I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I've been having a tough time over the past couple of years with losing my job and family issues. Lately, I've been feeling this crushing sensation in my chest at times. A few years back, I was told I have mild mitral valve prolapse, but I never started any medication for it. I feel mild pain sometimes, but it never lasts more than two weeks. I'm trying to figure out if this chest pain is because of stress or my MVP. Ive also been feeling really down and anxious, especially at night, often ending up in tears. Some people close to me think I might have some psychological issues. What should I do?

It sounds like you are going through a lot of stress and emotional turmoil. The chest pain you are experiencing could be related to both stress and your history of mild mitral valve prolapse. It is important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. For the chest pain related to mitral valve prolapse, you should consult with a doctor to determine if any medication or treatment is necessary. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. To address the stress and emotional issues you are facing, it would be beneficial to seek therapy or counseling to help you cope with your feelings of depression and anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can also be helpful in managing stress. In terms of medication, you can consider taking an antidepressant such as sertraline at a low dose to help with your depressive symptoms. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you. Remember to prioritize self-care, reach out to supportive friends and family members, and consider joining a support group to connect with others who may be going through similar experiences. Take care of yourself and know that it is okay to seek help when needed.

What is a heart cough?

Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.
