Why do I feel nervous and anxious all the time? My heart's always thumping really hard, and I can actually feel it when I touch my chest. It's making me really uneasy. What could be causing this?

I'm experiencing these brief episodes of chest pain that just last a few seconds and then vanish. It's weird because my breathing feels fine, and my heart rate doesn't seem to speed up. I found out a while back that I have a small VSD, and my last echo six months ago was normal. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?
"Hello, based on your description of experiencing chest pain for a fraction of seconds without any difficulty in breathing or increased heart rate, and considering your small ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a normal echocardiogram 6 months ago, this chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety rather than a cardiac cause. To alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help reduce any anxiety-related chest pain episodes. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm worried because my heart rate is always above 90, even when I'm just relaxing. I've had Eclampsia with a high heart rate and blood pressure before, and my doctor prescribed Ivabrad 5 mg. They mentioned I could stop taking it after a month. I've got a month's supply left, and I'm wondering if I can keep taking Ivabrad to help with my heart health. Is that a good idea?
Ivabradine 5 mg is a medication commonly used to lower heart rate in certain heart conditions. Since you were prescribed this medication for a specific reason and advised to stop after a month, it is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions. If you have remaining tablets and are concerned about your heart health, you can continue taking ivabradine as prescribed until you finish the course. However, it is recommended to consult with your doctor before starting or stopping any medication regimen.
