based on your symptoms and normal test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing variant angina, also known as Prinzmetal's angina. Variant angina is a type of chest pain caused by coronary artery spasm, which can lead to temporary narrowing or constriction of the coronary arteries. For variant angina, painkillers like nitroglycerin can help relieve the chest pain by relaxing and dilating the coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart muscle. Nitroglycerin is commonly prescribed for angina and is available in various forms such as sublingual tablets or spray. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed for chest pain. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

Question 3

I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and shoulder when I walk. My TMT was negative, and everything else like the Echo and ECG came back normal. I don't have a history of illness, nor do I smoke or drink. Is there something I should...

Accepted Answer

Left side chest pain and left shoulder pain on walking without any history of illness, smoking, or drinking could be due to musculoskeletal issues or even anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent any potential cardiac events. Additionally, you can take acetaminophen (500mg) for pain relief as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended.

Question 4

I'm a bit worried about my current heart rate and blood pressure. Usually, my resting heart rate is between 70-80, and my BP is around 12585, but since this evening, my heart rate has jumped to 112-118, and my BP is at 14090. Up until a few days ago,...

Accepted Answer

The increase in heart rate and blood pressure after smoking can be a concerning sign, especially if your readings were normal a few days back. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. To help lower your blood pressure, you can consider taking medications such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, to help regulate your heart rate, you can take Metoprolol 25mg twice daily. However, it is important to quit smoking as it can have detrimental effects on your cardiovascular health.

Question 5

I've been checking my blood pressure with a monitor, and every time the cuff gets tighter, I start feeling some chest pressure. It's not super strong, but I definitely notice it, and it happens every time I check. My blood pressure was 12588. I'm als...

Accepted Answer

The sensation of chest pressure when the blood pressure cuff is tightened could be due to increased pressure on the chest wall. However, since you also mentioned that you experience chest pains sometimes, it is important to monitor this closely. With a blood pressure reading of 12588, it is within the prehypertension range. To help manage your blood pressure and chest discomfort, you can take a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

How long are ECG, 2D ECHO, and Stress ECHO results valid? I've done these tests and everything came back normal, but I'm curious about how long these results are considered accurate. Should I repeat them often or are they good for a while?

Echo is valid for 6-12 months.
