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've noticed that every afternoon when I try to take a rest, my heartbeat feels really high, and the only time I seem to realize it is when I'm lying down in bed. It's becoming a bit concerning. Is it normal to experience something like this, or should I be worried about it? Could there be any specific reason for my heart to race at that time of day?
This could be a sign of a condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), where your heart suddenly beats very fast for a short period of time. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further management.

I'm 32 and weigh 45 kg, and I've been experiencing frequent breathlessness and sometimes chest pain. My doctor recommended some tests like an ECG, an echocardiogram, and a blood test. I'm really worried because I've heard that getting an echocardiogram might not be safe for the heart. I'm scared of going through with it. What should I do?
Echocardiogram is a safe and commonly used test to assess the structure and function of the heart. It uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart, allowing doctors to see how well the heart is pumping blood and detect any abnormalities. It is a valuable tool in diagnosing various heart conditions. In your case, since you are experiencing symptoms like breathlessness and chest pain, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for further testing. The information obtained from the echocardiogram, along with the other tests like ECG and blood test, will help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for you. There is no need to be afraid of the echocardiogram test as it is a non-invasive procedure and does not involve any radiation exposure. It is important to follow through with the recommended tests to ensure your heart health is properly evaluated.
