I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this pain in the middle of my chest, and when I got an ECG, it showed an abnormal Q wave in lead 3. It's the same result as a year ago when I had an ECG and then went through a TMT and an echo which both came back normal. Should I be getting another echo and TMT done now, or is it okay to hold off? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Based on your history of chest pain and abnormal q wave in lead 3 on ECG, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health. Since your previous TMT and echo were normal, it is reassuring. However, given the persistent abnormal q wave on ECG, it would be advisable to repeat the TMT and echo to ensure there have been no changes in your heart function. I recommend you to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss the need for repeating the tests.

View allI'm feeling really shaky and I've been having these spells of dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure since around 5pm, and it's been all over the place. It started at 12987 with a pulse of 75, then went to 13994 with a pulse of 89, 13795 with a pulse of 84, 13387 with a pulse of 70, and now it's at 13290 with a pulse of 76. I made sure I was sitting up straight and resting before and during each check. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Can you help?
Your symptoms of shakiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings, may indicate dehydration, anxiety, or an underlying condition such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and potential tests, such as blood work or an ECG, to determine the underlying cause.

I've been having this issue since an incident a few months back. I was eating crunchy peanut butter, and it got stuck in my food pipe, which led to some pain on the left side of my chest. It's been three months now, but I still feel pain in my chest sometimes. My heart rate also seems to elevate out of nowhere, even when I'm just lying down. Is there a link between the peanut butter incident and these heart symptoms? I've had an ECG and Echo, and both came back normal. I'm wondering if something could be wrong with my heart or if it's all just in my head. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
It's good that you have already done ECG and Echo tests, and the results were normal. The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to esophageal irritation from the incident with the peanut butter, rather than a heart issue. To help with the chest pain and elevated heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to further reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may also consider taking a medication like Propranolol to help with the elevated heart rate. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
