I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.

View allSo, I'm 14 and have been masturbating for about a year now. It feels really good when I do it, but afterwards, I notice that my heartbeat feels louder and sometimes it races. Can you tell me if that's normal or if I should be concerned?
It's important to know that changes in heart rate can be influenced by various factors, including anxiety, stress, and physical activity. However, if you're concerned about these symptoms, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness to help manage your symptoms.

I've been having this issue since an incident a few months back. I was eating crunchy peanut butter, and it got stuck in my food pipe, which led to some pain on the left side of my chest. It's been three months now, but I still feel pain in my chest sometimes. My heart rate also seems to elevate out of nowhere, even when I'm just lying down. Is there a link between the peanut butter incident and these heart symptoms? I've had an ECG and Echo, and both came back normal. I'm wondering if something could be wrong with my heart or if it's all just in my head. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
It's good that you have already done ECG and Echo tests, and the results were normal. The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to esophageal irritation from the incident with the peanut butter, rather than a heart issue. To help with the chest pain and elevated heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to further reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may also consider taking a medication like Propranolol to help with the elevated heart rate. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about the normal size of the abdominal aorta since my recent echocardiography showed my aorta measures 3 cm. The abdominal ultrasound indicated it was normal. Should I be concerned about this size?
The normal size of the abdominal aorta is typically less than 3 cm in diameter. Since your aorta size is 3cm, it is at the upper limit of normal. It is important to monitor this closely to ensure it does not increase in size. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes.
