I've been experiencing some chest pain when I'm jogging or running. My diagnosis results, including the echo and ECG, came back normal. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this kind of pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Chest pain during physical activity like jogging and running, with normal results on echo and ECG, could be due to musculoskeletal causes such as muscle strain or costochondritis. It could also be related to conditions like acid reflux or anxiety. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for muscle pain, or antacids for acid reflux. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety may also help. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed.

I've been on high BP meds for about seven years. Initially, my BP was around 140100, and my doctor put me on olmetrack 20, but it didn't do much. After 2-3 years, they added nebicard 2.5 to the olmetrack, which helped, but my BP was still around 14095 or 13590 without any diet changes or exercise. Now, for the past month, I've started dieting and taking walks, and my BP has dropped to about 12075 to 11067. I'm wondering if this improvement is because of my lifestyle change. Do I still need both meds, or should I try stopping one to see how it affects my BP?
continue both the medications..

I've been having a tough time over the past couple of years with losing my job and family issues. Lately, I've been feeling this crushing sensation in my chest at times. A few years back, I was told I have mild mitral valve prolapse, but I never started any medication for it. I feel mild pain sometimes, but it never lasts more than two weeks. I'm trying to figure out if this chest pain is because of stress or my MVP. Ive also been feeling really down and anxious, especially at night, often ending up in tears. Some people close to me think I might have some psychological issues. What should I do?
It sounds like you are going through a lot of stress and emotional turmoil. The chest pain you are experiencing could be related to both stress and your history of mild mitral valve prolapse. It is important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. For the chest pain related to mitral valve prolapse, you should consult with a doctor to determine if any medication or treatment is necessary. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. To address the stress and emotional issues you are facing, it would be beneficial to seek therapy or counseling to help you cope with your feelings of depression and anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can also be helpful in managing stress. In terms of medication, you can consider taking an antidepressant such as sertraline at a low dose to help with your depressive symptoms. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you. Remember to prioritize self-care, reach out to supportive friends and family members, and consider joining a support group to connect with others who may be going through similar experiences. Take care of yourself and know that it is okay to seek help when needed.
