View allI'm really worried about my health. I've been dealing with chest discomfort, gastric issues, and health anxiety for the last two years. Last year, I went through several tests like ECG, echo, TMT, blood tests, and even checked troponin levels twice, but everything came back normal. I also had deficiencies in vitamin D and B12, for which I took injections and tablets. Now, for the past two weeks, I've been feeling that high gastric indigestion and chest discomfort again. Yesterday, I did another ECG, and it showed a slight ST depression in V5, but I was really anxious at the time. Could this be just anxiety, or is there something serious going on? I'm really concerned about this.
It's good to know that your previous cardiac tests and blood work have come back normal. Based on the symptoms you have described and the slight ST Depression in V5 on your recent ECG, it is important to consider both physical and psychological factors. The chest discomfort and gastric indigestion could be related to your anxiety, but it is also important to rule out any potential cardiac issues. I would recommend starting with a medication like omeprazole 20mg once daily for your gastric issues. Additionally, for anxiety, you can try taking a medication like escitalopram 10mg once daily. However, it is crucial to follow up with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and to discuss the ECG findings. They may recommend further tests or adjustments to your treatment plan. It's also important to continue managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and counseling support. Please continue to monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or if you experience any new concerning symptoms

I've been noticing some skipped beats, like a big thump happening at least twice a day. I'm wondering what might be causing this. I don't usually take naps during the day. Could that be related somehow? It's a bit concerning.
Having skipped beats, also known as palpitations, can be caused by various factors. Since you are experiencing this sensation at least twice a day, it is important to investigate further. One common cause of palpitations is caffeine intake, so I would recommend reducing your consumption of caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Stress and anxiety can also trigger palpitations, so practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation may be helpful. Additionally, certain medications or underlying heart conditions could be contributing to your symptoms. It would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
