I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG report which showed sinus bradycardia and a slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6. Is this something to be worried about or is it considered normal?
In your ECG report, sinus bradycardia with slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6 can indicate a possible myocardial injury or ischemia. It is important to further evaluate this finding to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may need to take medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, medications like Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can help in controlling heart rate and blood pressure. It is advisable to follow up with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and management plan.

I'm really worried because my heart rate seems to shoot up when I'm stressed. Sometimes it even hits between 160 to 180 bpm. What can I do to get it back to normal? Any tips on how to reduce my heartbeat when this happens?
Increased heart rate due to tension can be concerning. To help reduce your heart rate, you can try deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. It can help lower your heart rate and reduce the effects of adrenaline on your heart. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm a 54-year-old woman and recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation that corrected itself. Now my echocardiogram shows I have a mild leaky aortic valve with some regurgitation. Should I be worried about this? How serious is it really?
Mild aortic valve regurgitation is generally not a cause for concern and may not require treatment. However, it is important to monitor it regularly to ensure it does not worsen over time. In some cases, medication such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs may be prescribed to help manage symptoms. It is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
