Why do I get this pain in my chest on the left side when I climb stairs or even shout? I've done all the tests like ECG, Echo, TMT, and CT angio, and they all came back normal. The CT showed no blockage but mentioned deep myocardial bridges. My cardiologist says it's not angina or heart disease but put me on Beta lock 0.25 twice a day. Anytime I get startled awake or shout when I'm angry, the pain starts again, spreading to my left back, arms, and neck. It's so confusing because the doc says it's nothing serious, but the pain keeps coming back and it's worrisome. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks, which can manifest as chest pain and other physical symptoms. The Beta Block medication prescribed by your cardiologist can help manage these symptoms by reducing the effects of adrenaline on your body. In addition to the medication, it may be helpful to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, and regular physical activity. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and possibly a referral to a mental health professional for additional support. Remember to take your Beta Block medication as prescribed and try to incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate your symptoms.

I'm really puzzled right now. My EKG keeps coming back abnormal, but the cardiologist didnt mention any problems before. I've started having palpitations, and there's been a lot of stress in my life lately. I decided to get a second opinion from a different cardiologist, but I'm confused. My EKG shows an incomplete right bundle branch block and a left anterior fascicular block. What does that even mean? My blood work is fine, my blood pressure is always excellent, and I dont have high cholesterol. Can you help me understand this?

I recently did some exercise for about half an hour, and afterward, I felt my heartbeat kind of radiating up to my head, which was really unusual. I could actually hear my heartbeat and felt this throbbing in my head. I did an ECG and echo2D a couple of weeks ago, and everything seemed okay back then. Is this something I should be worried about or should I go see a doctor?
It is not uncommon to experience a sensation of your heartbeat in your head after exercise, especially if you have been exerting yourself. This is known as pulsatile tinnitus and can be a normal response to physical activity. However, if you are also experiencing head throbbing along with this sensation, it may be worth monitoring and discussing with your physician. In the meantime, you can consider taking a mild pain reliever such as Acetaminophen 500mg to help alleviate any discomfort.
