Question 1

I'm really struggling with severe chest pain but all my heart tests like ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT showed nothing wrong. I'm also dealing with frequent panic attacks and heart palpitations, which is really concerning. I've been taking anti-inflammatory meds for about 10 days, but there's been no improvement. Could you please advise me on what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

start doing exercises, reduce your anxiety. consult a psychiatrist if still symptoms persists

Question 2

I'm having some concerns and would love your advice. My blood pressure is at 160100 and I'm also experiencing a fever. I used to have anxiety and was on etizolam beta .25, but I stopped taking it about a year ago. A year ago, all my tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and blood work were normal. Should I consider getting these tests done again, or do you think I should go back on the meds?

Accepted Answer

Given your high blood pressure (160100) and fever, along with a history of anxiety and discontinued medication (etizolam beta 0.25), it's essential to consult your doctor immediately; they may recommend repeating some tests, such as ECG, blood work, and possibly adding new ones like a chest X-ray or inflammatory marker tests to rule out underlying conditions;

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing chest pain again. A few months ago, I had a TMT and it was negative, and my echo was normal. I don't have a history of any major diseases and I dont smoke or drink alcohol. But today, the pain came back, and I've been having some breathlessness because of my asthma. Could the asthma be causing this chest pain or should I be concerned about something else?

Accepted Answer

Given that your TMT and echo were normal three months ago, and you have a history of asthma, your chest pain and breathlessness might be related to asthma exacerbation rather than a cardiac issue. Asthma can cause chest tightness and breathlessness, especially during physical activity. It is important to manage your asthma effectively with your prescribed medications and follow your asthma action plan. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes and ensure your asthma is well-controlled.
