I'm experiencing some pain in the middle of my chest since last night. I think it might be related to stress and maybe even gastric issues. Should I be considering a heart checkup just to be safe, or is it okay to just monitor it for now?

It is important to rule out any potential heart issues, especially if you are experiencing chest pain. However, based on your description and suspicion of gastric-related pain due to work stress, you can start with an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for relief. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure which is at 13095I've already seen my physician and done a ton of tests like LFT, KFT, and a whole body USG with a renal artery Doppler. Everything came back normal, but they mentioned it's rising for unexplained reasons. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?
Given that all tests are normal, your physician may consider your high blood pressure (13095) as "essential hypertension" or "idiopathic hypertension," meaning it has no identifiable cause, and recommend lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep, along with possible medication to manage and control your blood pressure

I've been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and mild mitral regurgitation. Lately, I've been hearing this strange sound or feeling a vibration from my heart every now and then. It seems to go away after a while, but it's a bit worrying. I did another echo, and it still shows mild regurgitation. Could this sound or vibration mean my mitral regurgitation is getting worse? I've also been dealing with gastric issues. I'm only 22 years old, and I'm trying to figure out if these things are related or if I should be concerned about it. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed a short PR interval of 109. I'm not experiencing any symptoms right now, but Im worried if this could lead to any future health problems. Should I be worried about this?
Short PR interval on ECG can be a sign of an abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. This can sometimes lead to a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which may increase the risk of certain heart rhythm problems. Since you have no symptoms currently, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. In case of any symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or fainting, you should consult a cardiologist. However, for now, no specific treatment is needed.
