I'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest right below the breast. It's a bit worrying because it gets slightly worse when I take a deep breath, and now I can't even sleep on my left side because it hurts too much. Could you let me know what's going on or what I should do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.

View allI've had a permanent pacemaker for over three and a half years now. My health has been really great lately, and I'm feeling fit and fine. I'm curious to know if there's any possibility of getting the pacemaker removed at this point.
I'm glad to hear that your health is good. The decision to remove a permanent pacemaker is based on individual circumstances and should be discussed with your cardiologist. If your heart condition has improved significantly and no longer requires the pacemaker, it may be possible to have it removed. However, this decision should only be made after thorough evaluation and consultation with your cardiologist.

I've been seeing several cardiologists and had a bunch of echoes and TMTs, but I'm still feeling really rough. I used to get panic attacks but haven't had one in about a year. These last 3 days, I've felt off and noticed my blood pressure is on the rise, getting up to like 140104 or 13495. I saw a cardiologist who is a DM, and he said the ECG was normal but the echo showed mild TR, RSVP 45mmHg, and mild PAH. He prescribed me Dilzem 90. This morning I woke up and my heart rate was 111, and honestly, I felt like I was gonna collapse. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. Given your history and current symptoms, it's understandable to be concerned. While your ECG and echo results show mild issues like mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension, the elevated heart rate and BP need close monitoring. It's essential to follow up with your cardiologist and maybe explore further tests or adjustments to your treatment. Anxiety can also play a big role, so managing stress alongside medication might help stabilize things. Stay in touch with your doctor for tailored advice and reassurance.

I'm getting really tired when I dance or do even small heavy tasks, and I'm not sure why. I already had an ECG, and it came back normal. I'm just wondering if there's something else that could be causing this?
Feeling tired during physical activity could be due to various reasons, even if your ECG results are normal. One common reason for this could be iron deficiency anemia. I recommend you to take iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily after meals for a few months. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in iron and other essential nutrients. If the symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.
