I've been having this pain in the heart area of my chest for over three months now, and it happens about twice a week. I haven't been doing any kind of exercise recently. I'm starting to get really worried about it. Could this be something I should be concerned about? What might be causing this, and what should I do?

View allI'm wondering if it's normal for my heart rate to go up after I drink alcohol. Is there a medical reason for this, or should I be concerned about it? Can you explain what's going on?
Yes, alcohol consumption can lead to an increase in heart rate. This is because alcohol is a vasodilator, which means it causes the blood vessels to relax and widen. As a result, the heart has to work harder to pump blood throughout the body, leading to an increase in heart rate. Additionally, alcohol can also stimulate the release of certain hormones, such as adrenaline, which can further elevate heart rate. It is important to note that excessive alcohol consumption can have negative effects on the heart and cardiovascular system. If you experience persistently high heart rate after alcohol consumption, it is advisable to limit your intake and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because my recent test showed high levels of homocysteine, about 10 points above the upper range. I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that might help with this. Can you offer any advice or suggestions?
High homocysteine means that your blood is thicker and because of smoke or smoking or because of dusty environment so stop smoking or else your blood will be thicker and you will have high chances of blockage in your blood vessels

I've been having this chest pain right in the center for the past 3 years, mostly when I'm exerting myself like lifting heavy stuff, climbing stairs, or riding in a fast-moving vehicle. I've had a coronary angiogram, and it came back normal. My echo is also normal. I've noticed my stomach bloats when this happens. Could this be related to a heart issue or is it more of an anxiety thing? The pain usually goes away when I rest. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can sometimes present with chest pain and bloating. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief of your symptoms. Additionally, you can try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, and not lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, you may need to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
