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 allCan an angiogram lead to cardiac instability? What might happen to other parts of the body if the heart becomes unstable? Could it cause things like clumping of the intestines, severe stomach pain, or nausea? Just trying to understand the possible effects, you know?
Angiogram is a diagnostic procedure that involves injecting a contrast dye into the blood vessels to visualize the heart's blood flow. While rare, there is a small risk of cardiac instability during an angiogram, which may include irregular heartbeats or changes in blood pressure. Cardiac instability can lead to decreased blood flow to other organs, potentially causing symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. In severe cases, it can result in organ damage or failure. Will it cause clumping of intestine, severe stomach pain, nausea, etc.? Cardiac instability itself is unlikely to cause clumping of the intestine, severe stomach pain, or nausea. However, if there are complications during or after the angiogram procedure, such as a reaction to the contrast dye or a blood clot formation, it may indirectly affect the gastrointestinal system and lead to symptoms like abdominal pain or nausea. If you experience any unusual symptoms after an angiogram, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

I've been having pain on the left side of my chest for about a month now and I'm really worried. I already went to see a doctor, but nothing seems to be improving. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about something serious?

I'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my chest, and I've already seen a cardiologist about it. They had me do a bunch of tests like an ECG, 2D echo, TMT, CT coronary angiography, and even conventional angiography. Everything came back normal, which was a relief. But just a few days ago, the chest pain came back and the ECG now shows a T wave abnormality, possibly anterior ischemia. I'm really worried about what this could mean. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about, and what do you think my next steps should be?
Hello, based on your history and the recent ECG findings showing T wave abnormality suggesting anterior ischemia, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. Since your cardiac tests have all come back normal, the T wave abnormality may be due to other factors such as coronary artery spasm, inflammation, or even non-cardiac causes. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting medication like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief during chest pain episodes. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) and Calcium channel blockers (e.g. Amlodipine) to help prevent chest pain episodes. It would also be helpful to consider a referral to a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal causes of chest pain, as well as a follow-up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
