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?

View allI got an ECG done yesterday and it shows a slight ST depression in V3. Should I be concerned about this? I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable on the extreme left side of my chest, which is why I went for the ECG in the first place. There aren't any other pains or symptoms bothering me. By the way, I took the test about 40 minutes after finishing a workout at the gym - would that have any impact on the results?
Slight ST depression on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if you have no other symptoms. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and the timing of the ECG after a workout, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend you take a low dose of Aspirin 75mg for now to prevent any clot formation and consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried and need to know how to use sorbitrate. Should I take it right when I start feeling heart pain, or is there some other way I should be taking it? Please help me understand the right way to use this medication.
Sorbitrate (Isosorbide Dinitrate) works quickly to relieve chest pain caused by angina. It is usually taken at the first sign of chest pain. The usual dosage is 2.5 to 5 mg sublingually (under the tongue) and may be repeated every 5 minutes for a maximum of 3 doses. It is important to follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Remember to seek emergency medical attention if your chest pain persists or worsens after taking Sorbitrate.
