I've been dealing with chest pain for the past one and a half months. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, Echo, and TMT done, and all the reports came back normal. I even went to a cardiologist, and he said it's not related to my heart. The pain started about a week after I found out I have high BP. I'm currently taking Prolomet AM, Pantocid IT, Drise 60k, and Rozavel. The pain feels like muscle pain on the upper side of my chest, on both sides. Sometimes, it feels like a pinch all over my chest. It also extends to my underarms and neck occasionally, and I feel tightness, especially on the upper right side of my chest. I sometimes have itching in my chest and sensations below my chin and jawline. What's strange is that I feel a bit better after some physical activity, like exercising or walking. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

View allI recently got an ECG done that showed IRBBB, and after that, I had an echocardiogram and TMT, which both turned out normal. Should I be doing these tests every year? And do you know why the IRBBB showed up in my ECG? Is there any treatment I should consider for this?
Intermittent Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) is a common finding in electrocardiograms and is usually considered a benign condition, especially if other cardiac tests such as echocardiogram (echo) and exercise stress test (TMT) are normal. It is not typically associated with any symptoms or specific treatment. In your case, since your echo and TMT results were normal, there may not be a need to repeat these tests every year unless your doctor specifically recommends it based on your overall health condition. IRBBB can sometimes be a normal variant or can be associated with underlying heart conditions, so it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. If you do not have any symptoms and your other cardiac tests are normal, no specific treatment may be necessary for IRBBB. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to promote overall heart health.

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.

I've been having this thing where my chest hurts for just a second or two, and then I feel okay again, but it keeps happening. It's like every 45 minutes or so, especially after I eat or drink. I'm not really sure what's going on, and it's starting to worry me. What do you think I should do about it?
Intermittent chest pain can be concerning. Given your symptoms, here are some possible explanations and advice: *Possible Causes* 1. *Acid Reflux*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain, especially after eating or drinking. 2. *Digestive Issues*: Swallowing air, eating too quickly, or having an underlying digestive condition like IBS can lead to chest pain. 3. *Musculoskeletal Issues*: Tight muscles or inflammation in the chest wall can cause brief, sharp pains. *What to Do* 1. *Stay Calm*: Your symptoms don't appear to be life-threatening, but it's essential to monitor them. 2. *Monitor Your Symptoms*: Keep a journal to track when the chest pain occurs, how long it lasts, and any potential triggers. 3. *Avoid Trigger Foods*: If you suspect acid reflux, try avoiding trigger foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, and spicy or fatty foods. 4. *Antacids or Acid Reducers*: Consider taking antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac to help alleviate acid reflux symptoms. 5. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help with digestion and reduce symptoms. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe Chest Pain*: If your chest pain becomes severe, lasts longer than a few seconds, or is accompanied by difficulty breathing, dizziness, or a cold sweat, seek immediate medical attention.
