I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've just been told I have a myocardiac bridge 1520. Lately, I've had a bit of right chest pain, some tightness, and I'm feeling kind of weak. Can you help me understand what's going on with me? I'm really curious and a bit worried.

Myocardial bridge is a condition where a segment of one of the coronary arteries tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, tightness, and weakness. In your case, with a myocardial bridge of 15-20%, it is important to manage your symptoms and monitor for any changes. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take medications such as Beta-blockers like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to reduce the workload on your heart and relieve chest pain. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for acute chest pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm really worried because last year I had strong issues with acidity, anxiety, and headaches. I even got an ECG in June 2018, and everything was normal back then. But since January 2019, I've been experiencing these sudden strong heartbeats that feel like a thump in my chest, even when Im just walking around. It's really upsetting and makes me anxious for days, thinking about why it's happening. Lately, I cant sleep at night and sometimes feel really empty and lacking enthusiasm. I saw a cardiologist who prescribed me Inderal, but Im just trying to understand what could be causing all this. Any idea what's going on with me?
Inderal can help control your physical symptoms, and addressing underlying anxiety through therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes should improve your overall well-being. If youre feeling stuck, consider discussing these issues further with your doctor or a mental health professional.

I've noticed that my resting heart rate usually falls between 53 and 60, and my blood pressure seems fine. I don't experience shortness of breath, weakness, or any faintness. I don't get tired during physical activities, either. Over the past couple of years, I've had ECG, TMT, and Echo tests done; they didn't show anything concerning. The only thing that came up was a grade I diastolic dysfunction on the Echo test, but my doctor said that was normal. I play cricket almost every weekend without any issues. Is having a heart rate between 53-60 something I should worry about? Do you think I should get it checked out or need any treatment?
Your resting heart rate of 53 to 60 beats per minute is considered to be on the lower side but can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically active like yourself. Since you do not experience any symptoms like shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, or exhaustion during physical activity, and your ECG, TMT, and Echo tests have not shown any significant abnormalities, there may not be a cause for concern. However, if you are still worried about your low heart rate, you can consult with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, continue to stay active and monitor your heart rate during physical activities. If further evaluation is needed, your doctor may recommend additional tests or monitoring.
