I've been having this pinching pain in the middle of my chest, a bit towards the left, for about a year now. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's noticeable, especially if I stretch my chest or if I'm pressing something between my hands that puts pressure on my chest. I've had a bunch of ECGs done, but no other heart tests, and I've seen 23 doctors already. None of them think it's heart-related or gave me any meds. What should I do next? Who should I go to for help in Pune?

I'm experiencing something odd and could use some advice. Lately, when I wake up and start walking, it feels like my heart is racing, and I get a bit breathlessbut only the first time. If I lie back down for a bit and then walk again, I feel completely normal. Is this something I should worry about in terms of my heart? I've had an ECG and a 2D Echo, and they both came back normal. I also saw a pulmonologist, and all tests were fine. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and 2D Echo results, as well as the evaluation by a pulmonologist, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart issue or a pulmonary problem. It is possible that your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying down position. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and standing up slowly to allow your body to adjust to the change in position. In some cases, medications like Fludrocortisone or Midodrine may be prescribed to help manage orthostatic hypotension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I've noticed over the last couple of days that my blood pressure has been lower than usual. My systolic pressure is hovering between 90 and 100, and the diastolic numbers are around 50 to 60. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this drop. What might be going on and what should I do about it?
Low blood pressure, with systolic pressure between 90 to 100 mmHg and diastolic pressure between 50 to 60 mmHg, can be caused by various factors, including dehydration, certain medications, heart conditions, endocrine issues, or nutritional deficiencies. To address this, ensure you are well-hydrated and consider consuming a balanced diet with adequate salt intake. Avoid sudden changes in posture, such as quickly standing up from a seated or lying position. It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your low blood pressure and receive appropriate advice or adjustments to any current medications.
