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.

View allI'm a 33-year-old guy who hits the gym pretty regularly. I had my blood pressure checked around 2 p.m. and it was 140 over 80. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?
A blood pressure reading of 14080 is slightly elevated. For individuals under 60 years old, the ideal blood pressure is typically considered to be below 12080. Since you are physically active and regularly go to the gym, lifestyle modifications can be the first step in managing your blood pressure. However, if your blood pressure remains consistently elevated, medication may be necessary. I recommend you try to incorporate more cardiovascular exercise and a low-sodium diet into your routine. If needed, you can consider taking medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm dealing with some pretty bad acid reflux after eating heavy masala foods. I've got this weird dhada sensation in my chest, so I got an ECG done. The results said something about a left axis and poor R progression. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? Would love some advice on what to do next!
It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux symptoms and chest discomfort. The ECG findings of Left axis poor R progression may indicate certain heart conditions, but it is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and overall health status. To address your acid reflux symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, you can take Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for immediate relief. It is also recommended to avoid spicy and heavy meals, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
