I've been feeling really anxious about my heart lately because I keep having these palpitations and negative thoughts that something might be wrong. I'm 23 and my GP said my echo, ECG, and blood tests came back normal, so they think it's just anxiety and overthinking. But I'm still really worried. Is it possible there could still be an underlying heart issue, or should I trust the tests?

Yes, for a 23-year-old male, a normal echo, ECG, and blood test are usually sufficient to rule out major heart problems. Since your GP has already reassured you that your palpitations are likely due to anxiety and overthinking, you can trust their assessment. To help with your anxiety symptoms, you can take Xanax (Alprazolam) 0.25mg as needed. It is important to practice stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, and deep breathing techniques.

View allMy mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!

My dad had mitral valve replacement surgery a while back and now needs a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones. What risks should we be aware of given his heart condition? Also, why might someone like him develop gallstones in the first place? Are there any other treatment options besides surgery?
