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.

I'm concerned because I've noticed my triglycerides are really high at 603, but my total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL are in the normal range. I'm a bit worried about this and I'm wondering what medication I should consider taking for the high triglycerides. Also, my heart rate is always above 100, sometimes reaching 116. Could the high triglycerides be causing my heart rate to be so high?
High triglyceride levels, like a reading of 603 mgdL, significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions and pancreatitis. While high triglycerides themselves typically do not cause an elevated heart rate, they can indicate underlying metabolic issues that might contribute to overall cardiovascular stress. It's essential to address these elevated levels promptly. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as fibrates (e.g., fenofibrate), omega-3 fatty acids, or statins to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes are crucial, including adopting a low-fat, low-sugar diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake. Given your elevated heart rate (100-116 bpm), it's also important to have this evaluated, as it could be related to various factors such as anxiety, thyroid issues, or other underlying conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I've been experiencing this cramp on the right side of my chest whenever I yawn. Its really painful for a bit, almost unbearable, but then it fades away. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it and how I can prevent it. Also, is there anything I can do to lessen the pain quickly when it hits?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle spasms or tension in the chest area, possibly due to deep or frequent yawning. To ease the pain quickly, try gently stretching or massaging the area. If it continues or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.
