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.

Why do heart attacks happen at night?
Researchers found that at around 6:30 a.m. the circadian system sends out an increased amount of PAI-1 cells which blocks blood clots from breaking down. The more PAI-1 cells in the blood, the higher the risk for a blood clot that leads to a heart attack

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing palpitations and when I took an ECG, it showed sinus tachycardia. My 2D echo test came back normal, so my doctor prescribed Betacap TR 20mg. After a week of taking it, the follow-up ECG was normal. Can you explain what sinus tachycardia is? Should I be concerned about any heart-related issues? I've also been dealing with anxiety for the past six months. I've attached my ECGs. Can you take a look and let me know what's going on? I'm really worried about my health.
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats at a faster rate than normal, typically over 100 beats per minute. It is usually a normal response to stress, exercise, or certain medications. In your case, since your 2d echo test was normal and your follow-up ECG was also normal after taking Betacap TR 20mg, there is likely nothing to worry about. Betacap TR 20mg is a brand name for Propranolol, which is a beta-blocker medication that helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce palpitations. For your anxiety, you can continue taking Betacap TR 20mg as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may benefit from therapy or relaxation techniques to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Overall, it seems like your heart is healthy and the medication is helping with your symptoms. Keep following up with your doctor for further guidance and monitoring.
