Question 1

I'm feeling really worried because I've been having these sharp chest pains, especially on the left side when I breathe heavily. Sometimes it comes with a really bad headache and neck pain, plus I'm getting breathless a lot. My throat feels sore too, and I just can't seem to relax or focus at work anymore. I get tired really fast and all my energy just drains away. I spoke to my family doctor, but he just said it's work stress and my eating habits causing gastric issues. I'm not sure that's all it is. Do you think there's something more going on that I should be looking into?

Accepted Answer

gastritis one cause and do ECG to rule out heart problem

Question 2

I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've been having for the last eight months. Sometimes it's sharp and hits right in the center or other areas of my chest, and even my breast. I've also got this pain on the left side of my chest that spreads to my upper back on the same side. I had an ECG and a 2D echo done about five months ago, and everything looked normal then. But this pain really scares me, and I'm not sure what my next steps should be or which specialist I should see. My Spo2 levels are between 94 and 97, and my resting pulse is around 53 to 60 in the early mornings. Could you help point me in the right direction?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised cardiac markers, spirometry ad complete blood count.

Question 3

I'm wondering if having anxiety could affect how a procedure like angioplasty and stent placement goes. Since you're awake during it, could things like a fast pulse or high blood pressure from anxiety mess with the process? Is there any medication given to help calm you down?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety can indeed affect the angioplasty and stent placement procedure, as it can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure which may impact the procedure. To help relax the patient and manage anxiety during the procedure, medications such as Midazolam or Diazepam may be given. These medications can help reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and minimize any potential impact of anxiety on the procedure.

No need to stop medications , all the medications are to be continued including ecosprin.
