I've been experiencing some concerning health issues lately and could really use some guidance. I'm 32, from Hyderabad, and generally healthyI don't smoke and only drink beer like once in every three or four months. I used to be really active with running, climbing, and cycling, even training for triathlons. But around five months ago, I started having chest pain that spreads to my back and left arm, especially when I'm lying down. Despite having had an ECG, echo, TMT, troponin, and a CT angiography, all these tests came back negative. The only thing I've been diagnosed with is high heart rate, for which I'm on medication. This has helped bring down the chest pain but not completely. Now, for the past month, I've had intense headaches and dizziness that make me feel like I might just collapse. Last night was particularly bad with the headache and chest pain. I'm really worried and not sure how to proceed. Could you advise on what might be causing this and what I should do next?

It sounds like you are experiencing a combination of chest pain, back pain, left arm pain, headaches, and dizziness. Since your cardiac tests have come back negative and you are already being treated for high heart beats, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. The chest pain, back pain, and left arm pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve impingement. For your headache and dizziness, it may be helpful to explore the possibility of migraines or other neurological conditions. I recommend trying a medication like Acetaminophen for your headache and pain relief. For your ongoing chest pain, back pain, and left arm pain, you can try a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine. Additionally, for your high heart beats, you can continue with the medication prescribed by your doctor. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss these new symptoms and explore further evaluation or treatment options.

I'm feeling really confused and worried. Last year, my echocardiogram showed diastolic dysfunction, but when I did it again this year, it showed everything was fine with no sign of it. I'm trying to understand if diastolic dysfunction can reverse itself? I read online that it usually happens to older people, but I'm not that old and my blood pressure, sugar, and thyroid levels are all normal. Why did this happen to me, and should I be worried about it?

Your present echocardiogram is normal, previous report may reflect your clinical condition on that time. At present your reports are within normal limits.

My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

ecg and cardiac markers and a cardiologist opinion.

I'm trying to make sense of this ECG report. It's got me a bit worried. The vent rate is 64 BPM, PR interval is at 232 ms, Qrs duration reads 114 ms, and the QtQtc interval shows 407423. Should I be concerned about any of these numbers? Are there any changes I should be considering?

Based on the ECG report you provided, everything seems within normal limits. There are no serious concerns noted. The ventricular rate is 64 BPM, PR interval is 232 ms, QRS duration is 114 ms, and QTQTC interval is 407423 ms. No immediate changes in medication are required based on this ECG report.
