I'm really worried because I've heard that heart attack symptoms in women can be different from what men experience. Can you explain what signs I should be looking out for? And how can I tell if chest pain is from a heart attack or just something else? Its been on my mind lately, and I'd love some clarity.

I'm experiencing these odd palpitations when I'm trying to sleep, but as soon as I wake up and move around a bit, they stop. I've had GERD since last September, and my recent endoscopy showed a grade 2. I've been keeping up with my health; did a TMT and checked my lipid profiles, and everything was normal. No blood pressure issues either, and I quit smoking 4 or 5 years ago, though I still have a drink now and then. My echo showed a grade 2, which makes me wonder if there's something going on with my heart or if it's all related to my esophagus issues. Also, I just started meds for fatty liverUdiliv 300, Darolac, Rifaximin 400mg, and Moza Plusand my SGPT was at 109. With a weight of 100 kg and being 5'10", I'm a bit worried. Is the grade 2 thing a sign of heart trouble, or could it be from the GERD? And is it possible for the grade 2 to be reversible?

1. AM I having any heart issues? Since grade 2 came in echo and sleeping palpitations are there. OR are these due to loose lower esophagus valve? Based on your symptoms and medical history, the palpitations you are experiencing while sleeping could be related to your grade 2 echo findings. It is important to further investigate the cause of these palpitations to rule out any underlying heart issues. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help with the palpitations. 2. Is grade 2 reversible? Grade 2 findings in an echocardiogram indicate mild abnormalities in the heart structure or function. In many cases, grade 2 abnormalities can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes and medications. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor the condition and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. With proper management, some grade 2 abnormalities can show improvement over time.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure, like around 15080, for a bit now, and my doctors assistant put me on Stamlo 10mg twice a day. Over time, they gradually reduced it to 10mg once a day, then to 5mg, then 2.5mg, and finally half of 2.5mg because my BP stabilized. Now my doctor said I could stop taking the meds and just monitor my BP for a week. If it stays normal, I can stop the meds and just focus on a healthy lifestyle. But, if it goes up again, I might have to be on meds for life. Im worried about stopping the meds completelyis it safe to just stop like this? Could it have any serious effects on my health? What do you think?

nothing will happen you follow regular check ups

I'm really worried because my echo showed mild TR, and I've been stressed ever since. Googling it made things worse, and now it's all I can think about. Lately, I have this constant chest pain and am terrified of a heart attack. It's making my life unbearable. What should I do?

It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and stress related to your health concerns. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend starting with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and a healthy diet. Additionally, you can take medication such as anxiolytics like Xanax (alprazolam) 0.25mg to help with your anxiety symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
