I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Whenever I get tired, I start having short breaths and feel this chest pain. I can walk for a bit if I go slowly, but after a few minutes, I start running out of breath and the chest pain comes back. Does this sound like something serious? What should I do about it?

I've been really anxious since hearing about a friend's sudden heart attack while they were sleeping. That same night, I felt my heart racing, and I couldn't sleep because I was so worried it might happen to me too. The day after, I went to the doctor, got an ECG and a blood test, and was told everything looked fine. But ever since, I haven't been able to get good sleep, and I'm really scared. My heart has been feeling weird, like a poking pain, and my shoulder hurts on and off too. I'm freaked outdo you think I should be worried about something serious?

It is understandable to feel anxious after hearing about someone's sudden death from a heart attack. However, based on your description and the tests done by your doctor, it seems that there is no immediate concern regarding your heart health. The ECG and blood tests did not show any problems, which is a good sign. The symptoms you are experiencing, such as rapid heartbeats, fear, difficulty sleeping, heart pain, and shoulder pain that comes and goes, could be related to anxiety and stress. It is common for anxiety to manifest physically, including chest discomfort and shoulder pain. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness practices. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medications such as **anxiolytics** to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep can also contribute to your overall well-being. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm 24 and just had an ECG. One doctor mentioned something about ST depression, but another said it's no big deal. Should I be worried about the ST depression? Is it something that can be treated?

ST depression on an ECG can be a sign of heart ischemia or other cardiac conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of the ST depression to determine the appropriate treatment. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may involve medications such as aspirin, beta blockers, or nitroglycerin. In some cases, procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
