Hey, I had a heart attack three months ago and I initially thought it was just a gastric issue, so I didn't go to the hospital right away. I was working normally until I went in for a routine check-up a few days later and they told me I had a heart attack. They did an angioplasty and put a stent in my LAD, and everything seemed to go well. Now, I'm doing a morning walk every day, around 6 km in an hour. I'm a 47-year-old guy and I'm just wondering, when would be a good time for me to go for a stress echo?
Given that you had a heart attack three months ago and have since undergone successful angioplasty with stent placement, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice for follow-up care. Typically, a stress echo is recommended several months after the procedure to evaluate how well your heart is functioning under stress and to ensure that the stent is working effectively. You should consult with your cardiologist to determine the best timing for this test based on your individual recovery and health status. Its great that you are walking daily; continue following your doctor's guidance on physical activity and medication.

I'm a 27-year-old male, and I've been having some pain on the left side of my chest along with pain in my upper back and sometimes in the left side of my neck. It's been a real mixed bagsometimes it's a dull ache, other times it's much worse. About a month ago, I had an ECG, ECHO, and TMT done, and everything came back normal. My lipid profile and high-sensitive troponin levels were normal too, and even my chest X-ray didn't show anything unusual. But this has been going on for the last 10 months now. I'm trying to figure out if this pain might be related to my heart, my lungs, a muscle issue, or maybe just gas. Should I think about repeating the heart-related tests, or what do you recommend as the next step?
"Based on your symptoms and the normal results of your previous heart-related tests, it is less likely that the pain is heart-related. The pain in your left chest, left upper back, and neck could be musculoskeletal in nature, possibly due to muscle strain or inflammation. It could also be related to gas or indigestion. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen and applying heat or ice to the affected areas. Additionally, practicing good posture and gentle stretching exercises may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation. They may recommend physical therapy, muscle relaxants, or other medications such as ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. It is not necessary to repeat the heart-related tests at this point, given your recent normal results. However, if you experience any new or concerning symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice promptly."
