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?

I'm a bit worried because my ECG test came back with something called Diagnosed402 pre-excitement syndrome. Is this dangerous? I'm also dealing with hypothyroidism, high eosinophils, and an increased red blood cell count. Can you shed some light on what all this means for my health?

Your ECG findings of pre-excitation syndrome (WPW syndrome) can sometimes lead to dangerous arrhythmias, especially in the presence of other medical conditions like hypothyroidism, elevated eosinophils, and high RBC count. It is important to manage these conditions to reduce the risk of complications. For pre-excitation syndrome, medications like **Procainamide** can be used to control arrhythmias. However, in some cases, a procedure called catheter ablation may be recommended to correct the abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. For hypothyroidism, you may need to take **Levothyroxine** to replace the deficient thyroid hormone. Elevated eosinophils may indicate allergies or parasitic infections, and treatment with antihistamines or anti-parasitic medications may be necessary. High RBC count can be managed by addressing the underlying cause, such as dehydration or lung disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm experiencing some chest and arm pain, and I've been having heart palpitations lately. It's kind of weird because I can feel my heart pounding even when I'm just resting. I'm not super active, and my BMI is around 27.5. My HDL is only 34 but my blood pressure seems normal. I got an ECG done, and it showed a heart rate of 109 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but there weren't any ST T changes. The PR interval came out at 197 ms with a high QR of 86 and QTQTc between 298 and 402. Do you think I should get more tests done? What could all this mean?

Chest pain, arm pain, heart palpitations, and a high heart rate at rest with sinus tachycardia on ECG can be concerning symptoms. With a low HDL level and a BMI of 27.5, there may be underlying cardiovascular issues that need to be addressed. The PR interval of 197ms is slightly prolonged, which could indicate an atrioventricular conduction delay. Further evaluation is warranted to assess the overall cardiac function and rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include an echocardiogram, stress test, and possibly a Holter monitor to assess heart rhythm over a longer period. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and possibly medication like Atorvastatin to improve HDL levels may be beneficial in managing your cardiovascular health.
