I'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?

Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly

View allI've been really worried about some recent health issues and could use some advice. I had an angioplasty back in 2013 and also dealt with Covid in August '20. Recently, I had some pain in my left arm, so I went to the cardiologist. The ECG came back normal, but some of my test results are concerning. My homocysteine level is at 44, triglycerides are sitting at 275, but my creatinine and cholesterol are normal. My SGPT is at 46 and B12 is at 218. I'm really anxious because I know the high homocysteine could mean a higher chance of another heart issue. Should I be considering more tests, like angiography, or is there a treatment plan you would suggest? Just hoping to get some peace of mind here.
Based on your history of angioplasty in 2013, recent Covid infection, left arm pain, and abnormal test results (homocysteine at 44, triglycerides at 275, B12 at 218), it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health to determine the best course of treatment. Given your elevated homocysteine levels and previous history of angioplasty, it is advisable to undergo further cardiac evaluation. I recommend that you undergo a coronary angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries and determine if there is any significant blockage that may require intervention. In addition to the angiography, it would also be beneficial to optimize your lipid profile and homocysteine levels through lifestyle modifications and medications. Your cardiologist may prescribe medications such as Atorvastatin for cholesterol control, Folic Acid supplements for homocysteine reduction, and lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress, adjust medications as needed, and reduce the risk of a second cardiac event. It is important to prioritize your cardiac health and work closely with your healthcare team to manage your risk factors effectively.

I've noticed that my heart rate is always above 90, and I also deal with anxiety. When I start overthinking, my heart rate shoots up to 105. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and seek treatment?
A heart rate above 90 at rest and reaching 105 with anxiety and overthinking may indicate that your heart rate is elevated. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning, but my BP is still high and can't be controlled. I've been feeling dizzy for a few days, and yesterday I had a root canal done. Today, my blood pressure is 150110, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what to do next?
I can't know the exact reason for your high blood pressure without a proper examination, but considering your symptoms and recent dental procedure, it is possible that the pain and stress from the root canal treatment may have contributed to the elevated blood pressure. I would recommend you to continue taking Betacap TR 40 as prescribed, and also consider adding an additional medication like Telma 40 (Telmisartan) once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, try to manage your stress levels, get an adequate amount of rest, and follow a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
