I've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.

View allI've had a normal ECG and ECCO test, and even the treadmill stress test was normal. My blood sugar level and lipid profile are fine, but my cholesterol's high. I'm still having pain in my lower chest and a bit in my left hand. I'm really concerned. What's going on with me?
The pain in your lower chest and left hand could be due to musculoskeletal issues or possibly related to acid reflux. To alleviate the pain in your lower chest, you can take over-the-counter medications like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. For the pain in your left hand, you can try applying a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Can an ECHO test actually detect Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension even if everything else in my health seems normal? I'm really curious to know if there's any way to treat or reverse it if it's just identified as mild.

I'm really concerned about my health right now. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia, but my other tests like the 2D echo and blood work came back normal. I have some heart blocks, but I've been trying to manage them with diet control. The issue is, I feel breathless whenever I walk, even though I don't have any other symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take next?
Sinus arrhythmia is a common condition where the heart's rhythm varies with breathing. Since your 2D echo and blood tests are normal, it's a good sign. For managing heart blocks and breathlessness, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This will help in controlling your heart rate and symptoms. Additionally, continue with your diet control and regular exercise routine. If breathlessness persists, you can use a bronchodilator like Salbutamol inhaler as needed.
