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 wondering about something. I had an angioplasty last year and got a stent placed. Lately, I've been experiencing these weird palpitations every night as I try to sleep, but I don't actually feel them in my chest. It's strange because they're more noticeable in my jaw. My doctor prescribed Prolomet XL 25, which I've been taking for about four months now, even though I don't have high blood pressure. I'm really curious if this is something that's going to stick around forever or if there's a way to get rid of it. What's your take on this?
The palpitations you're experiencing, particularly at night and localized to your jaw, may be related to anxiety, stress, or a cardiac issue; given your history of angioplasty and stent placement, consult your cardiologist to rule out any underlying cardiac concerns, and consider adjusting your Prolomet XL 25 dosage or exploring alternative treatments, such as beta blockers or anti-anxiety medications, to alleviate symptoms.

Ive done all the heart tests like ECG and echocardiogram stress test, and everythings come back normal. But I still feel really anxious and notice my heart beating really fast. Should I be worried about this? Is there a chance it could be a sign of a heart attack or something serious?
It's good to hear that your heart tests have come back normal. Your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing a fast heart rate could be related to anxiety. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 20mg as needed to help with the fast heart rate and anxiety. However, if you continue to have concerns or if your symptoms worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's got diabetes and high BP, and her recent echocardiography test had some results that are making me anxious. Her exercise duration was 9.51 minutes, and her max heart rate hit 152 bpm, which is 88% of the target heart rate of 172 bpm. Her max BP was 16680 mmHg, and she reached a max workload of 11.14 METS. The stress test came back positive for RMI. The doctors are suggesting an angiography test. I'm really worried. Is everything okay, or should I be more concerned?
Based on the results of the stress test showing a positive for reversible myocardial ischemia (RMI) and the recommendation for an angiography test, it indicates that there may be reduced blood flow to the heart muscle during physical activity. This could be a sign of underlying coronary artery disease. To address this issue, your mother may need to undergo angiography to further evaluate the blood flow in her coronary arteries. Depending on the findings of the angiography, the doctors will be able to determine the best course of treatment, which may include medications such as aspirin, statins, and beta-blockers to manage her condition and reduce the risk of complications. It is important to follow the advice of the medical professionals and proceed with the recommended tests and treatments to ensure the best possible outcome for your mother's heart health.
