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 feeling pretty anxious because my ECG report showed T wave inversion, but the TMT test came back normal. I've attached both reports. Since finding out about the T wave inversion, I've started experiencing some chest pressure and slight pain, which I didn't feel before. I'm really concerned whether this could be something serious or if it's just stress-related. Any insight on why this might be happening?
T wave inversion on ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if the TMT test is normal. However, since you are experiencing chest pressure and slight pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause. In this case, considering your symptoms, it would be advisable to start medication to relieve chest pressure and pain. you can take Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day to reduce any acid-related symptoms that may be causing chest discomfort. It is also important to manage stress through relaxation techniques and regular exercise. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a sudden paralysis attack because his blood pressure shot up unexpectedly. He's getting treatment, but now his right hand and face are affected. The ECO test shows RWMA; should I be concerned about that? Everything else looks okay, but I'm anxious. How serious is RWMA, and what should we be prepared for next?
It sounds like your father experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to high blood pressure. The presence of RWMA+ on an ECG test indicates regional wall motion abnormality, which can be a sign of reduced blood flow to a specific area of the heart. To prevent further episodes, it is important to manage his blood pressure effectively. He can be prescribed medications like Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to control his blood pressure and reduce the risk of future TIAs. Additionally, Aspirin (81mg) can be recommended to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of stroke. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor his condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm a bit concerned about the variation in my heart rates. My sleeping heart rate is around 55 bpm, while my resting heart rate falls between 80-100 bpm. When I wake up, it usually ranges from 100-120 bpm, and during brisk walking, it goes up to between 130-160 bpm. I'm 26 years old, have a healthy BMI at 22.5, my cholesterol levels are where they should be, and my blood pressure and echocardiogram results are normal. Is it normal for my heart rate to vary this much?
Having variations in heart rate throughout the day is normal, especially in response to different activities and stress levels. However, if you are concerned about the wide range of heart rates you are experiencing, you may consider taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce fluctuations. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
