What does it mean if my ECG report says I have lateral wall ischemia? Should I be worried about how severe this is? I'd really like to understand what this implies for my heart health.

I've been having this uncomfortable pain just below my left breast, and it's only on one side. I've started working out recently. Could this just be muscle pain from exercising, or should I be worried about something else?

The pain you are experiencing below your left breast could be musculoskeletal in nature due to your workout routine. However, it is important to rule out any other potential causes such as costochondritis or even cardiac issues. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for muscle pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and avoiding strenuous exercise that exacerbates the pain may also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a strong pulse in my chest and throat when I'm sleeping. If I stay in the same position for about half an hour, I really start to notice it, but it seems to stop when I change positions. During the day, I'm super energetic and don't have any issues, but this pulse thing keeps happening at night when I'm trying to sleep. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

This sensation of feeling your pulse in your chest and throat while sleeping is known as pulsatile tinnitus. It can be caused by various factors such as high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid disorders, or even stress and anxiety. To address this issue, you can try managing stress levels, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and ensuring proper sleep hygiene. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of propranolol (Inderal) under the guidance of a doctor to help alleviate the sensation of pulsatile tinnitus while sleeping.
