I've been experiencing a constant pain in my chest and the surrounding area. It happens about twice a week or sometimes just once a month. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it?

The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox for relief. You can take them as directed on the package insert. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allIs there any difference between sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia? I'm trying to understand if they are the same thing or if they affect the heart in different ways. It's a bit confusing to me, and I'm worried about what these terms mean for heart health. Could you explain it in simple terms?
Sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia are different conditions. Sinus arrhythmia is a normal variation in heart rate that occurs with breathing - the heart rate increases with inhalation and decreases with exhalation. It is usually harmless and does not require treatment. On the other hand, sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart rate is faster than normal, typically above 100 beats per minute. In some cases, sinus tachycardia may be a sign of an underlying medical condition and treatment may be necessary. If you are experiencing symptoms of either condition, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I recently went through a medical test for my insurance, and they noted something called tachycardia. I'm a bit worried and curiousdoes this mean that tachycardia is actually present in my report? How do I confirm if it's really something to be concerned about?
Tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal. To confirm if tachycardia is present in your report, you can look for the heart rate measurement. If your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats per minute, then it is likely that tachycardia is present. If you have been diagnosed with tachycardia, medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) or Atenolol (25-100mg) may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm feeling really overwhelmed and unsure what's going on with my health. Whenever I do even a little bit of work, I start feeling pain all over my body and feel really weak. My heart beats really fast, like once it was 165 bpm and then it came down to 115 bpm after 10 minutes. I've been told I have high blood pressure and cholesterol, but my ECG, TMT, and echo tests all came back normal. The ECG did show some changes in areas called Avf, but they've been like that for 9 years. On top of that, I've been dealing with severe anxiety and OCD for about 12 years now. I'm really worried if this might be a heart problem or if it's all just because of my anxiety. Every time I try to do any work, the weakness and palpitations hit me, along with a full body ache. I really need some advice on what's happening.
