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.

View allI'm really confused because my Echo and ECG tests came back normal, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. I'm a GERD patient, and whenever these palpitations hit, I get really nervous. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing or looking out for?
Palpitations despite normal Echo and ECG in a GERD patient could be due to acid reflux irritating the vagus nerve, leading to palpitations. In such cases, managing GERD effectively can help reduce palpitations. You can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for GERD.

I'm really worried about my mother-in-law's ECho report because it mentions Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. Is this something we should be concerned about? The ECG looks normal, thankfully. Could you help me understand if everything's alright?

I've been experiencing this chest heaviness and occasional pain on the left side, especially when I'm walking or lifting something heavy on that side. It's got me a bit worried, even though I had an ECG, echo, and treadmill test done earlier this year, and they all came back normal. Im 33, and my BMI is 24. I make sure to walk for 30 minutes daily. My LDL cholesterol is 131, total cholesterol is 198, HDL is 49, and triglycerides are at 89. Does everything seem alright with these numbers, or should I be concerned about these symptoms?
While your ECG, echo, and TMT results from earlier this year are normal, the chest heaviness and pain you experience while walking or lifting heavy weights on the left side should not be ignored. Your lipid profile shows slightly elevated LDL cholesterol at 131 mgdL, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but your total cholesterol and triglycerides are within acceptable ranges. Although these findings are somewhat reassuring, persistent symptoms warrant further evaluation. Consider following up with a cardiologist to discuss these symptoms and possibly repeat or conduct additional tests. Managing cholesterol through diet, exercise, and possibly medication, as well as continuing regular physical activity, is essential. Given your symptoms, it's crucial to ensure there is no underlying cardiovascular issue.
