I'm really worried about my husband. He's been waking up in the middle of the night sweating and struggling to breathe, and this has happened twice in just three days. We checked his blood pressure both times he woke up, and it was 148110 with a pulse of 75 the first time, and 140100 with a pulse of 85 the second time. He usually takes TeldayH every day for his high blood pressure, which generally keeps it under control. His blood sugar levels were also normal when we checked them yesterday, and his ECG was fine in January. He did have a gout attack around the same time, and his uric acid levels were 8.7 then, and he's also dealing with high cholesterol. Right now, he's on Febuxostat and Jupiros. I'm just trying to figure out why he's having these night sweats and breathing problems. Could it be related to his medication or something else?

View allI'm really worried about my relative who had MVR surgery a year ago. Yesterday, he experienced severe abdominal pain and his blood pressure shot up to 190100, but it's back to normal now. His troponin level came back at 0.0527. Could you help me understand what this means for his heart health? Should we be concerned?
That says its positive,immediately get an ECG done and visit Cardiologist for appropriate management

I've been having chest pains and I'm super worried it might be related to my heart even though all my tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-ray came back normal. The fear started after the pandemic and now I'm constantly thinking about "what if" something's wrong. I've had heart palpitations about 10-15 times and even small muscle pains make me anxious about having a heart attack. What can I do about this constant fear? Do you think there's a chance I might really have heart issues? My last echo and TMT were 10 months ago and the most recent ECG was 20 days ago, all normal. Would love any advice or insight.
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to your heart health, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite multiple tests showing normal results, you are still worried about having a heart attack. It is important to address your anxiety and stress levels in order to overcome these persistent fears. One approach to consider is seeking therapy or counseling to help manage your anxiety and fears related to your heart health. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga may also be beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety. In terms of medication, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) as needed for acute episodes of anxiety or panic attacks. The usual dosage is 0.5-2 mg taken orally 2-3 times a day as needed. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and getting an adequate amount of sleep. These lifestyle changes can contribute to overall well-being and may help alleviate some of your anxiety symptoms. Remember, it is essential to address your mental health concerns in addition to your physical health. If you continue to experience persistent anxiety and fear despite normal test results, consider consulting with a mental health professional for further evaluation and support.

I'm a 25-year-old male and have been having chest pain for the last three months, along with a pulling sensation in my left hand. I got ECG and TMT tests done two months ago, and they came back fine. But I still get this sudden sensation in my chest sometimes. My doctor mentioned it could be anxiety, and I'm really anxious about my health now. I've started yoga and meditation for the past couple of weeks, but the symptoms are still there. My palms and feet are sweating too, and the pain and pulling aren't constant. My blood pressure is normal, I don't have high cholesterol, and there's no family history of heart issues. What can I do to overcome this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thats clearly anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for a better treatment and counselling and also practice meditation and breathing excercises,take adequate rest and maintain healthy life style
