View allMy friend has been experiencing this burning sensation in his chest and pain around his heart for the past few weeks, and he's also feeling really weak. We're both getting pretty worried about what's causing this and what it might mean. Any idea what could be going on or what steps we should take next?

My mom had an angioplasty about 36 hours ago with two stents placed because her artery was fully blocked. Now she's in the ICU and her heart rate is pretty high, like around 152 bpm, and it's averaging about 125 bpm. Plus, she's had low blood pressure a few times. Is this something we should be worried about? Could these be signs of any complications? Would really appreciate your advice.
The low blood pressure could be a result of reduced heart function or other factors. To address the high heart rate, a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower the heart rate. It is important to consult a cardiologist to assess her cardiac function in detail.

I've had an echo, ECG, TMT, and blood tests, and everything turned out normal, but I'm still feeling chest pain, sometimes pain in my left hand, and dizziness. Should I do these tests again, or could this all be anxiety-related? I've been through many tests before, and they keep coming back normal. Could this just be anxiety?
It's good that your echo, ECG, TMT, and blood tests have come back normal. Chest pain, left hand pain, and dizziness can sometimes be related to anxiety, but it's important to rule out any other underlying medical conditions. Since you have already done multiple tests before, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist to discuss your symptoms and previous test results. They may suggest further evaluation or prescribe medications like Ativan (lorazepam) for anxiety if needed.
