and Betacap. Lately, I've been getting this burning sensation that starts from my stomach or chest. It also feels like I'm being pricked on the left side of my chest and back. I'm really not sure what's going on with me, and it's making me worried. Could you give me some advice on what might be happening?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety and possibly acid reflux. The burning sensation starting from the stomach or chest could be due to acid reflux, and the feeling of being pricked on the left side of the chest and back could be related to nerve pain or muscle tension. To address your symptoms, I recommend the following: - Continue taking Depranex for anxiety as prescribed. - For acid reflux and burning sensation, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name: Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. - For nerve pain or muscle tension, you can try taking Gabapentin (brand name: Neurontin) 300mg once daily at bedtime. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

View allI'm dealing with this dull aching pain under my left breast, near my armpit, and it's been there for about two years now. It feels a bit better if I press on it, but it's still really painful. I was put on anxiety meds, but they haven't helped at all. What could be causing this pain and is there anything else I could try?
Ecg is recommended along with serum electrolytes..A physician and ortho opinion is advised to the patient..

I'm really worried about my mom's situation. She's dealing with restrictive cardiomyopathy, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension. The doctor suggested she takes sildenafil 20 and Isolazine 20 three times daily, but I've read that mixing these meds can sometimes lead to serious issues. Could this combo be risky for her? She's also on seloken XL 25, Tide 10, and Dabigatran 110. Any advice would really help.

I recently recovered from COVID and it's been about 20 days since my first symptoms with all my reports coming back negative. I'm only dealing with some post-COVID weakness now. I've noticed that when I'm resting, my heartbeat is typically between 60 and 80 bpm, and sitting it's around 75 to 90 bpm. But when I climb stairs, it jumps to about 145 to 150, and while walking, it's around 125 to 130. Is this normal after recovering from COVID because of the weakness I have? I had an ECG and a TMT last month as part of a regular check-up before COVID, and the TMT was normal even when my heartbeat reached 196. Everything was fine back then. Should I be concerned now?
Your increased heart rate while climbing stairs (145-150) and walking (125-130) after recovering from COVID-19 can be attributed to post-COVID-19 fatigue, dehydration, and reduced cardiovascular endurance, but given your recent normal ECG and TMT results, it's likely a temporary condition; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting your doctor or a cardiologist for a follow-up evaluation, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, gradually increase physical activity, and monitor your heart rate and overall health.
