I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

View allI've been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and I've got a bit of trivial regurgitation. The doctors said I don't need any treatment for it, which is reassuring, but Ive been using minoxidil 5% for my baldness and sometimes I notice my heart beats a little faster. My cardiologist mentioned it's okay to use it, and my dermatologist also recommended it knowing these symptoms. Is it genuinely safe to keep using minoxidil in my situation? I'm just a bit worried about how it might affect my heart condition.

I'm having this issue where whenever I increase my treadmill speed, I feel pain in the upper left side of my chest. I had a TMT and echo done just three months ago, and everything came back normal. I'm a bit concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?
This type of chest pain during exercise could be due to musculoskeletal causes or even acid reflux. However, since you have already had a normal TMT and echo, it is less likely to be related to the heart. I would recommend trying an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for possible acid reflux. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any musculoskeletal pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my recent ECG showing a slight ST depression in V5. I've been dealing with anxiety and some gastric issues. I've had previous tests like an ECG treadmill, and both my troponin I and T were normal. Should I be concerned about these new findings?
Slight ST depression in V5 on ECG can sometimes be seen in patients with anxiety and gastric issues. Since your previous ECG, treadmill test, and troponin I levels were normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart condition. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Pantoprazole 40mg once a day for gastric issues and medications like Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety.
