I've been having chest pains and I'm super worried it might be related to my heart even though all my tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-ray came back normal. The fear started after the pandemic and now I'm constantly thinking about "what if" something's wrong. I've had heart palpitations about 10-15 times and even small muscle pains make me anxious about having a heart attack. What can I do about this constant fear? Do you think there's a chance I might really have heart issues? My last echo and TMT were 10 months ago and the most recent ECG was 20 days ago, all normal. Would love any advice or insight.

It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to your heart health, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite multiple tests showing normal results, you are still worried about having a heart attack. It is important to address your anxiety and stress levels in order to overcome these persistent fears. One approach to consider is seeking therapy or counseling to help manage your anxiety and fears related to your heart health. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga may also be beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety. In terms of medication, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) as needed for acute episodes of anxiety or panic attacks. The usual dosage is 0.5-2 mg taken orally 2-3 times a day as needed. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and getting an adequate amount of sleep. These lifestyle changes can contribute to overall well-being and may help alleviate some of your anxiety symptoms. Remember, it is essential to address your mental health concerns in addition to your physical health. If you continue to experience persistent anxiety and fear despite normal test results, consider consulting with a mental health professional for further evaluation and support.

View allI'm really worried because I was initially diagnosed with high blood pressure at 14690 due to stress and overworking, but it dropped to 14090 the next day. My doctor put me on Amfirst AT, and after taking it for a week, my blood pressure became really low at 11070. I don't usually have issues with blood pressure, and I think the medication made it too low. What should I do now?
It seems like the medication Amfirst AT, which contains Amlodipine and Losartan, has lowered your blood pressure too much. You should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance on managing your blood pressure.

I'm looking at my husband's ECG report, and it's got me a bit worried. It shows a heart rate of 77 bpm, with P at 97 ms, PR at 132 ms, QRS at 90 ms, and QTQTc at 357406 ms. Then it also says something about sinus rhythm, high voltage, and left ventricle. Does this all sound normal to you, or should we be rushing to the doctor? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
The report indicates high voltage in the left ventricle. Based on the information provided, the ECG findings suggest a normal sinus rhythm with high voltage in the left ventricle. There is no need for immediate doctor consultation based on this report. If your husband has any symptoms or concerns, it is advisable to follow up with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
