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 a bit concerned because I wasn't able to go through with the TMT test since my pulse rate was high at 120. However, my echocardiogram came back normal. Should I be worried about this? Could my anxiety be causing my pulse to be so high?
A high pulse rate of 120 beats per minute can be due to various reasons, including anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Since your echo is normal, it is reassuring regarding your heart function. To address the high pulse rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also help in reducing anxiety-related high pulse rates.

I'm currently taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg for my palpitations, and I've been on it for about two months now. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm not sure if I can just stop taking it all of a sudden or if there's something specific I need to do. Can I just stop taking it, or is there a specific process I should follow?
No u cannot stop it suddenly it may worsen the symptoms..So better not to stop the medication

I'm really worried because even though I had an ECG, Echo, and a chest X-ray done about three months ago and they all showed normal results, including my SPO2 and pulse rate, I'm still experiencing pain in my left chest and left hand regularly for the past 6 to 7 months. The ECG did mention sinus tachycardia with sinus arrhythmia and a low T wave in V6. I also had Bell's palsy about a year ago but have completely recovered since then. Could all of this be connected somehow? What should I do next?
Given that your recent ECG, Echocardiogram, and chest X-ray were normal but you are still experiencing persistent left chest and hand pain, it is crucial to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. Sinus tachycardia and sinus arrhythmia noted on your ECG can sometimes be benign, but persistent pain warrants further evaluation. You should follow up with a cardiologist for a thorough review, and they may recommend additional tests like a stress test or Holter monitoring. Additionally, it might be beneficial to consider non-cardiac causes of your pain such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems like acid reflux. Managing stress and anxiety can also help alleviate symptoms. Please ensure you consult your healthcare provider to explore these options and manage your symptoms effectively.
