I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. I started taking Eliwel 10mg for nerve pain about 20 days ago, but suddenly I got rapid heartbeats and chest pain on October 1st with pain intensity around 710. When I went to the doctor, my heartbeat was going from 60s to 110. The doctor gave me Nebicard 5mg and suggested getting an ECG and echo. The ECG was abnormal but the echo was normal, and the doc said not to worry. But the chest pain lingered for 34 days, and I also had some shortness of breath. I've stopped taking Eliwel on my own, which helped a bit, but I still have some chest pain, maybe around a 410. Yesterday I saw a cardiologist who did a TMT test; that was normal too, but the ECG was still abnormal. I've attached my reports. Is there anything here I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms and the abnormal ECG findings, it seems like you may have experienced some adverse effects from the Eliwel (Amitriptyline) medication. The rapid heart beat and chest pain could be related to this. Nebicard (Nebivolol) 5mg was prescribed to help with the rapid heart beat. Since you have already discontinued Eliwel and your symptoms have improved but not completely resolved, I would recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for nerve pain. For your ongoing chest pain, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. It is important to follow up with your Cardiologist for further evaluation and management of the abnormal ECG findings. If the chest pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

View allI'm looking at the results from a recent heart evaluation, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions "Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, normal pasp, No pericardial effusion, LVEF 60, No RWMA, Normal LV function," and my blood pressure reading was 210110. Could you help me understand what all this means for my heart health? I'm especially worried about the high blood pressure and terms like "Concentric LVH" and "LVEF 60." What should I be doing or asking my doctor about these findings?
The findings suggest concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial tricuspid regurgitation (TR). There is no pericardial effusion, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is normal at 60%. There are no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) indicating normal left ventricular function. The blood pressure is elevated at 210110 mmHg. You may consider starting antihypertensive medication to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. A combination of medications such as Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg can be prescribed to help manage your blood pressure effectively. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment as needed.

I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?

I've been having some strange symptoms lately when I masturbate or watch intimate scenes. My chest gets tight, it feels like there's a lump in my throat, and I have shortness of breath. I sometimes even feel light-headed with my heart racing. I've had heart and lung tests but everything came back normal. Do you have any idea what this might be?
