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.

View allI'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. I recently went to the doctor, and they found it was 130100. I'm 28 years old, and when the doctor asked about my family history, I mentioned that my dad has high blood pressure but it's quite rare. The doctor didn't prescribe anything right now, just said to check it again in a month. I'm currently on antibiotics for a sore throat. Are there any tips you could give me to help manage or cure this?
Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Reduce sodium intake in your diet. Increase potassium-rich foods such as bananas, oranges, and potatoes. Limit alcohol consumption. Manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Get an adequate amount of quality sleep each night. Avoid smoking and limit caffeine intake. If after a month your blood pressure remains high, you may need medication to help control it. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dadhe's 61 and had some vomiting because of an acidic problem a couple of days ago, and now he's feeling chest tightness. We got his ECG done, and there was some abnormality, plus the echo cardiograph mentioned grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. His blood pressure's normal at 11872. Do you think he needs to start medicines for cholesterol or something to prevent heart failure?
yes for cholestrol patient needs medication. Grade 1 dystolic dysfunction is normal in echo.
