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.

View allI'm feeling really anxious lately and having these weird palpitations. Sometimes my hands and legs go numb too. I had a Holter test and an ECG but they didn't show anything. My doctor prescribed beta blockers, but I'm really worried about what's actually happening with me. Is my heart not healthy? Do I really need to take these meds forever? Are there any other tests I should consider? I'm just looking for some guidance here.
Experiencing palpitation, anxiety, and numbness in hand and leg sometimes can be due to various reasons. Since your doctor has prescribed beta blockers, it indicates that they suspect your symptoms may be related to heart issues such as arrhythmias or high blood pressure. Beta blockers help in controlling heart rate and reducing anxiety. If the Holter test and ECG did not show any abnormalities, it is a good sign that there may not be any serious underlying heart conditions. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other factors such as anxiety disorders, thyroid issues, or even vitamin deficiencies. If you are concerned about taking medications long-term, you can discuss with your doctor about alternative treatment options or lifestyle changes that may help manage your symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication use, as they are prescribed based on your specific condition. In addition to the tests you have already done, your doctor may recommend further tests such as a thyroid function test, vitamin B12 levels, or a stress test to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. It is essential to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and response to treatment. Remember, every individual is different, and treatment plans may vary based on your specific health condition.

I've been feeling a pressure on my chest for the past 56 days. I don't have a fever or a cough, but my mouth gets really dry and my saliva seems thicker than usual. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I've been really stressed about my heart health lately. I had a 2D echo done back in November, and I'm feeling super anxious about it again. I keep noticing my pulse everywhere I put my hand on my body, and it's freaking me out a bit. How long should I wait before getting another 2D echo to make sure everything's okay?
based on your symptoms and history of severe heart anxiety, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation. However, typically, if there are no significant changes in your symptoms, a follow-up 2D echo can be done after 1 year from your last test. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help with your heart anxiety symptoms.
