I'm feeling a bit worried because all my tests like ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram came back normal, but I'm still having symptoms every day. Could it be microvascular angina or maybe spasms in my arteries, or is it something else entirely?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Based on your normal test results and everyday symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing microvascular angina or spasms in the arteries. In such cases, medications like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be helpful in relieving symptoms. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed. Additionally, medications like Calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine can also be prescribed to help with vasospasms. The typical dosage for Amlodipine is 5 to 10 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really concerned because my heartbeat is only 20 and I'm having trouble breathing. Can you tell me how much your EECP treatment costs? How long does the treatment usually take? And could you walk me through the whole treatment process? I'm eager to understand more about what to expect.
For your condition, EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) treatment can be beneficial. The treatment fee can vary depending on the healthcare facility and location, so it's best to inquire directly at the clinic. Typically, an EECP treatment course involves 35 one-hour sessions, usually conducted over a span of 7 weeks (5 sessions per week). During the treatment process, you will be comfortably lying on a bed with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around your legs. These cuffs will inflate and deflate in sync with your heartbeat to increase blood flow to your heart and improve its function. This non-invasive treatment can help improve your heart function and alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath. I hope this information helps.

I'm a bit worried about my health right now. I've had hypertension for about 9 years and just found out there's an issue with my heart, something about left atrial enlargement. I'm experiencing symptoms like peripheral edema, dizziness, and even feeling faint sometimes. Is this something that can be reversed or might it turn out to be really serious?
Left atrial enlargement is a common complication of long-standing hypertension. While it may not be completely reversible, managing your blood pressure effectively can help prevent further enlargement and reduce the risk of complications. To help manage your symptoms and condition, you can take medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to control your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, your doctor may recommend a diuretic like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help with the peripheral edema. It's important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and reducing stress to improve your overall health and prognosis.

I'm really concerned about this chest pain I've been experiencing since September 2016. It's deep on the right side of my chest, and it's not sharp, but more like a burning sensation. It feels like there's this big hollow hole and sometimes it feels like something's writhing or like a contracting muscle in there. It's at its worst when I'm sitting up. The only time I feel a bit relieved is when I'm leaned back at least 45 degrees or lying down. Ive noticed it gets worse on days I dont get enough sleep, but it doesnt seem to be affected by food or anything else. I don't have trouble breathing, exercising, or sleeping, but this feeling is constantly there throughout the day. Sometimes it's so intense I have to pause everything and lie down. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
anxiety or stress issue
