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.

View allIve noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?
Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had bypass surgery back in September 2022, and every now and then she gets this angina-like pain near the stitches in her chest. It's really unsettling. Plus, she's dealing with type 2 diabetes and thyroid issues too. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what we should do about it?
It is important to manage angina pain effectively, especially after bypass surgery. I recommend she takes Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The dosage is usually 0.3 to 0.4 mg every 5 minutes for up to three doses. Additionally, she can take Aspirin to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. The usual dosage is 81mg to 325mg once daily. Since she is diabetic, it's crucial to control her blood sugar levels. She can take Metformin to help manage her diabetes. The usual starting dose is 500mg or 850mg once daily with meals. For her thyroid condition, she can continue taking Levothyroxine to regulate her thyroid hormone levels. The dosage will depend on her TSH levels as determined by her doctor.

I've been diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy and my doctor has put me on Dytor 5 Plus and Cardace 1.25. He mentioned I need to take these meds for 6 months, but I'm a bit worried about whether it's really safe to be on Dytor 5 Plus for such a long period. Could there be any side effects from taking it for 6 months or maybe longer?
