I've been feeling this heavy sensation and pressure on my chest, and it's making it hard to breathe. There's no actual pain, but it's definitely worrying me. What could be causing this shortness of breath? Should I be concerned?

I've been experiencing some chest pressure and tightness for just a couple of seconds. I managed to take an ECG from a single lead and I'm just wondering if it looks normal to you. I had a treadmill test, echo, and ECG all last week and everything seemed fine. Should I be considering any other tests?

based on your description, it is important to consider the context of your symptoms and previous tests. Since you have a history of chest pressure and have already undergone a TMT, Echo, and ECG which were normal, it is reassuring. However, a single-lead ECG may not provide a comprehensive assessment. It would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Tab. Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues.

I had a peg of whiskey around 7 PM after not drinking for a while, and now I'm due to take my metocard xl 25. I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to take it right now. Can you advise on this?

It is not recommended to take metocard xl 25 (Metoprolol) after consuming alcohol, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. It is best to wait at least 24 hours after consuming alcohol before taking metocard xl 25.

I've been having this weird feeling where my heart skips a beat, and it's making me uneasy. I recently saw a cardiologist, and he checked my echo test report and said everything looked fine. The sensation goes away when I sleep and feels okay in the morning, but it suddenly starts again when I'm lying down. Could you help me figure out what's going on or what I should do about it?

mostly no need to fear since echo is normal consult psychiatist if it stil persists
