I'm really curious about something - I've had tons of ECGs, echos, and TMTs over the past year, and while I suspect I might have POTS because my heart rate jumps to 120 bpm when I walk, that's not what I'm most concerned about right now. Today, I'm experiencing these really strong, sharp chest pains. They come and go, happening in one small spot that hurts for 23 seconds and then disappears, or sometimes it's a dull ache lasting 24 seconds and then it's gone. Occasionally, the pain stays for 30 seconds to a minute, which I've found is called Texidor's twinges. The sharp pains are intense, happening in one spot or feeling like multiple wires in my chest wall are hurting for a second, but then they just vanish. Even with the dull pains, they stop after a few seconds, and I've also been coughing for the last few days. Do you think this could be heart-related? Sometimes, stretching makes the pain worse before it eases up. What could be causing this?

It is important to consider the possibility of musculoskeletal chest pain, especially given the description of sharp, localized pains that last for a few seconds and can be triggered or worsened by stretching. The fact that you have been coughing for the last few days also suggests a potential respiratory component to your symptoms. To address the sharp chest pains, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, using a heating pad on the affected area may help alleviate the discomfort. It is also advisable to practice deep breathing exercises to help relax the chest muscles. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be prudent to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any cardiac issues.

View allWhat does it mean when my TMT report says no significant STT changes were noted? Is this something I should be worried about? Ive attached the report for reference.
In your TMT report, the mention of "No significant ST-T changes noted" means that there were no abnormal changes observed in the ST segment or T wave of your electrocardiogram during the test. This is a good sign as it indicates that there are no signs of ischemia or heart muscle damage during physical activity. There is no need to worry about this finding.

I'm 33 and my blood pressure can fluctuate - sometimes it's around 13590, other times closer to 13085. I've noticed that my heart rate isn't always consistent; sometimes I can really feel it, and other times not so much. It seems to get worse at night. Should I be worried about this? Is it something risky?
Your blood pressure readings are slightly elevated, but not in the high risk range. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress.

I've been taking Asomex 2.5mg for the past couple of days because my blood pressure's been high at 16090. Just recently, I've started sweating on my forehead, which is a bit unusual for me. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it be a side effect of the meds?
Your blood pressure is 16090 and you are experiencing sweating on the forehead. You are currently taking Asomex 2.5mg. The sweating on the forehead could be a side effect of the medication. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. In case the sweating continues or worsens, you should consult your doctor. As for your high blood pressure, you may need a higher dose of medication or an additional medication. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.
