Question

I'm a bit worried after getting some chest pain, and my doctor did a 2D Echo test and now suggests an angiogram. I'm really concerned if an angioplasty is absolutely necessary after that? Could you help me understand if the angioplasty is always needed after an angiogram or if there are situations where it's not required?

Question

I'm really worried about the increase in heart attack deaths among the younger generation and folks over 40, especially in places like the Gulf countries and India during these COVID times. What's causing this rise in heart issues? Are there specific factors related to the pandemic that are making heart conditions worse in these areas? It feels like something has changed recently, and I'm trying to understand what's going on.

Question

I'm wondering if it's normal to have tachycardia because both my ECG and echo tests came back normal, but I still experience it. My heart feels like it's beating really loudly, and when I check my pulse with an oximeter, it can shoot up to around 120, then it settles back to normal after a while. It's pretty scary when my heart rate spikes like that. Are there any more tests I should consider to figure out what's going on?

Question

I sometimes experience this sharp, pricking sensation in my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds. Other times, its like a quick, intense catch pain that doesn't last longer than about 23 seconds. I've already done all my blood tests and cardiogram, and everything came back normal. Can you help me understand what's causing this pain?
