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.
