I'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI've been having these random chest pains for the last three months and just did a TMT test today. I couldn't go past 7 minutes, and my heart rate shot up to 190 really fast, so they stopped the test early. The doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but I'm still feeling a bit heavyheaded and stressed. I also have anxiety and my heart rate was already at 114 before the test even started. Does all this sound normal or okay?
It sounds like you experienced some discomfort during the TMT test due to your anxiety and elevated heart rate. Since the doctor mentioned that there is nothing to worry about, it is likely that the symptoms you experienced were related to your anxiety rather than any underlying heart issue. However, it is important to address your anxiety to prevent such symptoms in the future. To help manage your anxiety and heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for anxiety-related tachycardia is 25-100mg once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and reduce symptoms of anxiety. Additionally, you may benefit from an anti-anxiety medication such as Alprazolam. The usual dosage for anxiety is 0.25-0.5mg three times daily. This medication can help alleviate feelings of anxiety and reduce physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and explore treatment options for your anxiety. Regular exercise, stress management techniques, and therapy can also be beneficial in managing anxiety and improving overall heart health.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some palpitations, breathlessness, and dizziness, even without pushing myself too hard physically. I had an echocardiogram, and it turns out I have mitral valve prolapse with just mild mitral regurgitation. Is it usual to have these symptoms with only mild regurgitation? Also, it's been tough not being active, and I've dropped to an underweight level. To top it off, I've been experiencing erectile dysfunction. Could this be linked to the mitral valve prolapse?

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?
renal function tests, pulmonary function tests are advised...
