I'm experiencing some heart-related issues that are making me a bit anxious. Back in December 2019, I had a fast heartbeat and some pain on my left side, so I went to a cardio doctor in Patna. After running an ECG, he prescribed me clonozepam, etizola, and a beta blocker, which really helped at the time. But lately, I've been noticing this fluttering sensation in my heart, and it's making me wonder if it's something I should be worried about or if it's fine to just ignore it. Could you give me some advice on this?

What are the signs of a silent heart attack for someone my age? I'm a young guy and just trying to understand what I should look out for.
A silent heart attack, also known as a silent myocardial infarction, can occur without the classic symptoms of chest pain. For young males, signs may include unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, discomfort in the upper back or jaw, nausea, sweating, or lightheadedness. These symptoms can be subtle and often mistaken for less serious conditions. It's crucial to be aware of these signs, especially if you have risk factors such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, or obesity. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical evaluation promptly.

I'm Rohit, and I'm from Delhi. Back in December, I had some chest pain and got an ECG done. The doctors thought it might be type 1 Brugada morphology. I've since done a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, TMT, CT Angiography, and a 24-hour holter test, all of which came back negative. The doctor said it's asymptomatic since I don't have ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, a family history of sudden cardiac death in a close relative under 45, or anything like that. Now, I'm planning to get married and just want to be sure about the Brugada syndrome diagnosis. Do you think it's a good idea for me to take a Flecainide or Ajmaline challenge test to confirm whether I have Brugada syndrome? Also, could you recommend any hospitals in India, especially near New Delhi, where I could get this test done? Would appreciate any info you have!
Yes, you can undergo a FlecainideAjmaline challenge test to confirm the presence of Brugada syndrome. This test is commonly used to unmask the Brugada ECG pattern in individuals suspected of having the syndrome. In India, you can consider getting this test done at reputed hospitals like AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) in New Delhi, or at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, New Delhi. It is important to undergo this test under the supervision of a cardiologist experienced in managing Brugada syndrome, as the test involves administration of a sodium channel blocker (Flecainide or Ajmaline) which can induce changes in the ECG pattern characteristic of Brugada syndrome. This test should only be performed in a hospital setting with facilities for managing any potential complications that may arise during the test. Before proceeding with the FlecainideAjmaline challenge test, it is advisable to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the test with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision.
