I've been having chest pain for a couple of days now, and it's pretty constant, especially when I'm just sitting or lying down. Plus, sometimes I get this pain in my shoulder and neck, and even occasionally a stomach ache. I'm 20, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm not overweight. Could this be something serious like a heart attack or angina? I'm kinda worried and not sure what to do.

Based on your symptoms and age, it is less likely to be a heart attack or angina. However, chest pain should never be ignored. It is important to rule out any serious conditions. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or acid reflux. I recommend taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums for stomach ache and trying ibuprofen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been feeling really off lately, like yesterday before lunch I was sweating a lot and my whole body felt weak, especially my legs. I tried eating some chocolate and rice but I was still sweating. So I went to the hospital and they said my BP was fine, and my GRBS was 153, about 45 minutes after eating. The ECG said sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and short PR interval, but the doctors said everything's normal when they compared it to an old ECG I had. I'm worried because I take Esomac for gastric issues and Cardace for BP, but I've been having mild chest pains almost every day. Ive done tmt echo tests many times and they always come back normal, but Im so anxious about my heart all the time. Now, I get really tired just walking for like 20 minutes. What could be going on?
The ECG from yesterday shows sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and a short PR interval. Given your symptoms of sweating, weakness, and fatigue, along with your history of mild chest pain and anxiety about your heart, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. Since your previous ECGs have been normal, it is reassuring that there are no significant changes at this time. Considering your current medications, Esomac 40mg for gastric issues and Cardace H5 for blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking them as prescribed. To address your concerns about tiredness and anxiety, I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about the possibility of adjusting your medications or exploring other treatment options. In addition, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise within your limits, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new concerns, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

I've noticed that my heart rate changes with my posture. When I stand, it's around 105-116 bpm, sitting brings it down to 90-100 bpm, and when I'm lying down, it's 75-85 bpm. My blood pressure doesn't really fluctuate much though. So, I went ahead and got an ECG, and it showed sinus tachycardia but otherwise normal. The strange thing is I can feel palpitations in my neck and chest when I stand, but I have no other symptoms. I run on the treadmill at 5-8 kmhr without any problems and my pulse stays between 100-120 bpm, but right after stopping, my pulse jumps to 163 bpm before gradually coming down, and my blood pressure was 140 over 75 at that moment. Should I be worried about this?
Based on your symptoms and the ECG report showing sinus tachycardia, it seems like your heart rate is elevated in response to changes in posture and physical activity. Sinus tachycardia is often a normal response to certain triggers such as exercise or stress. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and other stimulants, and practice relaxation techniques to help manage your heart rate.

I've had a chest X-ray done and they tested the size of my heart wall. They said everything's okay with my heart, but I'm still wondering, is it normal to have the same weight of 65 kg for the past 2 years? Should I be concerned about anything despite the tests being clear?
donot worry if you have symptoms do 2D echo
