I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

View allI'm really concerned because my Echo report says IAS and IVS are intact, and I'm not entirely sure what that means in relation to my health. My blood pressure's been high at 150100, and I'm just trying to figure out if that's connected somehow. Could you help me understand what's going on?
echo shows IAS abd IVS intact means both IAS and IVS are not damaged...Antihypertensives are indicated for the control of hypertension..ACE inhibitors are advised

I'm wondering if it's normal to have tachycardia because both my ECG and echo tests came back normal, but I still experience it. My heart feels like it's beating really loudly, and when I check my pulse with an oximeter, it can shoot up to around 120, then it settles back to normal after a while. It's pretty scary when my heart rate spikes like that. Are there any more tests I should consider to figure out what's going on?
Tachycardia, or a fast heart rate, can be concerning even if your ECG and echo are normal. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as a loud heartbeat and fluctuations in your pulse rate, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. To address your tachycardia and associated symptoms, you may consider undergoing additional tests such as a Holter monitor to continuously record your heart's activity over 24-48 hours, a stress test to evaluate your heart's function during physical activity, and blood tests to check for any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, to help manage your tachycardia symptoms, you can consider taking medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of palpitations. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation, and I've had pericarditis a few times. The problem is I don't have health insurance, so I'm a bit worried about when I actually need to see a doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing numbness in my legs, feet, and arms, and I occasionally get dizzy when I stand up. There's also some discomfort in my chest, but it's not super intense. I'm really wondering if these are signs that I should be heading to a doctor despite not having insurance. What do you suggest I do?
These symptoms could indicate a worsening of your heart condition or potential nerve issues. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for chest discomfort. However, it is crucial to address the underlying issues. For your heart conditions, you can take medications like Metoprolol for mitral valve prolapse and Colchicine for pericarditis. To improve blood circulation and relieve numbness, you can try Aspirin and Vitamin B complex supplements. Please visit a healthcare facility for a thorough evaluation and proper management of your symptoms.
