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 allI'm a bit concerned as my recent blood test showed a triglyceride level of 143. I'm wondering if that's considered high and if I should be worried about it. Do you think I need to take medicine for this, or are there lifestyle changes that could help lower my levels?
Triglyceride level of 143 is within the normal range. To help reduce triglyceride levels, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. You can also consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to your diet. No medication is required at this level.

I recently had a 2D echo and ECG done on the 5th of Jan and they came out normal. Now I'm having neck and shoulder pain and I'm worried. Could this be a sign of a stroke? I'm a patient who had an ASD device closure.
Neck and shoulder pain can have various causes and may not necessarily be a sign of a stroke. However, given your medical history as an ASD device closure patient, it is important to monitor any new symptoms closely. To address your neck and shoulder pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the affected area and practice gentle neck and shoulder stretches. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist or healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing some issues and I'm really worried. Whenever I masturbate during the day, my heart starts pounding really loudly afterwards. And then at night, I feel this burning sensation in my chest and it's so hard to breathe. It's okay during the day but when night comes, it feels really difficult to breathe. I just want to feel healthy and I'm scared something might be really wrong. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
