I'm dealing with severe anxiety and depression symptoms for the past few years, and I've had a couple of panic attacks. Now I'm seeing some ECG changes, but my Troponin levels are within normal limits. Both my ECHO and Angiography came out normal. Does this mean my heart is okay? Is it safe for me to do intense exercise? Sometimes I feel a sharp pain in my chest area that only lasts for a few seconds and goes away quickly. Any idea why my ECG has changed? What can I do about feeling weak all the time? And it's weird, but my feet are always cold. Any thoughts on what's going on?

The ECG changes could be related to your anxiety and panic attacks, but it's important to monitor them closely. To address the sharp pain in your heart area, you can take a low dose of a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) as needed for chest pain relief. For your weakness, you can try taking a daily dose of a multivitamin like Centrum to ensure you're getting essential nutrients. Cold feet can be improved by wearing warm socks and keeping your feet elevated when possible. Regular exercise is beneficial for anxiety and depression, but start with low to moderate intensity workouts and gradually increase the intensity based on your tolerance.

View allI'm a bit worried because my PRO BNP test came back abnormal with a value of 800. Can you tell me what steps I should take next? Is there any medication that can help lower it, or are there other treatments I should consider?
A high level of Pro BNP indicates heart failure. To decrease the Pro BNP levels, treatment usually involves medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a starting dose of 2.5-5 mg once daily, Beta blockers like Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25-50 mg once daily, and Diuretics like Furosemide at a starting dose of 20-40 mg once daily. Lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and weight management are also important in managing heart failure and lowering Pro BNP levels.

My dad had bypass surgery back in 2000 and has been on meds since then. He's 60 now and after a recent health check, the doctor said his heart is working at 30% and recommended an angio. What exactly happens during an angio and what should we do next to improve his health?
An angio (angiography) is a procedure using X-rays to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or narrowing. To improve his health, your dad should focus on a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quitting smoking if he smokes. He should also continue taking his prescribed medications as directed.
