I've been experiencing this weird, sharp or cramping pain on the right side of my chest whenever I walk for a while, but it stops immediately after I stop walking. I've already gotten a chest X-ray and a sonography, and both came back normal. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

View allI've been told by my doctor that I need a CT angiography, but because of my sinus tachycardia, he mentioned it might be hard to do. I'm already taking beta-blockers and sedatives, but my heart rate is still not under control at the doctor's office. I'm worried about how I can manage my heart rate so I can get the CT angio done. What should I do?
To manage your heart rate for CT angiography despite sinus tachycardia, you can consider using a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem. The recommended dosage for Diltiazem in this case would be 120-360 mg per day. This medication can help in controlling your heart rate and making it feasible to undergo the CT angiography procedure. Additionally, you may also benefit from the use of a medication like Atenolol, a beta blocker, at a dosage of 25-100 mg per day to further help in controlling your heart rate during the procedure. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance and dosage instructions carefully.

I'm 30 years old and started having chest pain and tingling back in December 2016. I went through all the tests like ECG, 2D echo, and a stress test, and everything came back negative. They told me it's anxiety, so I've been on Depranex and Betacap. Lately, I've been getting this burning sensation that starts from my stomach or chest. It also feels like I'm being pricked on the left side of my chest and back. I'm really not sure what's going on with me, and it's making me worried. Could you give me some advice on what might be happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety and possibly acid reflux. The burning sensation starting from the stomach or chest could be due to acid reflux, and the feeling of being pricked on the left side of the chest and back could be related to nerve pain or muscle tension. To address your symptoms, I recommend the following: - Continue taking Depranex for anxiety as prescribed. - For acid reflux and burning sensation, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name: Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. - For nerve pain or muscle tension, you can try taking Gabapentin (brand name: Neurontin) 300mg once daily at bedtime. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
