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've been having some concerns lately, so a few weeks ago, I had breathlessness and noticed my blood pressure was up at 140106. Went to get an ECG and Echo done the ECG showed some mild variations, and the Echo showed mild LVH. That same day, my BP was 150100, so they kept me under observation for about 4 hours and sent me home with a prescription for a 5mg BP medicine for a month. But here's the thingI didn't take the meds because I'm worried about getting dependent on them. I've been checking my BP regularly and it's mostly between 12887 and 13090, though I did have one reading of 13890. Do you think it's okay for me to keep skipping the medicine and just try focusing on lifestyle changes? Am I making a mistake here by not taking it? Would love some advice on this.
Based on your medical history of having mild variations in ECG, mild LVH on Echo report, and elevated blood pressure readings, it is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. Skipping blood pressure medication can increase the risk of complications such as heart disease, stroke, or kidney problems, especially since your blood pressure was previously elevated at 150100. I recommend that you do not skip your medication and continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor. In addition to medication, incorporating lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium, regular exercise, stress management, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can also help in managing your blood pressure. If you have concerns about forming a habit of taking medication, you can discuss this with your doctor to address any fears or doubts you may have. It is important to prioritize your health and follow the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare provider.

I've been experiencing this really strong heartbeat almost every day, and it's not like palpitations. It happens for no reason, even when I'm just sitting or trying to relax. It's so intense that, for a second, it feels like my heart has stopped. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be a reason for this?

I had piles surgery back in 1980 and have been fine since then, but lately I've noticed bleeding when I squat. I'm also a heart patient currently on meds like Nitrocontin, Ecosprin, Ator, Dilzem SR, and Losar. Is it safe for me to take Pause 500 twice a day for this issue?
kindly visit a general surgeon for clinical examination
