I'm feeling a lot of pain in the upper muscles of my chest, even though I can breathe normally. It feels like there's pressure on my chest. I recently had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said it was normal. I've got acidity, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing this much pain. It sometimes feels like I might fall over, but my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. I'm really anxious about my health. I've already taken all the reports; CT scan for my brain was normal, and liver, kidney, and thyroid are also fine. I even checked cardio and took a TMT which came back negative. But both the right and left chest muscles are still hurting. What should I do?

View allI'm really confused about this whole ventricular tachycardia situation. At first, they thought I needed an ICD implant, but after more tests like echo, angiography, and X-ray at SGPGI Lucknow, they said my heart looks fine and don't recommend the implant anymore. I'm worried because they still haven't figured out what's causing my irregular heartbeat. What could be going on, and what should I do next?
The cause of ventricular tachycardia can be multifactorial, and sometimes it may not be easily identified. Some possible causes include coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, electrolyte imbalances, structural heart defects, or certain medications. In some cases, it may be idiopathic, meaning no specific cause can be found. To further investigate the cause of your irregular heartbeat, additional tests may be needed such as a Holter monitor to record your heart's electrical activity over a period of time, an electrophysiology study to evaluate the heart's electrical system, or genetic testing if there is a suspicion of an inherited condition. In terms of treatment, if the cause of the ventricular tachycardia is not identified, management may involve medications such as beta-blockers or antiarrhythmic drugs to help control the heart rhythm. Lifestyle modifications such as avoiding triggers like caffeine or alcohol, managing stress, and regular exercise may also be beneficial. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed based on your symptoms and test results.

My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?
A 2D Echo is advised as a diagnostic procedure for heart blocks and other pathology..
