I've been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

I recently got my ECG done just as a routine check-up, and it came back with a note saying 'suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction.' What exactly does this mean, and should I be worried about it?

suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction on your ECG means there may be a heart attack in the front part of the heart. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, Clopidogrel 75mg once daily, and Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to prevent further complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I recently had a blood pressure reading of 140 over 100 and my doctor prescribed some medication. Later, I went through an echo and it turned out I have high anxiety. I'm curious, can echo tests really measure anxiety? And do you think this is something that can be cured, or does it mean I'll be on medication for both anxiety and blood pressure for the rest of my life?

Anxiety cannot be measured in an echocardiogram. Anxiety is a psychological condition that is typically diagnosed based on symptoms and a clinical evaluation by a mental health professional. Treatment for anxiety may include therapy, lifestyle modifications, and medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Sertraline. It is possible to manage and even overcome anxiety with the right treatment approach. However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed medications for both anxiety and high blood pressure to effectively manage both conditions.

I'm 49 years old and have been taking amlopin 2.5 for about 5 months now. My blood pressure is usually around 13585, and even though my ECG is normal, I've been feeling some unusual symptoms. Sometimes it feels like my heart is racing or beating irregularly, and I'm worried it might be causing arrhythmia or tachycardia. Can amlopin lead to this kind of fast heartbeat? Should I be concerned or look into this further?
