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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 been having this small tingly sensation in my upper chest since November 2016. It kinda feels like there's a blockage or something. Should I be worried about this, and what might it be?
The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or a nerve issue. To help with the tingling sensation, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can take Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) 300mg three times a day to help with nerve-related symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been feeling really off lately, like yesterday before lunch I was sweating a lot and my whole body felt weak, especially my legs. I tried eating some chocolate and rice but I was still sweating. So I went to the hospital and they said my BP was fine, and my GRBS was 153, about 45 minutes after eating. The ECG said sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and short PR interval, but the doctors said everything's normal when they compared it to an old ECG I had. I'm worried because I take Esomac for gastric issues and Cardace for BP, but I've been having mild chest pains almost every day. Ive done tmt echo tests many times and they always come back normal, but Im so anxious about my heart all the time. Now, I get really tired just walking for like 20 minutes. What could be going on?
The ECG from yesterday shows sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and a short PR interval. Given your symptoms of sweating, weakness, and fatigue, along with your history of mild chest pain and anxiety about your heart, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. Since your previous ECGs have been normal, it is reassuring that there are no significant changes at this time. Considering your current medications, Esomac 40mg for gastric issues and Cardace H5 for blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking them as prescribed. To address your concerns about tiredness and anxiety, I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about the possibility of adjusting your medications or exploring other treatment options. In addition, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise within your limits, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new concerns, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a bit worried because I've been taking Rosukem A1075 after getting diagnosed with T2DM in September 2018. The cardiac doctor I visited then suggested this medication for a normal ECG and echo. But I've just got my annual health checkup reports, and both the ECG and TMT turned out fine. Now I'm unsure if I should keep taking this tablet. My diabetologist says I should continue with Rosuvas 5. Could you help me figure out what to do?
Since you were advised Rosukem A1075 by the cardiologist, it is important to follow their recommendation for your heart health. Rosukem A1075 contains Rosuvastatin 10mg and Aspirin 75mg, which helps in managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. As for your diabetologist's advice to continue Rosuvas 5, it contains Rosuvastatin 5mg which also helps in lowering cholesterol. It is important to follow both specialists' advice for optimal management of your conditions. So, you can continue taking Rosukem A1075 as advised by the cardiologist and Rosuvas 5 as advised by the diabetologist for your overall health."
