I'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and I've been told there's an increased RS ratio in V1, which might suggest an early transition or a posterior infarct. I'm taking labetalol 100 and Ecosprin 75. I'm really worried about what this means for me and the baby. Could you help me understand this better?

Is it normal to feel like my heart is pounding really hard when I'm exercising? It feels like my heart's just doing a crazy workout on its own, almost like I can hold it in my hand. When I checked, my heart rate was between 130-140 during a heavy workout. I'm 20 and I do have high cholesterol. I had an ECG and echo done back in May, and everything seemed okay. But when I'm resting, my heart rate drops to about 50 bpm and it doesn't feel heavy at all. It's only happening when I'm working out. Should I be worried and stop doing these intense exercises?
It is not uncommon to feel a heavy heartbeat during intense exercise, especially when your heart rate is elevated. Given your age and previous normal cardiac evaluations, it is less likely to be concerning. However, if you continue to experience discomfort or if the symptoms worsen, it may be advisable to modify your exercise routine. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose before exercise to help control your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a heavy heartbeat. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, focusing on aerobic exercises within your target heart rate zone and gradually increasing intensity may also help in reducing the sensation of a heavy heartbeat during exercise.
