I'm dealing with chest pain and heaviness for about 2 years now, and Montair FX helps, but if I stop taking it, the symptoms come right back. Plus, I get side effects like stomach gas from it. What should I do? Is there a way to stop using Montair FX, or maybe there's another option I can consider?

View allI've been consistently walking over 10,000 steps a day, or about 10 kilometers daily, for the last 4 to 5 months without missing a day. Recently, I noticed that my resting heart rate is around 55 to 60. Is that something I should be worried about? I had an ECG done about three months ago before my gallbladder surgery, and everything seemed fine back then. Would appreciate any advice or insight.
You mentioned having an ECG done before your gallbladder operation 3 months ago. A resting heart rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically active and have a history of regular exercise. It can be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, it's important to consider your individual health history and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Since you have had an ECG done recently, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider to review the results and ensure that there are no concerning findings related to your heart rate. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate in this range is usually not a cause for concern.

Greetings, doctors. I'm really worried about my heart. I'm 36, weigh 45 kg, and stand 5'4". I've been through countless tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and USG, and they all show I'm normal. Despite this, I'm terrified that I'll die of a heart attack. I witnessed my cousin's grandmother die from a heart issue right in front of me a couple of years ago, and ever since, Ive been living in fear. Because of this fear, my heart's always palpitating, I have difficulty breathing, feel dizzy, and get chest pains sometimes. Even when I had palpitations, my ECG showed normal at 116 bpm. My blood pressure is also steady, usually at 12080 or 70. It's scary, and I've even quit my job over this stress. All my tests like thyroid, KFT, lipid, vitamins, and LFT are also normal. Should I consider coronary angiography or maybe something else? I'm just feeling lost and need guidance, please.
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to your heart health. Given your age, weight, and the normal test results you have mentioned, it is less likely that you have a serious heart condition. The symptoms you are describing, such as palpitations, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and chest pain, could be related to anxiety and panic attacks. To help alleviate your fears and symptoms, I recommend trying a medication called **Propranolol**. It is a beta-blocker that can help with palpitations, chest pain, and anxiety. You can start with a low dose of **10mg** once a day and gradually increase it as needed under medical supervision. In addition to medication, it would be beneficial for you to seek counseling or therapy to address the underlying anxiety and fear you are experiencing. **Sertraline** is an antidepressant that can also help with anxiety. You can start with a dose of **25mg** daily and adjust as needed. Remember to practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms. It is important to take care of your mental health as well as your physical health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, do not hesitate to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and support.
