I've been having this issue since an incident a few months back. I was eating crunchy peanut butter, and it got stuck in my food pipe, which led to some pain on the left side of my chest. It's been three months now, but I still feel pain in my chest sometimes. My heart rate also seems to elevate out of nowhere, even when I'm just lying down. Is there a link between the peanut butter incident and these heart symptoms? I've had an ECG and Echo, and both came back normal. I'm wondering if something could be wrong with my heart or if it's all just in my head. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

It's good that you have already done ECG and Echo tests, and the results were normal. The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to esophageal irritation from the incident with the peanut butter, rather than a heart issue. To help with the chest pain and elevated heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to further reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may also consider taking a medication like Propranolol to help with the elevated heart rate. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm having this ongoing pain in my chest, left arm, and shoulder blade, and it's been going on for over six months now. I've had my ECG done a couple of times and it came back normal, but I'm still worried because I have a history of depression and was on medication for about a year and a half. My doctors mentioned it might be related to that. I've also had a few panic attacks in the last six months, and randomly I get chills all over. Just recently, I was doing some physical work when I felt a sharp chest pain radiating to my left arm. The weather was really hot that day, like 42 degrees. The doctors said not to worry, but I'm still concerned about this chest pain that seems to come out of nowhere. I'm also feeling some dull pain in my spine and disc area, and there are signs of cervical issues. Sometimes I feel suffocated or have this heaviness in the back of my head and shoulders. My physical shape isn't great either, and after eating, my left arm feels heavy with chest pain. Could this all be linked somehow or should I get a second opinion?
Based on your symptoms and history, it is important to consider the possibility of musculoskeletal issues, anxiety-related chest pain, and gastrointestinal concerns. To address the chest pain and discomfort in your left arm and shoulder blade, you can try taking a muscle relaxant like **Cyclobenzaprine** 10mg to help with any muscle tension or spasms. For the dull pain in your spine and disc area, you can take **Ibuprofen** 400mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, for symptoms of cervical issues, you can use a topical pain relief gel like **Diclofenac** gel applied to the affected area. To manage anxiety and panic attacks, you can consider taking an anti-anxiety medication like **Lorazepam** 0.5mg as needed for acute episodes. It is also important to practice relaxation techniques and seek therapy to address the underlying causes of your anxiety. For gastrointestinal symptoms such as chest pain after eating, you can try an antacid like **Omeprazole** 20mg before meals to help with acid reflux and indigestion. It is also advisable to maintain a healthy diet and avoid trigger foods that worsen your symptoms. Please note that these recommendations are based on the information provided, and it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan.

I'm a bit concerned after my TMT test results. The cardiologist mentioned that everything looked normal, but I noticed that the ST level changed from 2.04 to 1.64 at peak exercise level 3. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it totally normal? I attached the test chart with my report. Would really appreciate your insights on this.
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm worried because about a month ago he got dizzy during the night and fell when he got up to use the washroom. Afterward, he felt sweaty but didn't have any chest pain. The next day, his blood pressure was really high at 180110 and his sugar levels were up too. The doctor mentioned RWMA but everything else looked good, and they're suggesting an angiography. Is that really necessary, or are there other options we could consider? He's never had issues like this before, and it all started a month ago when he began these medications: Zilarta 40, Metsmall 1000, Rosurica A 75, and Synx 500. What do you think?
The symptoms of dizziness, sweating, high blood pressure (180110), and elevated sugar levels, along with the doctor's recommendation for angiography, indicate a need for further evaluation of the cardiovascular system. Angiography is a common procedure used to visualize the blood vessels and identify any blockages or abnormalities in the heart. Given the patient's symptoms and test results, angiography may be necessary to assess the extent of any potential heart-related issues, such as coronary artery disease. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendation for further evaluation and treatment to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient's health.
