Today I experienced some heat in my chest area, which is unusual for me, and it wasn't during my regular walks or runs either. I've been feeling mild chest pain on and off for the last eight months, but my tests like the echo ECG in April were normal, and my TMT in August came back negative too. I'm pretty active, walking daily and running, and haven't changed my dietno junk or spicy foods. Seeing the cardiologist got me a list of medications like Escitalopram, Gastoflora, and Alprazolam, among others, but I'm curious about this new sensation. Is it something to worry about, or could it be a side effect of the medications?

The heat on the chest area that you are feeling could be due to various reasons, including anxiety or musculoskeletal issues. The medications prescribed to you by the cardiologist are as follows: 1) Escitalopram tablets - 1 tablet in the evening 2) Gastoflora tablet - 1 tablet in the evening 3) Alprazolam tablet - 12 tablet in the morning and 12 tablet in the evening 4) Duloxetine capsule - 1 capsule after breakfast 5) Retizyme capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 6) Etoricoxib soft gelatin capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 7) Difen Gel ointment These medications suggest that the cardiologist may suspect an underlying anxiety or gastrointestinal issue. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule as advised by the doctor. If you continue to experience chest pain or any concerning symptoms, please follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

View allI'm really worried because my blood pressure is at an all-time high, showing readings like 152105, and my heart rate is 101. I'm not feeling well at all. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?
"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."

I've had a permanent pacemaker for over three and a half years now. My health has been really great lately, and I'm feeling fit and fine. I'm curious to know if there's any possibility of getting the pacemaker removed at this point.
I'm glad to hear that your health is good. The decision to remove a permanent pacemaker is based on individual circumstances and should be discussed with your cardiologist. If your heart condition has improved significantly and no longer requires the pacemaker, it may be possible to have it removed. However, this decision should only be made after thorough evaluation and consultation with your cardiologist.

I'm a bit concerned about my husband. We checked his blood pressure yesterday, and it was 13392 with a heart rate of 82. Hes not really having any major problems, but lately, he sometimes feels a burning sensation in his chest and a very minor, frequent pain. He does exercise regularly. He's 33 years old now, and about two years ago, his BP was 12080, then last year it was 13080. Do you think we should be worried or get some tests done?
The blood pressure reading of 13392 is slightly elevated, especially the diastolic pressure of 92. Given the history of occasional burning in the chest and minor frequent pain, it would be advisable for your husband to undergo a thorough evaluation. I recommend he consult with a healthcare provider for further assessment. It would be beneficial to perform tests such as an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to assess heart function, as well as blood tests to check for any underlying conditions such as cholesterol levels or thyroid function. Additionally, a stress test may be considered to evaluate his heart's response to physical activity. In the meantime, it is important to continue with regular exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
