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 allI'm having some mild shortness of breath along with chest tightness and a bit of back pain that spreads to my neck. I've done tests like ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, diabetes checks, and PFT, and all came back normal, but my cholesterol was high. I'm taking Rosuvas for that and also Amlodipine for high blood pressure. My weight is 110 kg, and my BP is 14090. Should I be getting any more tests or changing my meds? I'm also in the process of trying to lose weight. What do you think?
