I've been feeling a pinching pain in my heart every now and then, just for a few seconds. It's got me worried. Is this something serious or is it considered normal?

View allI'm trying to make sense of my Echo Report, and it's causing me a bit of concern. It mentions things like a normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormalities, which I think sounds good. However, what got my attention was the mention of mild PAH and a mild TR. I'm a bit worried if the fast heart rate during the test, which was likely due to my anxiety, might have affected the results and led to a possible misdiagnosis of PAH. I mean, I haven't really had any symptoms other than a brief episode of PVC and sometimes a slightly fast heart rate. My resting rate stays between 50-65 BPM. I'm hoping for a little clarity on whether these findings are something to be concerned about. Can fast heart rate really make a difference in diagnosis, or am I misunderstanding things here?

I'm really worried because every time I feel stressed, I get chest pain and end up panicking. I rush to get an ECG and 2D echo done, but it's always normal, which is honestly exhausting. I'm scared it's something serious like a heart attack, but then the tests say otherwise. What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication called **Propranolol**. This is a beta-blocker that can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as chest pain and palpitations. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. Additionally, you may benefit from an anxiolytic medication such as **Lorazepam** to help with acute episodes of anxiety and panic. The typical dosage for Lorazepam is 0.5-2mg taken as needed for anxiety symptoms. It's important to also consider non-pharmacological approaches to managing stress, such as relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, regular physical activity, and seeking support from a therapist or counselor. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
