I've been having these short period chest pains for about 6 months now, and honestly, it's freaking me out a bit. I got my ECG and Doppler tests done, and they came back normal. I'm also taking esoz d every morning for gastric issues. But, the chest pains still show up sometimes, and I can't help but worry about them being signs of a heart attack. What do you think is going on here? Any guidance would really help.

View allI've got a situation that's really been weighing on my mind. Someone close to me is having a heart artery valve operation, and I've learned that their valve is leaking blood. I've heard about a medication called Dilzem60, but I'm not sure if it's safe in this situation. Can you help me understand if taking Dilzem60 is advisable for someone dealing with a leaking heart valve? It would be great if you could shed some light on this.
Consult Your Cardiologist Immediately: If you suspect the valve is leaking or if you're experiencing symptoms like swelling, shortness of breath, or fatigue, contact your cardiologist immediately. Monitor Your Symptoms: Keep track of any new or worsening symptoms. Let your doctor know if you experience dizziness, chest pain, irregular heartbeats, or shortness of breath. Follow Your Doctor's Instructions: Only take the medications your cardiologist prescribes, and avoid self-adjusting the dose or stopping medications like Dilzem without their guidance.

I'm experiencing something odd and could use some advice. Lately, when I wake up and start walking, it feels like my heart is racing, and I get a bit breathlessbut only the first time. If I lie back down for a bit and then walk again, I feel completely normal. Is this something I should worry about in terms of my heart? I've had an ECG and a 2D Echo, and they both came back normal. I also saw a pulmonologist, and all tests were fine. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and 2D Echo results, as well as the evaluation by a pulmonologist, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart issue or a pulmonary problem. It is possible that your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying down position. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and standing up slowly to allow your body to adjust to the change in position. In some cases, medications like Fludrocortisone or Midodrine may be prescribed to help manage orthostatic hypotension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
