I've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?

Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

View allI'm managing my diabetes pretty well, but I've been taking Stresnil for sleep issues. I started with 0.25mg, which worked okayI'd get about 5 hours of sleep. Because the 0.25mg wasn't available recently, I've switched to 0.5mg for the last 10 days. Now, I'm not sleeping properly and I've been feeling kind of faint in the mornings. Also, I just found out my blood pressure is 16090, but I've never had high BP before. I've attached my ECG report too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
"Due to non availability of Stresnil 0.25, you have switched to Stresnil 0.5 and experiencing sleep disturbances and light fainting sensations in the morning. Your blood pressure is elevated at 16090 mmHg. Based on your symptoms and history, I recommend the following: - Switch back to Stresnil 0.25 if possible, as it was providing better sleep quality. - In the meantime, you can try taking a lower dose of Stresnil 0.5, such as half a tablet, to see if it improves your sleep without causing fainting sensations. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider consulting a cardiologist to further evaluate the elevated BP. - Based on the attached ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities noted. - If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management."

I'm noticing that my heart rate sits between 85 to 105 when I'm just resting. I had an ECG done and my doctor mentioned I have sinus tachycardia, but thankfully no arrhythmia. I'm kind of worried, thoughdoes this mean I'm at risk for a heart attack or maybe a brain stroke? I'm only 19, so I'm not sure what to think.
In your case, since you are 19 years old and your ECG shows sinus tachycardia without arrhythmia, the chances of heart attack or stroke are very low at your age. To help manage your sinus tachycardia, you can try relaxation techniques, avoid stimulants like caffeine, and ensure you are well-hydrated. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider beta-blocker medications like Metoprolol at a low dose under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

I'm a bit worried after my full body health check-up. The ECG and stress ECG turned out normal, but the 2D Echo showed I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. And there were some issues in my chest X-ray too. I also have diabetes and I'm on medication for that. Plus, I've got a hernia operation coming up next week. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Should I go see a cardiologist and a pulmonologist?
first consult cardiologist.
