I'm having this weird tingling sensation and sometimes my heart starts racing. I got an ECG and my blood pressure was checked, and both came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next or who I should reach out to. Can you guide me on this?

View allMy dad, who's 69, had some pretty serious chest pain last week. An ECG showed something wasn't right and his angiography results mentioned artery blockages at 90%, 80%, and 70%. He's now on medication, but I'm really concerned. What does this all mean for his health, and are there other treatments we should consider to address these blockages?
It sounds like your father is experiencing significant heart issues with the reported artery blockages. To help manage the condition and prevent further complications, it is crucial for him to continue with the prescribed medications. One common medication that is often used in such cases is Atorvastatin, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related events. Additionally, medications like Aspirin can be beneficial in preventing blood clots and improving blood flow through the blocked arteries. It is important for your father to follow the dosage instructions provided by his healthcare provider and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor his progress. In some cases, additional interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be recommended. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications are also essential in managing his condition.

Why does my chest feel tight?
Some medical causes for chest tightness can stem from a muscle strain, asthma, ulcers, a rib fracture, pulmonary hypertension, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Aside from a medical reason, chest tightness can be caused by an active stress response, also known as the âflight or fightâ response.

I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat and palpitations with no specific timing. Sometimes it feels like my heart is sinking. I've had an ECG and TMT, and both came back normal. I also have hypothyroidism, and my doctor thinks it might be due to anxiety. I'm wondering if I should get any other tests to rule out heart disease. What do you think?
Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and TMT results, it is likely that your palpitations and fast heart rate are indeed related to anxiety, especially given your history of hypothyroidism. However, if you still have concerns about ruling out any underlying heart disease, you may consider getting a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for a period of time. This can help detect any irregular heartbeats that may not show up on a standard ECG. Additionally, an echocardiogram may be considered to assess the structure and function of your heart. In the meantime, managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and stress-reducing activities can also help alleviate your symptoms.
