Question 1

I'm really worried because I had Covid back in November 2020 and even though I got better with home quarantine, I've been having these palpitations. I was on Prolomet XL 12.5 for three months, but it was stopped and I don't have any other health issues. My weight is 85 kg and I'm 5 ft 7 in. Lately, I find myself googling symptoms a lot and after Covid, a few palpitations really made me anxious, and I think I've developed this fear of heart issues.

Between December and April, I had my ECG and 2D ECHO done twice and a 24-hour Holter monitoring, all of which came back normal. But now, for the past couple of days, I've been experiencing a little indigestion. Today, after lunch, I felt a mild pain around my heart, though it disappeared after a few seconds. Could this just be my anxiety, or should I get my heart checked out more thoroughly? Your advice would mean a lot.

Accepted Answer

Based on your history of palpitations post-Covid and your current symptoms of indigestion and mild pain in the heart area, along with normal ECG, 2D ECHO, and 24-hour Holter monitoring results, it is more likely that your symptoms are related to anxiety rather than a cardiac issue. To address your symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, I recommend continuing with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and maintaining a healthy diet. Additionally, you can consider therapy or counseling to help manage your anxiety. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about starting a medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help with anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your doctor regularly.

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned after my recent tests. My Echo and TMT came back normal when it comes to signs of a heart attack, but my cardiologist mentioned that my heart rate recovery was really slow after stopping the treadmill. This has me worried because I had some chest discomfort the day before the TMT. They prescribed me Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5 for two weeks and want me to come back after that. Should I be worried about these results? What could this slow heart rate recovery mean for me?

Accepted Answer

The slow heart rate recovery after exercise can be a concern and may indicate a potential issue with your cardiovascular health. The medications prescribed to you, Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5, are commonly used to manage heart conditions. You should take Ecospirin AV 7520 once daily and Corbis 5 as prescribed by your doctor. These medications can help improve blood flow and regulate your heart rate. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and attend your follow-up appointment as scheduled.

Question 3

Today I experienced some heat in my chest area, which is unusual for me, and it wasn't during my regular walks or runs either. I've been feeling mild chest pain on and off for the last eight months, but my tests like the echo ECG in April were normal, and my TMT in August came back negative too. I'm pretty active, walking daily and running, and haven't changed my dietno junk or spicy foods. Seeing the cardiologist got me a list of medications like Escitalopram, Gastoflora, and Alprazolam, among others, but I'm curious about this new sensation. Is it something to worry about, or could it be a side effect of the medications?

Accepted Answer

The heat on the chest area that you are feeling could be due to various reasons, including anxiety or musculoskeletal issues. The medications prescribed to you by the cardiologist are as follows: 1) Escitalopram tablets - 1 tablet in the evening 2) Gastoflora tablet - 1 tablet in the evening 3) Alprazolam tablet - 12 tablet in the morning and 12 tablet in the evening 4) Duloxetine capsule - 1 capsule after breakfast 5) Retizyme capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 6) Etoricoxib soft gelatin capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 7) Difen Gel ointment These medications suggest that the cardiologist may suspect an underlying anxiety or gastrointestinal issue. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule as advised by the doctor. If you continue to experience chest pain or any concerning symptoms, please follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.
