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 about my cousin. Every time they're talking, they get this warm feeling in their left upper arm and chest. It feels kind of hot, and then there's pain in the upper arm, but it goes away after a while. Should we be concerned, or is this something that might be normal?

Can extreme fear and stress lead to a heart attack or cardiac arrest in someone under 25, even if they don't have a history of heart problems? I'm really curious because I've been feeling super overwhelmed lately and it worries me.

Extreme fear and stress can trigger a condition known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also called "broken heart syndrome," which mimics symptoms of a heart attack. In young people below 25, the risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest due to extreme fear and stress is very low. However, it is important to manage stress and anxiety to maintain overall heart health

I've been dealing with anxiety disorder and was on Ciplar LA 20 for that. My pulse used to be around 55. The doctor recently switched me to Ciplar LA 10, and now my pulse rate is up to 90. I'm wondering if that's something to be worried about? My blood pressure is 12080 and my SpO2 is at 98%. Any thoughts on what this might mean?
