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 allMy brother has diabetes and had a heart check-up in January. His TMT echo and ECG came back negative, and his LVEF is 67. He's been experiencing mild shortness of breath for the past couple of months. Could this be related to any heart issues?
Shortness of breath can have various causes, including heart problems. Given his history of diabetes and recent heart check-up with normal results, the shortness of breath may not be directly related to his heart. It could be due to other factors such as respiratory issues, anemia, or even anxiety. However, considering his medical history, it's important to monitor his condition closely. I would recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any potential cardiac issues. In the meantime, he can take a low dose of diuretic like Lasix (furosemide) under medical supervision to help with the shortness of breath.

I'm having this recurring pain in my left hand that comes and goes. I got an ECG, and it came out normal. I had a full body check-up at the end of September, and everything seemed fine, except they said I had a vitamin D and B12 deficiency and low hemoglobin. I'm also feeling this tightness on my left side of the chest, kind of near the shoulder. I've been dealing with acidity since May till August. With all these symptoms, I'm wondering if this could be related to acidity, or should I be worried about a heart problem? I'm currently taking Ambulax and Serlift once a day. What do you think might be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain in your left hand, possibly related to the tightness in your chest near the shoulder. Since your ECG is normal and you have a history of acidity, it is less likely to be a heart problem. The pain could be related to the vitamin deficiencies and low hemoglobin levels. To help with the pain and tightness, you can try taking a pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like Volini gel on the affected area. For your acidity, continue taking Ambulax as prescribed. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been seeing several cardiologists and had a bunch of echoes and TMTs, but I'm still feeling really rough. I used to get panic attacks but haven't had one in about a year. These last 3 days, I've felt off and noticed my blood pressure is on the rise, getting up to like 140104 or 13495. I saw a cardiologist who is a DM, and he said the ECG was normal but the echo showed mild TR, RSVP 45mmHg, and mild PAH. He prescribed me Dilzem 90. This morning I woke up and my heart rate was 111, and honestly, I felt like I was gonna collapse. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. Given your history and current symptoms, it's understandable to be concerned. While your ECG and echo results show mild issues like mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension, the elevated heart rate and BP need close monitoring. It's essential to follow up with your cardiologist and maybe explore further tests or adjustments to your treatment. Anxiety can also play a big role, so managing stress alongside medication might help stabilize things. Stay in touch with your doctor for tailored advice and reassurance.
