I've been feeling strange sensations in my heart, especially when I get home after work, and at first I thought it was from drinking too much coffee. I've cut down on coffee but the feeling is still there. I do drink 2 coffees and 4 cups of tea every day. I also exercise regularly, like doing push-ups and lifting weights. Should I be worried about these symptoms? Could it be linked to my caffeine intake, or might there be something else going on?

I'm a bit concerned about my ECG report since it mentions "low voltage." Should I be worried about this? Can you explain what it means and if there's anything I need to do or watch out for?
ECG report showing low voltage can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to further evaluate the cause of low voltage. Your doctor may recommend a thorough physical examination, additional tests such as blood tests, echocardiogram, or stress test. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In some cases, medications like Furosemide or Spironolactone may be prescribed to help improve heart function. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for proper management

I'm really worried about something. I've been dealing with diabetes for about three years now and high blood pressure for over 15 years. For that, I've been taking losium and istamate regularly. But lately, I've been experiencing a dry cough and feeling gassy. When I went to the Baptist Hospital, they said I needed to be admitted to the CCU and they ran some tests like ECG and blood tests, which came back negative. They also did a TMT and an echo. During the TMT, I felt tired after the second stage when the speed increased, and they told me I might have a heart problem, suggesting an angiogram. I decided against it and got discharged instead. I'm confused and not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice on this?
It sounds like you are experiencing some side effects from your current medications. The dry cough and gas could be related to the medications you are taking for diabetes and high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing symptoms related to your heart, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation. I recommend discussing with your doctor about switching from losium to a different medication for high blood pressure to see if that helps with the cough and gas. Additionally, you may benefit from a medication adjustment for your diabetes as well. For your heart condition, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss the possibility of undergoing an angiogram to assess the blood flow to your heart. In the meantime, make sure to monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels regularly, follow a healthy diet, and engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider.
