I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

View allI'm really worried because I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for a few months now. I'm asthmatic but I'm not having any trouble breathing or coughing. I saw a heart doctor and he did an echo, which came back normal, and the chest X-ray was normal too. The pain is kind of between my lower ribs up to the upper side of my chest, and sometimes it goes to my back. I'm really scared about what it could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
An orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.Tab ibuprofen 400mg is advised orally twice daily for 7 days ,tab pan 40 mg once daily for 7 days and volinigel sos for pain.

I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. I've got this chest pain right in the middle, and it feels tight. I even feel like I'm suffocating and like I can't breathe properly, like something bad might happen. Why could this be happening?

So I had this chest pain about 2 months ago, and it wasn't related to the heart. I got my ECG and 2D echo done, and they both were normal. I also got a chest X-ray, and some other blood tests like cholesterol and thyroid, and everything was normal except for high cholesterol. The pain went away after I took some medication. But now, after 2 months, I'm experiencing the same kind of chest pain. It's more moderate to mild this time, but last time it was really severe. I couldn't even lay on the bed then. This time too, my ECG checked out normal. Should I be doing more tests to make absolutely sure it's not something heart-related, or do you think it's enough for now?
Since your ECG results came back normal and you have already undergone tests like 2D echo, chest x-ray, FBS, HbA1c, and thyroid tests which were all normal except for high cholesterol levels, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac-related. However, if you are still experiencing chest pain, it may be beneficial to consult with your doctor to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can continue taking Pantoprazole for acid reflux and Ulgel syrup for gastritis symptoms.
