I've been having some issues with fast pulse and feeling short of breath. It's weird because I don't really feel any heart pain, but I do start sweating. It seems like drinking water helps a bit, but whenever I'm fasting, these symptoms seem to get worse. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be going on. Any advice?

View allI've been having this pain in my chest, specifically on the middle left side, and it's been happening just after I wake up. It only lasts for 1 or 2 minutes, but it comes with an elevated heartbeat, around 90 beats per minute. Should I be worried about this?

Greetings, doctors. I'm really worried about my heart. I'm 36, weigh 45 kg, and stand 5'4". I've been through countless tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and USG, and they all show I'm normal. Despite this, I'm terrified that I'll die of a heart attack. I witnessed my cousin's grandmother die from a heart issue right in front of me a couple of years ago, and ever since, Ive been living in fear. Because of this fear, my heart's always palpitating, I have difficulty breathing, feel dizzy, and get chest pains sometimes. Even when I had palpitations, my ECG showed normal at 116 bpm. My blood pressure is also steady, usually at 12080 or 70. It's scary, and I've even quit my job over this stress. All my tests like thyroid, KFT, lipid, vitamins, and LFT are also normal. Should I consider coronary angiography or maybe something else? I'm just feeling lost and need guidance, please.
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to your heart health. Given your age, weight, and the normal test results you have mentioned, it is less likely that you have a serious heart condition. The symptoms you are describing, such as palpitations, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and chest pain, could be related to anxiety and panic attacks. To help alleviate your fears and symptoms, I recommend trying a medication called **Propranolol**. It is a beta-blocker that can help with palpitations, chest pain, and anxiety. You can start with a low dose of **10mg** once a day and gradually increase it as needed under medical supervision. In addition to medication, it would be beneficial for you to seek counseling or therapy to address the underlying anxiety and fear you are experiencing. **Sertraline** is an antidepressant that can also help with anxiety. You can start with a dose of **25mg** daily and adjust as needed. Remember to practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms. It is important to take care of your mental health as well as your physical health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, do not hesitate to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and support.

I'm a bit concerned because my LDL levels are slightly high. I've attached my recent lab results for you to review. Could you please advise on what steps I should take? Is medication necessary in this case?
Hi Sir, if your LDL levels are slightly high, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any medication. Regular exercise and a healthy diet low in saturated fats can also help in managing LDL levels.
