I'm really worried because last year I had strong issues with acidity, anxiety, and headaches. I even got an ECG in June 2018, and everything was normal back then. But since January 2019, I've been experiencing these sudden strong heartbeats that feel like a thump in my chest, even when Im just walking around. It's really upsetting and makes me anxious for days, thinking about why it's happening. Lately, I cant sleep at night and sometimes feel really empty and lacking enthusiasm. I saw a cardiologist who prescribed me Inderal, but Im just trying to understand what could be causing all this. Any idea what's going on with me?

Inderal can help control your physical symptoms, and addressing underlying anxiety through therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes should improve your overall well-being. If youre feeling stuck, consider discussing these issues further with your doctor or a mental health professional.

View allI've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?
If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.

I'm trying to understand what it means if a TMT result comes back positive. Does this indicate there's an issue with my heart? Should I be worried about any specific heart conditions?
If TMT is positive, it indicates that there may be a problem related to the heart. TMT stands for Treadmill Test, which is a common test used to assess how well your heart responds to stress. A positive TMT result can suggest the presence of coronary artery disease or other heart-related issues. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my medication. I've been on it for 2 years now, and while I'm currently not having any issues with blood pressure or heart rate, I'm wondering if I should stop taking it to steer clear of any potential side effects. What's your advice on this?
It is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of gradually tapering off the medication under their supervision. The specific medication and dosage will determine the appropriate tapering schedule to minimize any potential withdrawal symptoms or adverse effects.
