I'm experiencing this weird vibration-like sensation in the upper left side of my chest that's been going on for a couple of days. Initially, I thought it was just acidity, but its been almost 45 days now. Any idea whats causing this and how I can fix it quickly?

View allI'm a 30-year-old with health anxiety and I've been tracking my heart rate. When I'm resting, it jumps between 50 and 65, but during sleep, it drops down to 48. However, whenever I stand up, my heart rate shoots up to over 100, sometimes even reaching 120. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about how much it fluctuates?
When standing, a heart rate above 100-120 beats per minute can be considered normal, especially if you are experiencing anxiety. However, it would be best to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your health anxiety. For anxiety, you can try relaxation techniques and therapy. In case of severe anxiety, medications like Sertraline (50mg daily) or Escitalopram (10mg daily) can be prescribed by a doctor.

I'm a bit confused about my recent heart tests and need some advice. I had a TMT test that was positive a few months ago, and even after showing it to a cardiologist and doing an echo test, which was normal, they still suggested an angiogram because the TMT stayed positive. When comparing the latest TMT results to the previous one, it seemed slightly better but still came back positive. So, I went for a coronary angiogram and found out I have double vessel disease. The plan mentioned possibly needing a PTCA with a stent in the mid LCX RCA. I'm wondering if managing it with medication, diet, meditation, and exercise might be an option, or if the stent is really necessary. I don't have any symptoms like chest pain, hand pain, or dizziness, and my blood pressure and sugar levels have been under control for years. What do you suggest?
Based on your medical history and the findings from your tests, it is important to follow the treatment plan given by your healthcare provider. In addition to the PTCA with stent procedure, it is crucial to adhere to a healthy lifestyle which includes medication, diet, meditation, and exercise to help control your condition. The prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, and Metoprolol will help in managing your condition. It is also essential to follow a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider, practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, and maintain a healthy weight. Regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist are necessary to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm really worried because my homocysteine level is 93. Is that really dangerous? I also have MVP with moderate MR. I'm relieved that my white and red blood cells are at normal levels. Should I be concerned about the high homocysteine given my condition?
Hi, based on your homocysteine level of 93, it is considered high. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking a combination of medications such as Foltx (folic acid 1 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 1 mg) once daily. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and management.
