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've been taking propranolol 10mg for my anxiety whenever needed, and it's been a big help. But lately, I've had to take it every day for about a week, and now I'm experiencing this sharp, stabbing pain in the center of my chest that goes to my back. I'm not sure if it's just anxiety or something more serious. I'm a healthy 26-year-old guy, and my resting heart rate is between 52 and 56 bpm, but sometimes it drops into the 40s. I do have a history of gastroparesis. Do you think this chest pain could be an issue related to the medication or something else going on?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to the propranolol medication. Chest pain is a known side effect of propranolol, especially in individuals with a history of heart conditions. Given your symptoms and medical history, it is important to consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible to evaluate the chest pain and determine the appropriate course of action. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid sudden discontinuation of propranolol as it can lead to withdrawal symptoms. If the chest pain is severe or persistent, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm feeling some chest pain now and then when I breathe or move around. I just got over dengue, and I'm taking multivitamins right now. Can you help me understand what's going on?
gastritis acid reflux

I've noticed that my heart rate changes with my posture. When I stand, it's around 105-116 bpm, sitting brings it down to 90-100 bpm, and when I'm lying down, it's 75-85 bpm. My blood pressure doesn't really fluctuate much though. So, I went ahead and got an ECG, and it showed sinus tachycardia but otherwise normal. The strange thing is I can feel palpitations in my neck and chest when I stand, but I have no other symptoms. I run on the treadmill at 5-8 kmhr without any problems and my pulse stays between 100-120 bpm, but right after stopping, my pulse jumps to 163 bpm before gradually coming down, and my blood pressure was 140 over 75 at that moment. Should I be worried about this?
Based on your symptoms and the ECG report showing sinus tachycardia, it seems like your heart rate is elevated in response to changes in posture and physical activity. Sinus tachycardia is often a normal response to certain triggers such as exercise or stress. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and other stimulants, and practice relaxation techniques to help manage your heart rate.
