I'm 27 and have had no bad habits. For the last eight months, I've been experiencing these quick chest pains on the left side; they just last about 5 to 15 seconds, and they come and go. I've been to the cardiologist and had around 20 ECGs, an echo, and a lipid profile done, and everything came back normal. The thing is, I don't feel any pain during heavy work, just at random times. I'm worried and wondering if this is a heart issue or maybe something physiological? Also, at home, my heart rate is slow, but as soon as I enter the hospital and the tension hits, my heart rate spikes. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of non-cardiac chest pain, especially since your cardiology checkups including ECG, echo, and lipid profile have come back normal. Non-cardiac chest pain can be caused by issues such as muscle strain, anxiety, or gastrointestinal problems. Since your symptoms have been ongoing for eight months and are not related to heavy work, it is less likely to be a heart-related issue. To help with the chest pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help with episodes of high heart rate related to tension. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm often finding my pulse rate hitting around 110 per minute even when I'm just resting. My doctor prescribed Betacap TR 40 and mentioned it might just be anxiety. Do you have any advice on whether there are other medications I should consider or any specific tests I should look into to better understand what's going on?
Your doctor has prescribed you Betacap TR 40 for your high pulse rate, which is likely due to anxiety. This medication contains Propranolol and helps in reducing heart rate and controlling symptoms of anxiety. You can take it as prescribed by your doctor. In addition to medication, you may also consider some lifestyle modifications to help manage anxiety and lower your pulse rate. This can include regular exercise, stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation, and ensuring you get an adequate amount of sleep. As for tests, your doctor may recommend some blood tests to rule out any underlying medical conditions that could be contributing to your high pulse rate. These tests may include thyroid function tests, electrolyte levels, and cardiac enzymes. It's important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
