I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

View allI've been experiencing this sharp, pricking pain in my chest for about a week, and I'm really not sure what it could be. It doesn't stay in one spot and sometimes it's on the left, sometimes on the right, near the left breast, or even below the shoulder. I got both an ECG and an echo, and they both came back normal, but I'm still worried. Any idea what might be going on?

I'm 26 and just got a report saying I have mild tricuspid regurgitation. I'm really worried about whether this could become moderate or even severe. How long does it usually take for this to progress? Please help, I'm pretty scared.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can progress over time, but it is not possible to predict exactly how long it will take to progress from mild to moderate or severe. The progression of TR can be influenced by various factors such as underlying heart conditions, lifestyle choices, and overall health. It is important to monitor your condition regularly with follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can discuss with your doctor about potential treatment options or lifestyle changes that can help manage TR and prevent it from worsening.

Greetings, doctors. I'm really worried about my heart. I'm 36, weigh 45 kg, and stand 5'4". I've been through countless tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and USG, and they all show I'm normal. Despite this, I'm terrified that I'll die of a heart attack. I witnessed my cousin's grandmother die from a heart issue right in front of me a couple of years ago, and ever since, Ive been living in fear. Because of this fear, my heart's always palpitating, I have difficulty breathing, feel dizzy, and get chest pains sometimes. Even when I had palpitations, my ECG showed normal at 116 bpm. My blood pressure is also steady, usually at 12080 or 70. It's scary, and I've even quit my job over this stress. All my tests like thyroid, KFT, lipid, vitamins, and LFT are also normal. Should I consider coronary angiography or maybe something else? I'm just feeling lost and need guidance, please.
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to your heart health. Given your age, weight, and the normal test results you have mentioned, it is less likely that you have a serious heart condition. The symptoms you are describing, such as palpitations, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and chest pain, could be related to anxiety and panic attacks. To help alleviate your fears and symptoms, I recommend trying a medication called **Propranolol**. It is a beta-blocker that can help with palpitations, chest pain, and anxiety. You can start with a low dose of **10mg** once a day and gradually increase it as needed under medical supervision. In addition to medication, it would be beneficial for you to seek counseling or therapy to address the underlying anxiety and fear you are experiencing. **Sertraline** is an antidepressant that can also help with anxiety. You can start with a dose of **25mg** daily and adjust as needed. Remember to practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms. It is important to take care of your mental health as well as your physical health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, do not hesitate to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and support.
