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 experiencing some persistent chest pain, and it's been going on for over two months now. It feels like a pinching pain right in the middle of my chest, but sometimes it shifts to the right or left side. There are also times when my heart starts beating really fast. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT done, and all the results came back normal. I'm still feeling this pain and it's quite unsettling. Could you help me figure out what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?
it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of non-cardiac chest pain. Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, the chest pain may not be related to your heart. One common cause of such symptoms could be acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the chest pain. Additionally, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may need to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. It's also important to avoid trigger foods like spicy, fatty, or acidic foods. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider if the symptoms continue."

I got an ECG done yesterday and it shows a slight ST depression in V3. Should I be concerned about this? I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable on the extreme left side of my chest, which is why I went for the ECG in the first place. There aren't any other pains or symptoms bothering me. By the way, I took the test about 40 minutes after finishing a workout at the gym - would that have any impact on the results?
Slight ST depression on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if you have no other symptoms. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and the timing of the ECG after a workout, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend you take a low dose of Aspirin 75mg for now to prevent any clot formation and consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling this weird pain and burning sensation in my chest, along with some restlessness. It's not happening all the time, but it's definitely concerning. Could you please suggest what might be going on and what I should do about it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux or mild gastritis, which can cause chest discomfort and burning. Avoid spicy or oily foods, eat smaller meals, and don't lie down immediately after eating. If the pain persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
