I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest, and I found out that my ESR is 25. My vitamin D3 level is really low at 3.75. I got a CT scan of my lungs, and everything came back normal. I'm curious if taking vitamin D3 supplements will help with this chest pain, or do you think I should see a cardiologist about it?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. During her regular health checkup, they said she has a mildly positive TMT for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a max METS level of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 to a max of 164. Her blood pressure changed from 12078 to a max of 15090. They also found she has dyslipidemia with a total cholesterol of 216, HDL at 71, and LDL at 132. They advised her to take atorva and Ecospirin and to repeat the TMT after 6 months. I'm curious, is this something really serious? And does the medication usually help? Whats the next line of action after this?

I did all of my heart tests yesterday like ECG, echo, and TMT, and everything was normal. But today, my heart rate went up to 120 bpm because of anxiety. I got scared while watching a movie and now I'm just really worried. Could this affect my heart? My heart rate is back to 80 now, though. Could you please let me know if I should be concerned?
based on your description, it seems like you experienced palpitations and an increase in heart rate due to anxiety. Since your recent heart-related tests (ECG, echo, TMT) were normal, there is likely no immediate cause for concern. To help manage your anxiety-induced palpitations, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations during stressful situations. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. In the meantime, practicing relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises may also help alleviate anxiety-related palpitations. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake as well.
