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 worried after seeing the results of my 2D ECHO. It mentions "diastolic dysfunction present EA," and I'm not quite sure what that means. Could you explain it to me?
Diastolic dysfunction means that the heart is not able to relax and fill properly during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This can lead to problems with the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. In this case, you may be prescribed medications like ACE inhibitors (e.g. Enalapril) or beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) to help improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.

My dad is 62 and he's been pretty active, walking around 4 to 5 kilometers every day and maintaining a positive attitude overall. He has high blood pressure, something that runs in our family. I've started keeping an eye on his heart rate, and I noticed it's usually around 57 beats per minute and sometimes even drops to 50. Should I be worried about this, and do you think he needs to see a doc for a check-up?
A resting heart rate of 50-57 beats per minute is generally considered to be within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who are physically active like your father. However, since your father has a history of high blood pressure and his heart rate occasionally drops to 50, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying heart conditions or medication side effects that may be contributing to the lower heart rate. It's important to have a comprehensive evaluation to ensure his heart health is optimal.
